Phil Mitchell is the biological father of Sharon’s young son Albie Watts. <\/p>
Sharon Watts discovering the truth paternity of her son Albie has sparked strong feelings in the EastEnders<\/a> fandom.<\/p>\n The shocking twist saw it revealed that Keanu Taylor<\/a> (Danny Walters) was not the biological father of Albie<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 2019, Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) did a home DNA test and the results stated that the father of her unborn baby was not her then-husband Phil Mitchell<\/a> (Steve McFadden).<\/p>\n This led Sharon to assume that her adulterous lover Keanu was the father of her child.<\/p>\n However, after medical tests on Albie years this week, he was revealed to have a genetic condition, Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, which requires both parents to be carriers of a gene predisposing a child to the condition.<\/p>\n After tests on Sharon and Keanu, only Sharon carried the gene, ruling Keanu out as Albie\u2019s father.<\/p>\n While Keanu is ignorant of these facts, Sharon realised that Phil must be Albie\u2019s father<\/a>. The doctor noted that home DNA test kits are unreliable and can be easily contaminated.<\/p>\n
