When they jumped into the limelight, they were still children.
However, since then, what has become of Britain’s youngest parents?
This week we learned that Tressa Middleton, Britain’s youngest mother, is expecting her fourth child after giving birth at the age of 12.

When Tressa’s pregnancy at age 11 was made public, it was thought to be the result of an alcohol-related incident.
The identity of the father was kept secret until 2009, when the young mother broke down and told authorities that her older brother Jason had assaulted her s******y.
Jason, 34, was convicted of sexually abusing the woman since she was seven years old and was sentenced to four years in prison in 2009. This was all thanks to DNA evidence.
Tressa told the Daily Mail in 2011 that “sometimes he would blackmail or bribe me into doing it.”
Since then, Tressa has struggled to rebuild her life and overcome her heroin addiction, which was costing her £400 every day.
Currently, she and her partner, Darren Young, are expecting their third child.
