Jeremy McConnell’s boozy Thailand holiday defended by friends… while Stephanie Davis goes in to labour
Model 'deserves the break' and should be left to relax say pals
JEREMY McConnell's trip to Thailand shouldn't be such a big deal "as he's got no ties" claim friends of the reality star.
The 26-year-old is currently enjoying a boozy holiday with his mates, but fans of his ex-girlfriend Stephanie Davis think he should be at home .
However, it seems that Jezza's friendship circle have the same mindset as him - it's not his child and not his problem.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun online, one said: "Jeremy is simply having a well deserved holiday in Thailand with his pals.
"I'm not sure why he's getting so much grief for posting a selfie of him having a drink.
"He's young free and single with no ties.
"But of course if the baby is his then I'm sure he's going to support Steph and the boy."
The comments are sure to infuriate Steph's loyal fans, who believe her claims that her son is 100 percent his.
'Jephanie' fell in love when they competed on Celebrity Big Brother last year, with millions of viewers watching them fall in love in the Elstree house.
Steph and Jez got together while filming Celebrity Big Brother in January, and their romance became a national talking point.
Stephanie - sacked from Hollyoaks for turning up to work drunk - was in a relationship with male model Sam Reece when she entered the house, but promptly cheated on him with Jez.
Their loved-up antics infuriated their housemates - who also saw red when they began being intimate in the shared bedroom.
One night the couple were seen getting hot and heavy under the covers, prompting other housemates to leave the bedroom due to their loud moans.
A Channel 5 insider told The Sun: "We haven't got infra red cameras so we can't tell for sure, but they were definitely doing more than kissing."
Upon leaving the house they struggled to stay together before eventually splitting, with Steph's jealousy issues and Jez's philandering at the heart of many boozy rows.
The pair finally split with an EPIC Twitter spat, with each side throwing outrageous accusations about drug use and sex work at the other.
Jeremy later rubbished Steph's claims that he was the father of her baby - claiming that she had said she had her period after they broke up, making it a biological impossibility.
In an explosive interview with Ireland's TV NOW magazine, the Celebrity Big Brother star revealed why he's convinced that he is not a father-to-be.
He said: "Look, if she is pregnant it's not my kid.
"It was a known thing that we spoke about after we broke up, that she came on.
"She had her period. We had been broken up."
Jeremy also took a couple of sly aims at his fragile ex when the mag quizzed him about his stint in CBB.
When asked who his dream housemates would be, he didn't mention his ex-girlfriend.
He said: "Probably Megan Fox - she'd be nice to look at when things get boring.
"If I could get David Gest back, I'd have him in there all day long.
"I love him. He was a great man. I absolutely love him."
And when he was asked if he was still in touch with any of his former housemates, he said that he "was in touch with Steph", hinting that their relationship in real life is just as damaged as it appears to be online.
He said: "I get on with everyone in that house, but I think my downfall was being in that relationship.
"People were getting sick of it.
"Relationship wise, I was very close to everyone."

He also told the magazine that he was so confident her baby isn't his, he'd take a DNA test.
"If I was a dad, I’d be 100 percent no, 110 percent, the best dad in the world," he said.
"But you’ll see in the future that it’s not my kid, and she’ll look like a mug."
Steph told her fans that Jeremy - who she claims has a "serious cocaine problem" had cancelled on pre-natal medical appointments and had been arguing with her, leaving her needing hospital treatment for stress.
She wrote: "I think it’s disgusting that Jeremy hasn’t turned up to scans and is constantly drunk and partying, the stress he has me under I’ve already been in hospital once with pains and stress.
“I don’t hate the lad I feel very VERY sorry him the fact that no one is getting him the help he needs.
"His manager should have him rehab and sorting his life out so he can be there for his child before he dies.”
Yesterday it was revealed that the actress had gone in to labour, just days after Jeremy flew off for a hedonistic trip with his mates.
Steph first revealed she was pregnant in a quickly deleted comment on one of her ex's Instagram posts.
