The 13-year-old British boy may open on live television the envelope containing DNA test results that prove whether or not he is the father of a week-old baby girl.
Publicist Max Clifford, who is representing Alfie Patten and his family, said the schoolboy from Sussex is taking the DNA paternity test "as soon as possible".
The Pattens reportedly have been bombarded with offers of more than A$110,000 from television studios keen to exploit the story of Alfie and his 15-year-old girlfriend Chantelle Steadman.
The young parents are even considering one offer for Alfie to share news of the DNA results with a national audience.
Chantelle said Alfie was just 12 when she told him they were expecting a baby.
Last week she gave birth to a girl, Maisie, amid intense media scrutiny — which was compounded when two other teenage boys claimed they could be the father.
She has rejected claims he did not father her child, publicly declaring "I lost my virginity to him".
"We decided to start a physical relationship because we love each other. There has been no one else. Other stupid boys are lying," she was quoted as saying in The Sun.
Since the birth, Alfie has been a doting father who can’t bear to be separated from his daughter, welfare workers say.
Matters were complicated when Tyler Barker, 14, and Richard Goodsell, 16, came forward with claims they had also slept with Chantelle and could have fathered the baby.
Since then, four more boys claiming they had slept with Chantelle have also come forward.
Even Chantelle's mother Penny Steadman has said her daughter has slept with other boys.
The teen mum and her baby are in hiding with Mrs Steadman, who says they are desperate to escape cruel gossip.
"We don't want to go back until Chantelle feels she can take the baby out in its pram without people shouting things at her," Mrs Steadman said.
"The sooner [the DNA test] is done, the sooner Chantelle and Alfie can get on with being parents."
