'If she is pregnant it's not mine': Jeremy McConnell calls for a DNA test to prove Stephanie Davis' claims she is having his child are false

Jeremy McConnell has insisted his ex Stephanie Davis is not pregnant with his child and has even called for a DNA test if she gives birth to prove she is lying.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant called Stephanie's claims 'ridiculous,' and added she would look like a 'mug' when it is revealed any child is not his after a paternity test, Ireland's TV Now Magazine reports.

Following a bitter war of words between the former couple last week, the 26-year-old again said: 'I'm not going to be a dad. If she is pregnant, it's not mine.

No love lost: Jeremy McConnell has insisted his ex Stephanie Davis is not pregnant with his child and has even called for a DNA test if she gives birth to prove she is lying

'If I was a dad, I'd be 100% no, 110%, the best dad in the world. But you'll see in the future that it's not my kid, and she'll look like a mug,' he added.

A representative for Stephanie said in a statement to MailOnline: 'Our client is categorically pregnant. We do not need to continue repeating this.' 

Despite their strained relationship, Jeremy showed he still cared for the former Hollyoaks actress and dismissed her behaviour as a tactic to secure media coverage.

'I still love Steph and I’d never bad mouth her, but I just think the whole thing is a media approach and it’s ridiculous,' he said.  

Just over a week ago Stephanie, 23, alleged her ex had a serious drug problem and begged him to go to rehab.

In response, Jeremy vehemently denied he was abusing narcotics and accused Stephanie of having an affair with her ex-boyfriend Sam Reece during their rocky four-month romance.

The former Beauty School Cop-Out star also denied Stephanie's claims again that he is the father of her unborn child.

Posting a lengthy statement on Twitter, he wrote: 'Was gonna stay quiet about the whole thing and just let it come out normally, first of all I'd like to let people know I'm perfectly healthy mind and body and have took the break up privately, but when me and my family are effected by what I'd call a person with no shame, she is slandering me and trying to portray me in a certain light for a reason, to make me look like a terrible lad.

'People can choose to believe or not. I do not care. For months she was seeing Sam behind my back and now in Ibiza together. It will all unfold in time.

'People don't know what I put with in that relationship. I was never perfect but please, don't believe 90 per cent of what she says. I've messed up but I'd never be as evil. This will be my last message about her #bookclosed.'

The night before his lengthy post, he tweeted: 'I'm as shocked as all you are at this whole saga, I'm sure you can join the dots yourself #letmelive.

'She's not pregnant with my child come on. It's all lies I've been told by her friends.'

The following morning, an angry Steph hit back: 'Tell me I'm not pregnant and keep denying your child, and I#ll throw u right under that bus as the s**t I have in u, u would never survive!'

Responding to Jeremy's claims she's in Spain with her ex - who she dumped on TV after falling for Jeremy on Celebrity Big Brother - Stephanie posted a photo of her legs on a balcony in Liverpool.

She wrote: 'Sorry does his tweet not show how f**ked he is... I'm in Ibiza with Sam.......... Sure I'm in Liverpool.

'Let's look positively he needs this to sort his life out , for all u to understand what I've been through with his crazy mind. It's all good.' 

Jeremy's statement came an hour after Stephanie posted her own lengthy essay, accusing her ex of failing to turn up for baby scans.

She wrote: 'I think it's disgusting that Jeremy hasn't turned up for scans and is constantly drunk and partying, the stress he has had me under. I've already been in hospital once with pains and stress.

'I don't hate the lad I feel very VERY sorry for him the fact no one is getting him the help he needs. His management should have him in rehab and sorting his life out so he can then be there for his child before he dies.

'I wouldn't mind but don't WANT to get someone pregnant and have a family. To not be there. I'm happy doing it alone. Off for a chilled week away with bump.

'Been doing this since his act from Big Brother was over after sleeping with what… 9 girls now? Boy need help. Sort it out and be a dad. Bye for now, Steph.'

The night before the post, Stephanie shared a brief video clip - believed to taken in April during their holiday in Cape Verde - of a bloodied Jeremy.

In the nine second clip, Jeremy is heard to say: 'This is going straight on Twitter and you're going to watch it go on Twitter. You're going to watch this go on Twitter. You don't think I will? You don't think I will?'

A voice that sounds like Stephanie is heard off camera, saying: 'Get off me. Get the f**k off.'

Tweeting afterwards, she declared: 'U all give me s**t... U have no idea what I've put up with, with that man, now, I'm going to look after me & my baby. Now u know! #dontjudge.'

Responding to the video posting, Jeremy tweeted: 'We were in Africa , I videoed it, I never once outed her for the abuse, she done it herself #truth.

After someone tweeted him 'there was video evidence of the behaviour', he replied: 'I took the video.'

At the time of their visit to Cape Verde, Jeremy was reported to have been hospitalised and needed six stitches in his hand during a row with his girlfriend.

A source told The Sun in April: 'Jeremy and Stephanie had a huge fight last night which ended with him having to get six stitches. They were both screaming foul language and a number of guests complained as they had small children with them.

'When the hotel's security came to the room the place was trashed. Stephanie verbally attacked them too and they eventually had to call the police to calm things down. Reception staff have described them as the worst guests they've ever had.'

MailOnline reached out to Jeremy's reps for comment, while Stephanie's spokesperson declined to comment.

Following a week of speculation and deleted tweets, the actress confirmed her pregnancy in an interview with OK! magazine on Monday.

She said: 'My pregnancy was a shock but I can't wait to be a mum. I hope that Jeremy will want to be a part of this baby's life, but if he decides not to then I am prepared to raise our baby on my own.

'I'm so excited to be a parent, I couldn't be happier.'

Meanwhile, The Only Way Is Essex star Danielle Armstrong has denied having a private message conversation with Stephanie back in February, which was shared on Twitter on Thursday.

Steph shared a conversation appearing to be between the two women discussing Jeremy and Megan McKenna following a night out at Sheesh in Chigwell, Essex, which also included what seemed to be Danielle's mobile phone number.

However, Danielle's rep told MailOnline that the conversation was fabricated and it isn't even the TOWIE's star phone number.

He said: 'Danielle is completely shocked that Steph would take to social media to fabricate an entire conversation that never occurred and in turn, a Twitter profile to corroborate it alongside a fake phone number.

'It is clear that Stephanie is a distraught and unstable woman at present and Danielle hopes that she seeks the necessary help to recover.'
