During series four, the boys proved they were far from responsible parents.

The group – including Jack Fincham and Dr Alex George – cared for the tots while their partners left the villa for a girls’ trip.

As a result, she refused to take part in the challenge and left Jordan to tackle fatherhood alone.

In the beach hut, Anna said: “I don’t want a baby with him. I don’t know whose baby that is, because it’s not mine. He probably doesn’t even know whose baby it is himself.”

Meanwhile, Luke Trotman and Luke Mabbott were keen to avoid developing dad bods after welcoming their tots.

The pair were joined by their toy dolls during a quick gym session.

At one point, Luke T even used a bench press whilst his baby was strapped to his chest.

We’re pretty sure that wouldn’t happen on the outside!
