A DNA test confirmed that Jack was the father of Samatha's son Greyson not long after the birth in 2011, but Jack was unaware of his son's disability for the first two years of his life.
In an interview with The Sunday People in 2014, Sammy explained that she was using her social media account to raise awareness of the rare neurological disorder which causes temporary paralysis on one side of his body.
'It sounds horrible but I don't think it's important [Jack] is aware of it,' Sammy said. 'Greyson and I don't even know him. It would be like telling someone off the street.'

She added: '[Jack] might regret not meeting him. But only one person can answer that. I would like my son to have a father in his life but how can you feel sad for something he’s never had? I guess it’s sad in itself to say that.'
