Stephanie has grown close to Jeremy in 'CBB'
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star has confessed her romantic feelings towards him, and the pair have been continuously flirting on the show.
"I can't confirm that that is true. I believe that is very untrue,” she told Radio 1.
"[Stephanie and Jeremy have] both been housemates, and I think to put in someone's boyfriend that's been watching the whole carry-on... as much as it's kind of compulsory TV for people that are ‘Big Brother’ fans and love that kind of thing, it would also be slightly inappropriate.
"Even we have boundaries, believe it or not."
Stephanie is one of seven housemates currently facing eviction, with bookies currently marking her as the favourite to leave.
‘Celebrity Big Brother’ airs tonight at 9pm and 10.30pm on Channel 5.
