In what could be a move towards a dramatic conclusion of the Stephanie Davis – Jeremy McConnell – baby saga, Jeremy McConnell appeared on This Morning today to take a DNA test.
He also discussed with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield the events of the past few months, explaining of their relationship: " I wasn’t used to any of that and I was probably immature. I've learnt... it's something you have to go through and we did go through a lot. "
He also added: "There were certain things I wasn’t happy about. She told me that personally that she was with other people."
And when discussing the paternity of baby Caben, he said: "I never said once I wasn’t the father.
"I just want reassurance.
"I think Steph was totally faithful when we were together. It was just when we broke up during that month."
Of his decision to talk to publicly about the situation, he said: "This is the last time I'm talking about the situation. When she makes it public, I have to defend himself.
"I hope I am the dad. I just want to sort it."
He also hit back at Stephanie Davis' actions during this time, explaining: "I have my own flaws but what she'd trying to do is commandeer the public.
"I think she's waving it. She's trying to make me look like the bad guy and it's not the case.
"The son 110% could be mine.
"It's time to put both our differences aside and do the right thing. It's really self-explanatory the whole situation, it could have been dealt with differently from the start."
He said that his relationship with Steph was "toxic" and that: " I never once said I wouldn’t [want to be the dad] what kind of man would do that?
"Maybe my silence was seen as weakness but that's not the case."
There was talk of a contract that Steph's legal team have created. They weren't allowed to discuss it on the show, but Phil said he wouldn't sign it himself, and Jeremy agreed.
