Jeremy McConnell has given his first interview since entering rehab back in March.

The former Big Brother star has been dealing with drug and alcohol addiction as well as the death of his father in recent months.

“The stuff I’ve seen, the stuff I’ve done… I’m surprised I’m not dead with the way I’ve partied,”Jeremy revealed in an interview with The Sun Online.

“Last summer while Stephanie was pregnant, I was getting thousands of pounds to go partying, I was on a footballer’s wage. Week in, week out, I was getting paid £5,000 a night for nightclub PAs – and sometimes I was doing two or three a week.

“When I pick up a drink or put up a tweet it’s self-sabotage, it’s self-harming. When I sense fear I tend to strike out instead of being able to deal with things.”

Jeremy also spoke about his difficult relationship with Stephanie Davis, whom he has a child with, six-month-old Caben Albi.

“I will never forget the first time I saw my son and Stephanie after our time apart. The love I felt for them was overwhelming, that’s your future, that’s your life. We will always have that massive love, she’s the mother of my child.”

Steph gets to see me behind closed doors. She knows the real me.”

“I love her and she has always stood by me. She is my family now,” he added.
