Stephanie has since moved on from her toxic relationship with Jeremy.
The actress has been back on set of Hollyoaks since last year and is now happily dating her co star Owen Warner.
Following their tumultuous meeting on Celebrity Big Brother, Stephanie and Jeremy both spent time in rehab.
She battled an alcohol issue, while Jeremy had a cocaine addition and problems with domestic violence.
He was handed a 12 month suspended sentence for assaulting Stephanie in 2017.
Jeremy went on to spend 34 days in prison over Christmas that year.
He claims to be sober for 18-months now.
