PROFESSOR GREEN HAD a pretty deep conversation today for a Tuesday afternoon.

The musician was on ITV’s Loose Women to promote his new single ‘Count On You’, but the conversation went a little bit deeper than marketing.

Green revealed that in his early twenties his then-girlfriend found herself pregnant:

She had an abortion. We didn’t want to our child to go through what we went through growing up. We didn’t talk to anyone in our families about it. [Afterwards] both families were like, “You idiots, why didn’t you talk to us?

Green was brought up by his grandmother and his great-grandmother.

Asked by the panelists whether he felt any regrets about the abortion, Green was reflective and honest:

Potentially, but you can’t go back in time and change anything. We were certain [at the time] that we didn’t want to raise a child.

At the time of his girlfriend’s pregnancy he was just 21-years-old.

Green explained that he still does want to have kids and thinks that if he’s blessed with kids that he’ll a better father for having waited.

It’s taken me a long time to get here, but you know what, I feel like the longer I go without having children, the better I become as a man, which hopefully will feed into me becoming a better father when I do have children.

After splitting with girlfriend Fae Williams this year and having previously been married to Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, Green has admitted that his love life is more ‘speed dating’ than anything else – so perhaps kids are off the cards for now.

Viewers were left impressed by Green’s reflective and honest nature:
