But Nick Endacott-Gibb, 57, insists he was conceived around two years before Lulu and Maurice’s romance began.
He told the Mirror : “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!”
Hove-based Nick was adopted from a children’s home at 18 months old by secretary Peggy and her chartered quantity surveyor husband David.
Nick’s biological mum is former music studio manager Patti Nolder, who he met for the first time in 2003 after uploading his details onto the Missing You database — a long-running message board style online community that helps reunite families.
Initially, she told him his dad was Chris Andrews, guitarist and vocalist of 60s psych-pop band The Fleur de Lys, but a DNA test confirmed this was not the case.
It was Patti’s sister who threw Maurice’s name into the mix and, after uploading his DNA to an ancestry website, he matched 100 per cent with Maurice’s other son Adam, who had uploaded his own DNA.
Further matches with cousins of the Gibb brothers followed and Nick struck up a close relationship with their older sister Lesley and her daughter Debbie, who live in New South Wales, Australia.
Nick never got the chance to meet Maurice before his death from a heart attack in 2003, but he said: “I’m sad he died before I got the chance to meet him, but his memory lives on in the songs.”
was married to for six years, with their officially ending in 1975. They never had children together.
She admitted the news of Nick’s existence came as a complete surprise decades after their relationship ended.
Louis said: “You know, we’re not always our best selves and that Maurice, I think it’s openly acknowledged now, had a fling with while he was with you.”

Lulu admitted: “I think he’s got a son. It might have happened when we were married.”
She continued: “I just found out someone showed me something with a guy, and I can’t remember the year he impregnated this girl after a one-night stand, and she has a son who has had his genes taken.
“It’s proven he’s 100 per cent Maurice.”
A shocked Louis asked: “While he was with you?”
Lulu answered: “I didn’t do the math because it wasn’t that important.”
Louis replied: “Why isn’t it important?”
Lulu responded: “Today, c’est la vie.”
