Jeremy McConnell feels guilty over his flirtatious behaviour with Stephanie Davis in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The Irish model, who was evicted on the show last night, kissed the former Hollyoaks actress even though she had a boyfriend, Sam Reece, on the outside.
Jeremy was quizzed about his relationship with Stephanie but series host Emma Willis after he walked out of the house.
When asked how he felt about the situation, he 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 have 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, despite growing close to Stephanie on the show, Jeremy does not want to pursue any romance at the moment.
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.”
