Alfie Patten is “distraught and devastated” by claims that he is not the father of baby Maisie, after two other teenagers claimed they had a relationship with his girlfriend.

However, Chantelle claims the two boys are lying and insist Alfie is the only boyfriend she has had. Nicola Patten, 43, the 13-year-old’s mother, said he had not doubted the paternity of the week-old child until now.

On Sunday two boys, aged 14 and 16, both claimed they could be the father of 15-year-old Chantelle Steadman’s daughter. Several others have also claimed to have had a sexual relationship with the schoolgirl, from Eastbourne in Sussex.

Nicola told The Mirror: “He’s absolutely devastated these lads have come forward to say they slept with her at the time she got pregnant. Everything is wrong.

The Patten family have now accepted that a DNA test is needed to confirm the paternity. It was disclosed that Alfie and Chantelle had routinely been allowed to share a bed. Two more teenagers have since said that they too had spent the night in Chantelle’s room.
