Irish model Jeremy McConnell has revealed he can see through fellow housemate's Stephanie Davis' flirty behaviour and says he has no intentions to start a relationship with her outside the house.
33-year-old McConnell has been the centre of an ongoing romantic storyline on this year's Celebrity Big Brother. But like all love stories there is a twist, and this one involves his paramour being involved with someone else in the outside world.
It appears that McConnell has finally seen the light and realised that Stephanie Davis has been stringing him along from the beginning. Davis was dating model Sam Reece before she went in the house, and when the other housemates speculated that Reece could join them in the house, Davis announced she still hoped to marry her boyfriend - leaving McConnell open-mouthed.

In the diary room, she said: "My head is mashed. I've just realised everything. Like, I don't want to get upset because I'm sick of getting upset.
"I've missed Sam so much that I've had to block him out completely. Because I wouldn't have got this far. Maybe I've substituted Jez for Sam just because I've missed that contact...
"I don't want to look like a tease, do you know what I mean? Because I'm not like that. I think the world of Jez. But it's like I can't win, because I can't speak about Sam now."
Davis does not know that Reece tweeted on January 11: "Hi everyone, I will no longer be supporting Stephanie Davis ... Thanks for all your support and love you have given me!!"

But a day later he clarified: "I would never end a relationship over text or social media. I want to talk to
Steph face to face."
McConnell was unimpressed with Davis's behaviour, admitting: "I hate drama. I know it's a game. I am
so over it and bored of it. I'm sure you've heard her say 'What are we gonna do on the outside? Are you gonna wait?'
"What the f**** does that mean? If she didn't have any intentions with me and she has a boyfriend, would she say that? Cos I wouldn't."
