Stephanie appeared on Loose Women to open up and hit back at the “trolls” she faces everyday.
Discussing Jeremy’s claim that he is not the father of the unborn child, Steph said “I spoke to Jeremy and tried to tell him, he is 100% the father, he knows that”.
She said: ” At one point I got certain phone calls and completely broke down and was on my hands and knees and I couldn’t take anymore.
Keep the pregnancy snaps coming, Steph! Or at least, that’s what I took from what she said on the show yesterday afternoon. I honestly thought this isn’t fair to bring in a baby to something toxic’. “I thought he was going to save me from my past but he turned out to be just the same”, she told viewers.
She said he “needs to get help” before he can be involved in their baby’s life, after she announced she was expecting earlier this year after a very public split with Jeremy.
“I thought he was the one to save me from this. I’ve asked him to do a DNA test”.
He then added that the reason he has questioned if he is the father of Steph’s baby is because he had seen photos posted online of her in bed with other guys. “He already knew I was pregnant”.
She explained: “I think Jeremy has made it very, very clear where he stands in this situation”.
Meanwhile, although she wants her former lover to be involved in their baby’s life when it’s born early next year, the 23-year-old actress is adamant she won’t let Jeremy anywhere near the little one until he’s sought help from rehab and proved himself to her and his anxious family. I never would have got pregnant thinking I was going to do it alone and in these circumstances.
And, despite having a child together, the actress has no plans to rekindle her romance with Jeremy any time soon and believes she had a “lucky escape”.
“I don’t understand how someone can go from saying they love me to not wanting anything to do with me”. My priorities have changed. “I’m so glad I found out the man he really is… lucky escape!”
