Stephanie Davis Hits Back At Ex

Stephanie Davis has slammed her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell after he appeared on television to criticise her. McConnell also took a paternity test live on TV to discover if he is the father of Davis' newborn son, Caben-Albi.

Appearing on ITV's This Morning on Wednesday, McConnell accused his former partner of "manipulating the public against him", adding: "I'm upset. She's puppeteering the public."

McConnell also said that 23-year-old Davis wanted him to sign an "unreasonable contract" in order to get the DNA results done. The contents cannot be revealed due to legal reasons, but the Irish model said: "No man in their right mind would sign that. It's disgusting. She's puppeteering the public. I'm sorry, I just can't."

His outburst led host Phillip Schofield to agree, saying: "I've read it and I wouldn't sign it. It would have an impact on your entire life."

Following McConnell's television interview, his ex published a statement on Twitter which read: "Stephanie has felt humiliated by Jeremy denying his own son and foolishly announcing publicly his request for a DNA test.

"Jeremy has caused Stephanie massive amount of stress, pressure and upset throughout her pregnancy, ruining what for most women is one of the most special time of their lives.

"Jeremy has at no point throughout the pregnancy or after the birth been in contact directly with Stephanie. Jeremy was categorically not banned from the birth, nor did he ever ask to attend.

"Stephanie confirmed to Jeremy that she was pregnant 10 days after they split, any suggestion that she was unfaithful to him is to detract away from his numerous infidelities whilst in the relationship.

"Jeremy has been given the option at all times to take part in a DNA test, because of past behaviour Stephanie has requested that this is handled via the correct channels and managed by her solicitor.

"Jeremy to date has continually refused the terms of the agreement that Stephanie has proposed, which he was given the right to make his own amendments to suit him. This confidentiality agreement was made to ensure privacy and protect Caben-Albi.

"Stephanie as a single mother reserves the right to undertake any work she sees fit to provide for their son, her priority.

"It is upsetting to think that Jeremy would stoop so low to challenge the mother of his child to a DNA test live on TV when it was already in hand. This shows how little concern he has for Caben and this is already being dealt with privately."

The statement concluded: "Caben and Stephanie have only been out of hospital for a few weeks, however after spending nine months denying that he is the babies (sic) father, we cannot believe that Jeremy has the audacity to turn the situation around and bring all of this very much into a media circus, on his terms only."

McConnell and Davis met on Celebrity Big Brother in January 2016 when they were both contestants on the reality show. They started a relationship in the house, despite Davis having already dating model Sam Reece at the time.

However, when they left the CBB house, McConnell and Davis broke up and reunited on a number of occasions, before a bitter falling out in April of that year signalled the end of their short-lived romance for good.

Shortly after the couple split, Davis announced she was pregnant with her ex's child, but this was a claim he denied, later suggesting that Davis had been unfaithful.
