Jeremy McConnell AXED from latest TV show

But now MTV have withdrawn their offer after Jeremy was arrested on suspicion of assault.

Steph and Jeremy met on Celebrity Big Brother last year, but their tumultuous relationship came to an end with Steph revealing she was pregnant with their first child.

She gave birth to little Caben-Albi in January and since a DNA test proved he was Caben’s dad, Steph and Jeremy have reportedly been trying to make things work.

Steph has posted numerous adorable pictures of her first-time motherhood to social media, and it seems she couldn’t be happier to be a mum.

Jeremy was hit by a huge blow earlier month when his father died following a short battle with cancer. Steph later revealed in an interview with OK! Magazine that she’d been the one to break the news to him.

The pair seemed to be getting along better as Steph accompanied him to his dad’s funeral and Jeremy moved to Liverpool to be near his son.

But then news emerged that Jez had been arrested for assault after she’d called the police to her home.

And now Ex On The Beach have dropped him from their new line up.

A source told The Sun Online:  “MTV bosses wanted to get Jeremy on board for years and finally managed to sign him up.

“But his legal troubles have left them no choice but to axe him from the cast.

“The show will now go ahead without him.”

The series will also feature Steph’s other ex, Sam Reece, who she cheated on with Jeremy when she was in the CBB house. Producers had hoped a showdown between the two guys would be a ratings winner.

Since his arrest, Jeremy is said to be fully cooperating with the police, but denies any wrong-doing.

And fans are now speculating that a reunion is on the cards for the pair after Steph shared a picture of a massive bunch of red roses to her Instagram followers on Mother’s Day.

She didn’t leave a comment alongside them, just a rose emoji, but fans have since been sure Jeremy bought them for her and things are back on.

Whatever’s going on, we hope they can figure it all out amicably for the sake of little Caben.
