Stephanie Davis literally just gave birth to her son last week and her former boyfriend and Celebrity Big Brother co-star Jeremy McConnell is already asking for a paternity test.

Steph and Jez' whirlwind romance (which you can read all about here) caused quite a bit of a stir last year when they got together in the CBB house. Steph had been in a relationship with model Sam Reece at the time and it was pretty much dramz galore. Remember?

The couple were on/off and all over the place for a while, then seemed to call quits on their relationship for good. Stephanie then revealed she was pregnant with Jez's baby.

Despite denying that he was the father throughout the pregnancy, Jeremy appeared to be stepping up now that the baby has been born.

In a statement released to The Daily Star, Jez said that he will ‘step up’ if it’s proved that he is the father.

"I am delighted that Steph has safely had the baby, of course if he is my son I will absolutely step up and do what I can to support him," he said.

"Any timescale for that is in Steph's hands now.

"I did reach out to her some weeks ago but didn't hear back."

BUT, it has now been reported that Jez wants a paternity test carried out as soon as possible.

According to The Mirror, a source has said: "Yes he is looking to arrange this ASAP, but is this time dependant on Steph."

Stephanie has also hit back at claims Jeremy had tried to contact her. Speaking to the newspaper, Steph's rep revealed: "He has never reached out and she's all alone with her son."

AND in news that has completely thrown this whole 'who's the daddy' debate a bit sideways, another potential father has been thrown into the mix.

Joshua Ritchie – who you're going to know VERY well soon as he's hitting our screens in brand new Ex On The Beach tonight – has come forward and revealed he could be the baby's dad.

Last May, Josh and Steph were caught in bed together during some raunchy Snapchats, and he confirmed that they did sleep together.

During a Facebook Live with The Sun, he said: "I slept with Steph nearly a year ago.

“I’m worried – she could be turning up on my doorstep with a baby any time soon.”

Blimey.
