He also joked that he had a love-hate relationship with the tot, Swansea crown court heard.

Lola died of a brain injury after an alleged “frenzied” attack at home.

Bevan claimed she fell off a ladder and the dog pushed her down stairs.

When police sealed off their Haverfordwest home as a crime scene in July 2020, Bevan texted: “How are we going to go to sleep and chill?”.

He denies murder.

James denies causing or allowing the death of a child.

Trial continues.
