Stephanie Davis reveals terrifying moment Caben-Albi was rushed to hospital after struggling to breathe and turning blue – before finally coming face to face with emotional Jeremy McConnell in A&E

STEPHANIE Davis has broken her silence on baby Caben-Albi's terrifying hospital scare, revealing he "turned blue" as he struggled to breathe.

The former Hollyoaks star came face to face with her ex Jeremy McConnell for the first time after rushing their baby son to hospital, and has admitted she felt "so nervous" before their long-awaited reunion.

Speaking for the first time about the horrifying moment Caben-Albi began to struggle to breathe, Steph told : "The day before Jeremy met him, I was at home with my mum and aunt and Caben was struggling to breathe and held his breath for a few seconds, which was quite scary.

"He turned a little bit blue round his nose and mouth for a few seconds due to having a blocked nose."

Steph revealed Caben has suffered from a blocked nose ever since he was born, but this time it got a lot worse.

"I scooped him up in my arms and we rushed him to hospital. As soon as we got to A&E the doctors immediately stuck tubes up his nose to relieve his passageways and admitted him to the ward," she added.

The same day, Steph finally came face to face with her ex Jeremy, as he rushed to meet his son in hospital.

The actress admitted she was "bricking it" waiting for him to arrive, and felt "all over the place".

Describing the moment Jez came face to face with his son for the first time, Steph admitted he "welled up" and she immediately hugged him, putting their differences aside.

The pair eventually ended up discussing their past differences, and Jeremy apologised for ever denying he was Caben's father.

The former couple slept at the hospital together to be close to their son, and doctors have now revealed their hopes that Caben will eventually "grow out of" his blocked up nose problem.

Steph added: "I've been absolutely beside myself. I'm barely sleeping because I'm worrying about him all the time - I'm completely drained."

Jeremy has remained by Caben's side ever since, and shared a sweet snap of him doting on his son this weekend.

The adorable picture comes just days after the reality star attended his father's funeral in Dublin with Stephanie.

The adorable picture shows Caben dressed in a light blue baby grow as he smiles up at dad Jeremy who can't take his eyes off the newborn.

He simply captioned it: "❤👊".

Stephanie gave birth to baby Caben on January 13.
