Stephanie Davis planning pop career with ‘heartbreak ballads’

Stephanie Davis is planning to launch a career as a pop star and will write some "massive heartbreak ballads" later this year following her shock reunion with her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell.
The 23-year-old star has just rekindled her romance with the heavily-inked heartthrob after a paternity test recently revealed he is the father of her seven-week-old son Caben-Albi and she is keen to draw on the emotional journey she’s experienced over the past 12 months since they met in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ to record an album.
A source told The Sun Online: "Stephanie is the happiest she has been in months and can’t wait to get in the studio and write some massive heartbreak ballads, these tracks could be explosive."
Stephanie may have made a name for herself portraying bolshie teenage mother Sinead O’Connor in the Channel 4 soap ‘Hollyoaks’ but the brunette beauty has always had a passion for music.
She tried her luck on ‘The X Factor’ when she was 14 but only managed to make it through to bootcamp. However, she got her big break in 2010 when she took part in BBC talent show ‘Over the Rainbow’ which was held to find an actress to play the role of Dorothy Gale in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 2011 stage production of the 1939 film ‘The Wizard of Oz’.
A source explained: "She thinks her controversial exit from ‘Hollyoaks’ was a sign that she now has to pursue her real dream. When it comes to music, she has a lot of confidence. Simon [Cowell] begged her as a teen to come back and audition another year on ‘The X Factor’, but she never did.
"But now feels like the right time. She’s been in the studio secretly working on material which she thinks will surprise people. It’s very dance-y and has an Ibiza-style vibe to it."
As well as slaving away in the recording studio, Stephanie is juggling life as a new mother but, luckily, she now has Jeremy – who has now moved to Liverpool – by her side to help with parenthood.
The pair dated last year after they met in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house while competing in the January series, but they split in May following a series of rows.
Stephanie then found out she was pregnant but the 27-year-old heartthrob refused to believe he was the father of the then-unborn tot and branded her an attention seeker.
Once the baby was born, Jeremy requested a paternity test and was relieved to find out three weeks ago that Caben does in fact belong to him.
