Stephanie Davis has shared a photo of herself cuddling with baby son Caben amid the latest drama with her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell.

The former Hollyoaks and Celebrity Big Brother star, 23, uploaded the peaceful image to Instagram on Saturday, showing little Caben, seven months, snoozing in her arms.

Steph – whose face remains hidden from the camera – captioned the pic: “Most beautiful thing I ever did see. Milk and cuddles fast asleep on Mummy. My happy place. Best thing in the whole world.”

The soothing picture is a far cry from recent headlines involving Steph and her ex Jeremy, 27, who is Caben’s dad.

Stephanie was arrested on suspicion of assault following an alleged altercation with Jeremy at a London hotel on July 2, where Steph was staying ahead of an appearance on Big Brother’s Bit On The Side.

The soap star was taken to hospital after becoming unwell during questioning and later released on bail.

Jeremy is alleged to have suffered a broken nose, fractured eye socket and concussion in the incident, while Stephanie was allegedly left with five broken ribs and a scratched face.

Then, the tale took an unexpected twist when Jeremy alleged in several interviews that Stephanie is pregnant with their second child.

Jeremy told MailOnline: “She told me that she was pregnant. I was pretty shocked as it wasn’t planned, but to be honest I was excited.

“She told me that she was going to have a scan at the hospital later that afternoon. The pregnancy was not planned and given our history together took me by surprise.

“I was pleased, but still in a bit of a shock.”

Jeremy flew back to Ireland following the alleged altercation with Steph, and was then seen out on the town with ex Love Island hopeful Shannen Reilly.

Stephanie then went on a Twitter rant after seeing the photos of Jez and Shannen together, alleging – among many things – that Jeremy had never paid child maintenance for Caben and lived with her rent free.

He has not responded to her claims.

Then, things took another dramatic turn overnight, when it was alleged the couple were involved in a second row three days before Steph was arrested.

A police statement said: “Police were called at 02:49hrs on 29 June to a disturbance between a man and a woman at the Hotel Alto in Ilford Hill, Ilford.

“Officers attended the location. No criminal allegations were made.”
