Jake Windass (formerly Joe McIntyre) is the son of Gary Windass and Izzy Armstrong. He was carried by surrogate mother Tina McIntyre, who delivered him eight weeks early after going into labour prematurely. Soon afterwards, Jake developed an infection in his intestine but recovered after surgery. Tina became attached to the child and wanted to keep him, renaming him Joe McIntyre after her late father, but eventually agreed to hand him over to Gary and Izzy who changed his name back to Jake.
