Steph Davis is ‘still in regular contact with ex Zayn Malik’ and he knows ALL about her baby and feud with ‘dad-to-be’ ex Jeremy McConnell
Former Hollyoaks actress' famous former lover is well up to date with her drama
THE WHOLE world knows about pregnant Stephanie Davis' love life woes - even her former flame Zayn Malik.
According to pals, Steph, 23, is still in contact with the ex One Direction star, who she dated for five months in 2011.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun online, one revealed that they're still friendly.
They revealed: "Steph and Zayn didn't part on bad terms, there's no reason why they wouldn't still be in touch.
"When she went in to CBB in January he was rooting for her, and sent messages of support before she went in the house."
Although he was in the US with new girlfriend Gigi Hadid when Steph entered the legendary Elstree compound, it was previously reported that Zayn had reached out to the troubled actress after she got out.
And, demonstrating that hindsight truly is a wonderful thing, the reported that he had told the pretty brunette - due to give birth to her first baby next month - that he gave Jeremy, 26, a thumbs-up.
Whether he still thinks he's such a great catch is up for debate, as according to the friend he is well aware of what his former flame has been going through (as do the rest of the UK).
The pal added: "They've got a lot of shared friends so they always know what each other is up to one way or another.
"Zayn knows about Steph being pregnant and all the drama she's gone through with Jez."
But it seems that the 1D star can truly sympathise with her - not that he has ever been caught up in jaw-dropping slanging matches for all of Twitter to see, or been at the centre of a 'who's the daddy?' situation.

Referring to the mega spat that saw the reality lovers throw empty accusations of drug use and sex work at one another, the source said: "Zayn's been through a very public break-up too.
"He gets what she's going through."
Of course Zayn's high profile split was with Little Mix star Perrie Edwards - who was the girl behind his and Steph's split.
A rep for Zayn has been approached for comment.
