This angered Chris and he became aggressive towards Debbie resulting in her moving in with the Dingles.<\/p>\n<h2>Teenage pregnancy<\/h2>\n<p>Debbie started a secret relationship with Andy Sugden and lost her virginity to him in 2004. Debbie later discovered she was pregnant at just 15 years old. She hid the pregnancy from everyone and planned to abandon the baby after giving birth.<\/p>\n<p>However, after giving birth in a shed, assisted by Emily and Daz, Debbie had a change of heart. But she didn\u2019t initially take to motherhood and constantly left daughter Sarah with Emily.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Later that year, Debbie shocked her family when she gave Sarah to Emily, who was leaving the area.

But, in order to hurt his daughter, Cain seduced Jasmine, who was confused about her sexuality, resulting in Debbie and Jasmine breaking up.<\/p>\n<p>They later reconciled and Debbie got her revenge on Cain by telling him that Jasmine had had an abortion.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Debbie was also involved in the killing of Jasmine\u2019s boyfriend Shane Doyle.
