Jeremy McConnell is set to be grilled on his toxic relationship with ex-girlfriend Stephanie Davis in a one-off special of ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’.
The 28-year-old reality TV star – who spent 34 days in prison last year after he was found guilty of assaulting the actress – has reportedly agreed to appear on the talk show this year and let the tough-talking host interrogate him on his life choices following two turbulent years in the spotlight.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Jeremy is looking forward to filming the show and having the chance to talk about his problems in full.
"The last two years have been chaotic and Jeremy has suffered the loss of several family members while becoming a dad for the first time.
"His on-off relationship with Stephanie hit rock bottom last year and he served time in prison after he breached his community service.
"There is a lot to fit into an hour-long special and Jeremy Kyle will no doubt want Jeremy to face up to his issues and apologise for his wrongdoings."
Jeremy hit the headlines earlier this week when Stephanie – with whom he has 13-month-old son Caben-Albi – claimed he’d crushed a broken bottle in her palm – tearing two tendons in her hand – during a row in 2016.
Stephanie, 24, said: "I yelped out in pain and instinctively threw my hand into the air and as I did so I accidentally caught Jeremy in the face.
"He always bruises easily because of his high cheek bones and he was left with a black eye, which he later posted images of on social media to get attention.
"Meanwhile I’m standing there with blood dripping out my hand, shaking in shock and fright. He’d deliberately broken the glass as I held it and then rubbed the shattered glass into my hand. Two of my fingers on my right hand just fell because he’d cut the tendons.
"I had to wear a cast and a splint afterwards but I used to wear long sleeved tops to cover it so photographers couldn’t see. That was to protect him."
Following five months of on/off dating, the couple – who met in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house – split in May 2016, however, Stephanie later found out she was pregnant with his baby.
The brunette beauty gave birth to Caben-Albi in January 2017 while Jeremy was on a lads’ holiday in Thailand but he flew back almost immediately to find out whether the little one belonged to him.
A paternity test confirmed he was Caben’s father and the pair decided to give their relationship another go for the sake of the little one – but it didn’t take long for things to turn sour again.
Stephanie claimed: "He hit me and then held a corkscrew to his neck. I used to have a default reaction, out of stress more than anything, I’d start laughing nervously and go to the window and wrap myself in the curtain. I didn’t want to look back because I didn’t want to see more blood. I just gazed out of the window.
"Grabbing Caben I ran out of the room and down the corridor but to make me react he pretended to collapse. I didn’t want to go over to him in case he grabbed hold of me like in a horror film."
Jeremy was later found guilty of assault and sentenced to 18 weeks in prison but he was released after just 34 days behind bars and is now determined to get his life back on track.
He’s also got a three-year restraining order against him, meaning he can’t contact Stephanie.
