Who is Stephanie Davis? Jeremy McConnell’s ex girlfriend who suffered a miscarriage after the stress of domestic abuse trial

STEPHANIE Davis hasn't been out of the headlines since her stint on Celebrity Big Brother.

Here is the lowdown on the highs and lows of her turbulent life...

Who is Stephanie Davis, how old is she and what is her background?

Stephanie is a 24-year-old actress who grew up in Liverpool with two younger brothers.

Her first acting role was as Gretel in the Liverpool Empire Theatre's production of The Sound of Music when she eight years old.

She then appeared in a number of minor television roles, including Holby City, Doctors and Parents of the Band.

In 2010 Steph took part in Andrew Lloyd Webber's BBC talent-search show, Over The Rainbow, to battle it out for the part of Dorothy in his production of The Wizard of Oz.

She didn't win, but made it through to the fifth week of the final rounds before being voted off.

How did Stephanie Davis become famous?

After appearing on Over The Rainbow, Hollyoaks producers asked Steph to audition and she landed the part of feisty Sinead O'Connor in the soap.

She played the role for six years before her contract was terminated by producers, with her stating she was fired from the job because she arrived on-set "unfit for work".

Steph denied the claims, and spoke out to slam reports her problems stemmed from booze and her partying antics, and claimed she'd reached "breaking point" over her workload.

After the bad press surrounding her time on the show, she entered Celebrity Big Brother in January 2016.

What is Stephanie Davis' relationship with Jeremy McConnell?

Stephanie and Jeremy have had a very tumultuous on-off relationship.

The pair stepped out of the Celebrity Big Brother house as a couple before they called it quits after a couple of months amid reports of cheating.

They split before Steph announced that she was pregnant with his baby.

Throughout her pregnancy Jeremy denied that he was the father and demanded a paternity test.

After her son, Caben-Albi was born, fans were convinced that he was the spitting image of Jeremy.

He then went on to take a paternity test live on This Morning before later confirming that he was the dad on social media.

In February, The Sun revealed that the pair were back together as they decided to "give romance another go" - but they have been very on-then-off again.

The pair are no longer together

Was Jeremy McConnell found guilty of assaulting Stephanie Davis?

On August 7, 2017, Jeremy was found guilty of battering on/off girlfriend Steph Davis in a cocaine-fuelled row.

Reality star Steph broke down in tears as the judge convicted her former lover of assault, with her mother having recounted in court details of how Jeremy threw her around like a “rag doll” and called her a “s**g” in a violent argument over a sex toy.

It follows an incident at a property in Rainhill, Merseyside, on March 10, 2017.

A judge sentenced McConnell to 20 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months.

It was revealed in February 2018 that Jeremy has found himself under investigation by the police after he was accused of pestering the mother of his child with social media messages.

A Merseyside Police spokesman told The Sun Online: "[We] received an allegation that a restraining order has been breached by a 27-year-old man.

"A report was received on 12 January that the man had contacted a former partner.

"Enquiries are ongoing to establish whether or not the order has been breached and appropriate action will be taken."

Was Stephanie found guilty of attacking Jeremy?

In February 2018, it was revealed that no further action would be taken over an alleged attack by Stephanie on Jeremy.

Davis was arrested on suspicion of GBH in July last year over claims she had attacked the former Celebrity Big Brother star at a North London hotel.

McConnell was pictured with bruising around his face in the hours after the arrest.

But Metropolitan Police have confirmed an investigation into the incident at the Royal Chace Hotel in Enfield on Sunday, July 2 last year has been closed with no charges

A spokeswoman said: "Police in Enfield were called to a hotel in The Ridgeway, EN2 at 23:00hrs on Sunday, 2 July following reports of an assault.

"Officers attended and arrested a 24-year-old woman on suspicion of GBH. She has since been released facing no further action.

"The victim was treated at the scene and did not attend hospital."

At the time police said Davis had been taken to a North London police station after being treated for minor injuries at the scene.

Did Stephanie Davis suffer a miscarriage of her second baby?

The Sun revealed how Steph has suffered a miscarriage following the stress of the Jeremy McConnell court ordeal.

The 24-year-old lost her baby two weeks ago and friends say that knowing she would have to relive the terrifying abuse that Jeremy subjected her to in court, and his constant “taunting” her with other women, is the reason behind her devastating loss.

A close friend told The Sun Online: "Stephanie suffered a miscarriage two weekends ago due to stress.

“Steph is devastated that she has lost her baby. Doctors have said it is down to the pressure and stress she has been under lately.

"Stephanie has been continually taunted by Jeremy, knowing she was pregnant setting up paparazzi pictures on a date.

“He has hurt her again and again. It was never enough just letting her deal with the circumstances she found herself in, she has had to see him publicly parading a new girl around and trying to mess with her head.

“With all that has gone on the baby was what was keeping her positive and focused.”
