Loose Women viewers got to see a softer side of Stephanie Davis when she appeared on the show to give an emotional interview about her tough couple of months.

The former Hollyoaks star spoke about her future as a single mother, cleared things up about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell and emotionally spoke about the Internet abuse she has received about her unborn child.

Speaking to the panel, Steph revealed she had broken down after receiving phone calls from Jeremy and didn’t believe she was strong enough. She said “I was on my hands and knees. I couldn't take it anymore. I thought he was the one to save me from this. I honestly thought this isn't fair to bring in a baby to something toxic.”

The former CBB contestant also revealed she discovered she was expecting a baby just one week after splitting from Jeremy.

During the interview Steph broke down when she admitted the negative and nasty comments she has received on social media regarding her baby. She said she felt ‘pressured’ into announcing her pregnancy and ‘couldn’t win’ with the press.

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”. When asked if she would like Jeremy to be part of her baby’s life, Steph admitted the Irish model has made his feelings very clear and believes he is completely neglecting his unborn baby.

After the interview aired, viewers of the show took to Twitter to show their support for Stephanie.

After the show, Steph thanked the Loose Women panel for having her and showed off a present she received from the ladies.

Despite the negativity in recent weeks, it seems Steph is now looking to the future and is ‘over the moon’ about her pregnancy.

Just last week she showed off her baby bump for the first time when she posted a snap of her growing bump to her Twitter account.

The actress was then glowing as she arrived at the Loose Women studios in a figure hugging dress.

Steph’s baby is reportedly due in January 2017.
