And the dad is…
Well the DNA tests are out and a guy called Tyler Barker, 14, is the father of teen slut Chantelle Stedman’s daughter Maisie. He lives at the same housing estate as Stedman. 
It was revealed in March that the dad was not Alfie Patten after the boy took a DNA test. Five other boys claimed to have slept with the girl.
Barker’s dad said Stedman seduced his son while he was drunk — and told how Tyler wept when he realised he could have fathered the tot.
Initially the courts ruled that the children’s rights superseded the rights of the media to report the story.
But earlier this month a further judgment by Mrs Justice Eleanor King made it possible to report certain facts, including that DNA testing had established Tyler to be the baby’s father.
The judge condemned the ‘gross error of judgment’ by Alfie’s father, Denis Patten, and Chantelle’s mother in thrusting their ‘ vulnerable children’ into the media spotlight in the first place.
Regardless of who is the baby’s biological father, she was born after a bunch of kids thought they could play at adults — but seem to have been given no sense of real values and responsibility.

5 a Day – Are you getting enough?
5 a Day Are you getting enough? Tibit’s restaurant in Picadilly London launched a National Vegetarian Week campaign today to encourage people to get their 5 a day.
Vegetarian model Juliet was transformed into Eve – an artistic 5 a day installation in tibit’s window on Heddon street. Paparrazzi cameras clicked as Juliet took a bite from one of her 5 a day portions – a big juicy red apple that Adam would have been proud of.
tibit’s are on a mission to prove that plant foods can be indulgent and sexy and shake off the preconcieved ideas of vegetarian food that some long in the tooth city chefs still cling to.
On thursday tibits plan to elabourate on this theme with a National Vegetarian Week breakfast event for journalists that showcases the top vegetarian products from around the UK. To be added to guest list (Journalists) please visit Tibits National Vegetarian week Event
