Jeremy McConnell feels guilty about his fling with Stephanie Davis.
The Irish model became involved with the former ‘Hollyoaks’ actress on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, even though she has a boyfriend Sam Reece and Jeremy admitted that he just couldn’t help himself.
Speaking after his eviction on Friday (29.01.16), Jeremy said: "Obviously I like to think I’m a respectful lad, but I understand what her fella must be going through.
"I know [I should’ve left it]. I can’t explain how I feel inside. It’s what I felt and I went with it.
"I hold my hands up; it was both of us. It’s a really tough situation. It’s terrible. It’s just the way it is. I’d be gutted if I was in his position."
However, Jeremy also revealed that he believes he and Stephanie need some "breathing space" from each other and won’t be rushing into a relationship.
He said: "I need my breathing space; she needs her space. But we’ll see what happens. She needs time to reflect and be single."
When shown footage of some of their steamy exploits, including one clip in which it has been speculated they had sex, Jeremy would only say: "That looks… I thought that was one of Hugh Hefner’s scenes. But that’s what we felt for each. I can’t elaborate on that. It is what it is."
