Who is Chantelle Steadman and where is she now?
CHANTELLE Steadman was thrust into the limelight in the late noughties.
She was only just a child when she and her boyfriend at the time Alfie Patten were dubbed Britain’s youngest parents.
Who is Chantelle Steadman?
Chantelle grew up in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
She lived in a council house with her parents and five brothers.
She was thrown into the spotlight when she got pregnant in her early teens with her former boyfriend Alfie Patten.
The couple were dubbed Britain’s youngest parents at the time.
What age was Chantelle when she fell pregnant?
She was just 14 years old when she fell pregnant with her 13-year-old boyfriend Alfie Patten.
She had tried to keep the pregnancy from her mother by wearing baggy T-shirts but was confronted when her mum noticed she had been putting on weight after about 18 weeks.
Chantelle and Alfie pleaded with their parents to let them keep the baby and not have an abortion.
In February 2009, Maisie Roxanne was born weighing 7lbs and 3oz.
Chantelle told The Sun at the time that she was nervous going into labour but excited now her daughter had been born.
“I have started a church course and I am going to do work experience helping other young mums.
“I’ll be a great mum and Alfie will be a great dad.”
But a DNA test later revealed the real father was actually mutual friend Tyler Barker, then 14.
Speaking to the Daily Mail at the time, a then 14-year-old Tyler said: “Having sex with her was the worst mistake I’ve ever made in my life. I wish I’d never met her.
“She asked me out a couple of times but I kept turning her down. It was routine for boys to stay over with her in her bed. But I only slept with her the once.
“I did not use any contraception but Chantelle told me she would take the morning-after pill. I thought she would take care of it.
“All my mates have been teasing me but it’s not funny.”
