Here’s a big update from the Celebrity Big Brother house: Stephanie Davis has told Jeremy McConnell that she loves him.

The ex-Hollyoaks star has a boyfriend, model Sam Reece, outside the house, but has become very close with McConnell on the reality show.

The pair have been seen cuddling up and kissing, and last week McConnell admitted his true feelings: “We’ll look back on this with like, ‘I fell in love on TV with a bird’. Regardless of what anyone says, that’s what happened with me anyway.”

Now, Davis has returned the sentiment – seemingly unprompted, a cuddle on the sofa led to Davis telling McConnell: “I love you… me love you.”

Evidently pleased at hearing those three magic words, McConnell responded, “love you too”, smiling and kissing Davis on the forehead.

“I didn’t even think of you in that way [when I met you],” he admitted. “Because I was thinking… you know when someone’s off limits they’re off limits.”

McConnell said that he thought it would be evicted housemate Megan McKenna that he would get close to in the show, with Davis remarking that they were actually “complete opposites”.

Towards the beginning of the series, Davis’ boyfriend Sam Reece tweeted that he would no longer be supporting her through her time on the show. He later clarified that he had not officially broken up with her, and would talk to her after she leaves the house.
