The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star feared she would face a very awkward conversation with her partner over her relationship with Jeremy McConnell Cooke, after news of the Big Brother's latest twist was revealed to the housemates.

While the majority of the residence celebrated the news, Stephanie was not at all enthused at the announcement, telling the others miserably: "It will either be me mum, me dad or Sam that calls."
However, Sam clearly didn't take the opportunity to speak to Stephanie, as it was her father who was on the end of the phone, when she received her call.
It is currently unknown what was said during the call, but she appeared highly emotional after speaking to her dad.

Stephanie broke down during the call
In recent days, Stephanie has admitted that she wants to dump Sam upon her exit from the house, telling her fellow housemates: “[This experience] has made me realise what I’m worth and that I need to be single.”
It was previously rumoured that Sam could enter the house to confront Stephanie over her feelings for Jeremy, after he publicly withdrew his support for her.
Sam appeared on Channel 4 dating show ‘First Dates’ in 2015, when he was matched with Kathleen Stevens, and it looked like the pair hadn't hit it off. However, while Sam admitted that he wasn’t romantically interested in Kathleen, he later claimed that the show was edited to make it look like they didn’t get on. “I thought she was a lovely girl and we had a really good laugh, it was just really heavily edited,” he told Heat magazine. “I feel like I’ve been made out to be like a stereotypical model, which I’m not.” (credit:Channel 4)

After Sam appeared on ‘First Dates’, he received death threats for asking his date to pay half the bill, when it became clear a second card wasn’t on the cards. "I couldn’t believe some of the reaction from people on Twitter,” he told The Mirror. “I had death threats, one person said that the next time I come out in Manchester I’m dead." Defending his decision, he added: “It was a really expensive meal, like £350, and I knew I wasn’t going to see her again, so what’s wrong with asking her to split the bill?” (credit:Channel 4)

Before he started dating Stephanie, it seems that Sam was a bit of a lothario, boasting many notches on his bedpost. He said in an interview with The Sun in March 2015: “I have absolutely no idea about the amount of women I’ve slept with, I can’t remember. We are well beyond that.” (credit:Instagram)

Before Stephanie entered the ‘Big Brother’ house, she shared a little too much information about just how close her and Sam were. “Even if I go for a poo, we speak to each other – there are no boundaries,” she said, like it was something to brag about. Ew. (credit:Instagram)
