New research has claimed that almost one in 10 fathers in Britain are unsure over the paternity of their children.
The study, which is based on a YouGov survey of 5,266 parents on behalf of DNATestingChoice.com, added that in some areas of Britain, this figure rises to almost one in five men.
On average, around 1.2 million men (8%) said they were unsure about whether their children are their own. However, this number jumps to 16% for men in Northern Ireland, London and Newcastle, while men in Scotland are less likely to question whether they are the father of their children, with just 3% unsure.
This compares to British women, with just 460,000 admitting they were unsure of who the biological father of their child is.
The study found that certain factors also played a role on how a person felt about their partner's fidelity. For example, older fathers were said to be more secure in their family structure, with just 5% saying they were unsure over paternity issues. This compares to 15% of fathers aged between 25 and 34 who are the most likely to be unsure.
Elsewhere, mothers who have never married are most likely to have doubts about who the father of their child. When asked, 8% said they would have doubts, while 18% of fathers who are separate or divorced said they have questioned the paternity of their kids.
Craig Macpherson, of DNATestingChoice.com, said: "We are finding an increasing number of parents turning to paternity testing to end years of uncertainty. DNA Paternity tests prove whether or not a man is the biological father of a child giving valuable reassurance."
