Stephanie recently denied reports that she is ‘extremely upset’ following McConnell’s release from prison after serving 34 days behind bars for missing community service.
In a message shared on Twitter via her representatives, she wrote: ‘A source close to Steph denied she was upset and said: “She has no thoughts or feelings regarding him and has not made any such comment to anyone so whoever has said that is untrue”’.
McConnell, who had an 18-week suspended sentence activated after breaching the 200-hour community service handed to him for assaulting Stephanie, is said to be in ‘good spirits’ and has even commented on ‘s**t prison food’.

The Irish model had been given the suspended sentence after a high-profile trial where he was found guilty of attacking Stephanie at her home in Rainhill, Merseyside in March.
During proceedings in August, a judge said Jeremy had shown no remorse for the attack on his ex-girlfriend or the impact it must have had on their son, Caben.
He then missed eight work appointments in the 200-hour order and the court activated the sentence for failing to comply with his punishment.
Sentencing him at Liverpool Magistrates Court, District Judge Wendy Lloyd said she tried to rehabilitate McConnell with a suspended sentence to protect women from future violence.
She added: ‘Your enthusiasm for co-operation has been short lived and there’s nothing to show in the future things will change. ‘
