Jeremy McConnell has made an on-air apology to Stephanie Davis's boyfriend Sam Reece.

Speaking on ITV's This Morning today, the evicted housemate admitted that it's not a great position for Sam to be in.

"The circumstances, obviously I wouldn't like to be in that position nor would anybody," he told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

"I'd like to think I have integrity. But to Sam, I'm sorry how it worked out."

Jeremy and Stephanie had grown attached to each other in the house, to the point where they started kissing and exchanging 'I love you's.

The Irish model previously told Digital Spy and other reporters that Stephanie had found "something better" than Sam.

"I 100% think if their relationship was stronger, nothing would have happened," he said. "Darren Day has a wife and Tiffany coming onto him - it's strong enough for him to back away.

​"Obviously there were was chinks in the chain, and deep down she wasn't happy with him and she found something better."​

Celebrity Big Brother airs nightly on Channel 5.

Pretty disgusting apology though to say on the one hand you're sorry but on the other "she found someone better" :/

Well he has made his apologies ....and she did find someone better, on that point I agree with him ...Jeremy reinforcing that to people will part explain her choices and her actions, help people to understand a bit better ....maybe that's why he's doing that.......I think he will def be campaigning on her behalf to change some people's perception of her....he may be saying it just to arrogant and thumb his nose at the guy but he's not given the impression so far that he is like that

Agreed with Niamh & Jake. But I really don't care about any of them.

I don't approve of cheating at all, but in general I think Jeremy does come across as a likeable bloke.

He clearly felt embarrassed, guilty and nervous when he left the house and during his interviews. His embarrassment and awkwardness does make me think he feels bad about what has happened, whereas if he was arrogant, he wouldn't have looked so uncomfortable. I also get the impression he is genuine when he says he has completely fallen for Steph.

In his defence, he doesn't say she found someone better, but SOMETHING better; he does this after revealing that the relationship she was in had some problems. Therefore, the 'something better' is the relationship, rather than himself i.e. He will treat her better in a relationship than Sam did.

If he was talking about himself being better, that would be arrogant, but it is different altogether if he is talking about the relationship.
