Stephanie Davis’ joy as Jeremy McConnell ‘sorts himself out’ for the sake of their relationship and their baby son Caben-Albi

STEPHANIE Davis has shared her delight that on-off boyfriend Jeremy McConnell is taking some time to sort his life out.

The ex-Hollyoaks actress – who was sacked from the teen soap for turning up to work drunk – this morning told fans that her baby’s father was making some big changes to his life for the sake of his small family.

She tweeted: “Today is the day. I’m so proud of you for finally doing this. Do it for me and Caben but most importantly… Do it for your self.

“I know you got this now.Say goodbye to your demons &start a new lease of life with happiness.I have every faith in you.”

Yesterday Jeremy told fans that he had been caught “in a downward spiral” and had “decided to take the appropriate action for myself and my new family.”

His brave statement was liked over 3,000 times, including by Steph, 24.

She also liked fans’ comments praising Jeremy for taking time to be his best self for the sake of Steph and baby Caben-Albi.

One comment that got Steph’s thumb tapping the ‘like’ icon was, “Fair play to you..just think of @Stephdavis77 and your gorgeous little boy caben..A loving family just waiting for you.”

Another said: “Honest to God. This is the most genuine and honest things what you said. Im proud of you. Good luck to you @Stephdavis77 and beautiful Caben.”

She also liked: “Good luck to you. You have people worth fighting for now. @JezzaMcConnell @Stephdavis77.”

Steph’s sudden support for Jez comes days after a surprise interview with OK! Magazine about not letting him have access to Caben until he was in a better mental state.

She told : “Jeremy knows that he is 100% in the wrong. And he has done things that aren’t good. But he isn’t a bad person, deep down, he’s not an evil vindictive person.”

The actress believes sometimes people “hurt the people they love”, and admitted it’s not “mentally right” – but believes Jeremy has done it because he’s “totally in despair”.

Steph has now banned Jeremy from seeing Caben until he “proves himself”, and concluded: “For Jeremy this is get help or die situation. So I said to him, you either get help or that’s it, you lose him for good.”

Last month, Stephanie reported Jeremy to the police for allegedly assaulting her at her Liverpool home.

She also accused him of messaging other women he had been intimate with on social media just last week.
