‘A kid can’t fix it’: Jeremy McConnell has HIS say on Steph
Whether you love them or hate them, there's no denying that the saga that is Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell has made for some very compelling internet fodder this year.
Having broken up almost once a month since they got together earlier this year, interest in the reality TV couple was starting to dwindle until Stephanie dropped a serious bombshell earlier this week.
Claiming to be pregnant with the Irish model's child, the former Hollyoaks star revealed that she was heartbroken by his lack of interest in the news, and announced that she was taking time out from social media in light of the revelation.
While Instagram and Twitter went into total meltdown over the actress's post, all was quiet in the McConnell camp apart from one cryptic tweet from Jez which read: "The loudest in the room is the weakest."
But with speculation at fever-pitch, Jeremy took to Twitter last night, writing: "First of all I think it's ridiculous this being on social media as it's no one's business, but this is what I've to deal with, and clear my name."
"Just to clear if what is circulating is true, I'll always be responsible for my actions. And I explained to Steph I'll speak to her, and do everything for her if she stops drinking and partying knowing she's 'pregnant'".

"I'm sick of tit for tat but I won't let anyone slander me, I haven't been ideal in the relationship whatsoever, I'm trying to move on peacefully, it's a shock to most, but a kid can't fix a broken relationship."
The backlash to Jeremy's post has been off the charts, with Twitter users weighing in and offering their own thoughts on the situation.
"You are disgusting writing this, you should actually be ashamed," wrote one while another slammed: "He's a p*ssing idiot" Why any lad would treat a girl this way is sickening."
This is definitely going to get worse before it gets better.
