Eddie's new girlfriend Tracey Edmonds has insisted he will play a role in the child's upbringing if he is the father.Tracey said: "Without me getting too deep into it, they had a quick relationship before I got together with Eddie. So that's their business.There'll be a paternity test and if it is his then he will be responsible."In December, Eddie was asked about his relationship with Mel and her pregnancy. He angrily replied: "We're not together anymore. And I don't know whose child that it, until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn't jump to conclusions, sir."
