The feuding former couple, who had an on-off relationship for four months after meeting on the reality show in 2016, recently became embroiled in a paternity dispute over Steph’s newborn baby Caben-Albi.

However, after it emerged that Jeremy is the father of Steph’s baby boy, the proud parents are said to be back on speaking terms, with all traces of their fallout removed from social media.

“They’re trying to rebuild a civilised relationship for the sake of Caben – they both knew that the situation had to change for things to move forward,” a source told The Sun newspaper.

“It’s going to be a slow process but they’re gradually heading in the right direction.”

In an effort to put their differences behind them, Steph has now re-followed the Irish model on Twitter and Instagram, as Jezza promises to “step up” and support his family.

With so much progress in such a short space of time, a close friend of the pair allegedly claimed that the reality stars might even end up rekindling their former romance.

And in a sudden twist of fate, it was reported last week that Celebrity Big Brother bosses had approached Jeremy and Stephanie (aka Jephanie) for a TV comeback in their summer all-star series.

In fact, the pair are reportedly “top of the wishlist” to join the cast for the special edition of the reality show – called ‘Summer Legends’ – in celebration of its 20th series this year.

A source spilled to the tabloid: “Jeremy really enjoyed Celebrity Big Brother the first time round and would love to be a part of the Summer Legends series.

“A lot has happened since he last appeared on the show between him and Stephanie, but he knows them both joining the line-up would make incredible telly, and he’s keen to keep his profile up.”

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Celebrity Big Brother told the publication: “We never comment on speculation around future housemates.”

In other words, watch this space – Celebrity Big Brother will return to Channel 5 in the summer.
