Bee Gees star Maurice Gibb's 'secret son' has hit back at Lulu's claims her late former husband fathered him with during their six-year marriage.
Last week, the Scottish singer, 77, made the astonishing claim on The Podcast, where she told the esteemed journalist that Maurice had 'potentially' fathered the child while she was married to the hitmaker.
Lulu, 77, who separated from Gibb in 1973 before the couple had any children, told Theroux she had 'just found out' and had irrefutable proof that the musician secretly fathered a son through a brief fling.
In the wake of the conversation, Nick Endacott-Gibb, 57, has now insisted he was conceived two years before Lulu and Maurice's romance began.
Speaking to the Mirror, Nick said: 'I was born in April 1968, conceived in August 1967. Lulu and Maurice weren't married until 1969, after what has been described for decades as a 'whirlwind' romance...

'Were you together with him, Lulu? Two years does not a whirlwind make. I'm as curious as she is about whether Maurice was with her at the time I was conceived. It was the summer of love, after all!'
In her chat with Louis, Lulu said: ''I think he's got a son. It might have happened when we were married. I just found out...
'Someone showed me something and I can't remember the year he impregnated this girl after a one night stand and he has a son who has had his genes taken. It's proven. He's a hundred percent Maurice’s.'
Maurice, who died in 2003 after a cardiac arrest at his Miami home, has two known children, daughter Samantha and son Adam, with second wife Yvonne Spenceley.
But in 2019, Nick, who was given up for adoption as a baby, claimed that he is the biological son of the British performer and band studio manager Patti Nolder, after a DNA test provided a '100 percent match' with Maurice's son Adam.
However Nick, who is also a musician, said particular members of the family were still questioning his claims.
'For some reason some members of the family still want to publicly cast doubt on the validity of my DNA result from two years ago, rather than listening to the music I'm creating which surely speaks for itself,' he said at the time.

After searching for his biological parents his entire life, Nick met Patti in 2003, and discovered she worked with the Bee Gees as a studio manager, enjoying a close relationship with the band - Gibb brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice.
Nick, who was raised by a middle-class family in Ashdown Forest, East Sussex, believed that his father was Chris Andrews, frontman of the Sixties rock band Fleur de Lys, but a DNA test in 2009 came back negative.
But after Patti's sister told him Gibb was his biological father, he took three separate facial recognition tests which showed there was a high chance the pair were related. One returned a match percentage of 95.2.
Gibb's widow Yvonne refused his request for a DNA test, despite years of begging.
However, having sent a saliva test to an online genealogy firm, he was shocked to discover that Gibb's son Adam had provided his own DNA to website Ancestry.co.uk years previously - and the match gave Nick the answers he needed.

Speaking to Louis about the likelihood of Gibb fathering a son during their marriage, Lulu said she hadn't looked into when the child was born 'because it wasn't that important'.
'I think I used to take myself way too seriously,' she added. 'I know you're surprised at that, but it's true, I think.
'And it's painful when you take yourself too seriously or when you see the world black and white because there are many grey areas and I've learned through trial and tribulation.
'You know, I've had unbelievable highs, but I've also had a lot of lows, which most people have in their life. For God's sake, I'm no different to anybody else in that respect.
'So I've looked at it, I've wanted to know why. I'm always curious and I think that's probably helped me to survive all the ups and the downs in my life.'
