Steph's powerful publication comes one year after her return to the screens following the break-up of her relationship with Celebrity Big Brother co-star Jeremy McConnell.

The couple met in the legendary house and then welcomed his son Caben-Albi together, but their relationship quickly turned sour.

In 2017, the Irish model Jeremy was found guilty of attacking Steph at their home in Merseyside while she was holding their eight-week-old son.

Jeremy, who had denied the attack in court, was sentenced to a 20-week suspended sentence of imprisonment and had to do 200 hours of collective work, pay £ 1,000 to Steph in compensation and follow a course of strengthening relations with the probation service.

He was also forbidden to contact his mother or aunt for three years under a strict prohibition order.

Steph was pregnant with a second child but had miscarried, showing the stress of the case.

Crying over the Jeremy Kyle Show's incident, reality TV said, "I'm not abusive towards women. It was an incident that happened. I was convicted of a crime and did my punishments. "
