After she told him the she was pregnant, he said that he wanted nothing to do with his daughter.
The mum had tweeted Loose Women and Beverley after she had watched the actress on the show: "break my heart that my baby has no contact with her dad’s family at the best of times @loosewomen today was a tough watch @Beverleycallard".
