Tressa Middleton was horrifically raped by her brother aged 11, while Alfie Patten has battled the bottle since claiming to have become a teenage dad. They were the poster children of ‘Broken Britain’ – a tragically abused girl who became a mum at 12, and a boy who claimed he had fathered a child aged 13.
And in the years since their infamous rise to fame, Tressa Middleton and Alfie Patten have struggled to rebuild their lives, battling drugs, booze and heartbreaking tragedies.
Over the weekend, reports emerged that a young girl in Britain has given birth to a baby aged 11, with social services investigating the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy.
The shocking birth is thought to make her the UK’s youngest mum, a title previously held by tragic Tressa, who spiralled into heroin addiction after she was raped aged 11 by her eldest brother, Jason.
Alfie, meanwhile, insisted he was Britain’s youngest dad before a DNA test proved otherwise. Plunged into depression by the revelation, he was this year kicked out of his home after allegedly using it as a base for drug operations.
Here, we reveal what became of the two young Brits who stunned the nation.
