Justin had announced Anita’s pregnancy on Instagram back in November.
He told his 125,000 followers: ‘LIFE! I can’t believe this is happening but it’s the best news to hear and I am very excited to share with you all that I’m going to be a daddy.
‘Here’s to celebrating my last year of my twenties and becoming a daddy in 2020.’

He later explained on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that he and Anita had broken up after dating on and off for five years.
‘You know you can’t force something that’s not really meant to be there,’ he said of the demise of their romantic relationship.
‘I have all the support in the world, and she’s beautiful, and I adore her. But I just think that this situation where it is now is probably the right thing for both of us.’
