Eddie Murphy has split with girlfriend Melanie Brown and suggested he may not be responsible for the former Spice Girl's pregnancy by demanding a DNA test.

"We're not together anymore," admitted the Beverly Hills Cop star on a Dutch chat show last night. "I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test," he added.

Murphy made the comments on the RTL Boulevard programme just a day after the former Spice Girl spoke about their love and her pregnancy.

"We're in love and get on really well," said Brown on Sunday. "I can't wait to spend Christmas with him and I can't wait to have this baby."
