We literally can't keep up
Turns out Jeremy McConnell IS set to become a father for the second time, despite initially pretending the announcement was a "prank".
Last week he announced that his girlfriend Katie McCreath was pregnant – before swiftly denying the claims.
But now he's done another U-turn (a W-turn?) with Katie confirming the pregnancy for real this time.
The couple announced their happy news with a photoshoot with The Sun, where they posed with their pet dog and shetland pony.
"Jeremy and Katie are ecstatic. The baby marks a brand new chapter in their lives," a source told the publication.
“They are both so excited and can’t wait to welcome their little son or daughter. Jeremy has found someone that he really loves and wants to be with for ever. They can't wait to become parents and start a family together."
