Jack wrote: ‘I’m normally a very open book and share most of my life on my social media. This blessing I chose not to. I’m just a normal geeza, who went on a tv show, which throws you straight into the public eye...which I will forever be grateful for. However I knew for myself I needed personal time and to keep this part of my life private to prepare for this new responsibility and part of me that will change my life forever. This is undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened to me and it’s true what they say, the instant feeling of love and connection you have with your child is a feeling like no other.’

This is undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened to me and it’s true what they say, the instant feeling of love and connection you have with your child is a feeling like no other. I want to thank my family and friends for your continued support, also to my little girls mother, who has been totally AMAZING throughout. Although we are not together we are great friends as we have been for many years and our priority is co-parenting our beautiful baby girl. Both mum and baby are doing great.

Whilst Jack didn’t reveal the identity of Blossom’s mother in his post, he has since confirmed to The Sun that Blossom’s mum is his 29-year-old pal Casey Ranger. Whilst the timing of this news – just nine months after Jack’s high-profile split from Dani Dyer - may raise eyebrows amongst some Jack and Dani fans, Jack insists he was single when he got together with Casey.

He told The Sun: ‘Myself and Casey got together when we were both single. It was a whirlwind romance and shortly after had the amazing news that she was expecting which we were both over the moon about. It didn’t work out romantically for us, however as I’ve said previously we are still great friends and have been for around 10 years.’

How did Dani Dyer react?

Appearing on BBC Radio 2 shortly after Jack’s post, Dani Dyer revealed that Jack had not forewarned her about the announcement, saying, ‘No news. When everyone else found out, I found out. So yeah.’ Nonetheless, she offered her best wishes to her ex, saying: ‘Listen all it is, everyone loves a baby like I said. I wish them all the best. Congratulations. There you go.’
