Jeremy McConnell rocked by another death

Shock news comes days after his father was buried

What a week it’s been in the messy lives of Jeremy McConnell and Stephanie Davis.

Just as we thought the warring pair were now friends again, it has been reported that they have both been heard screaming at each other like banshees at Steph’s home.

Not only that, she very publicly unfollowed Jeremy from Twitter before posting on Snapchat a picture of her bruised legs.

Now, as people begin to lose sympathy with them, it has been reported that Jeremy has suffered another tragic loss of a family member.

Just days after his father succumbed to cancer, he has been rocked by the news that an elderly aunt has passed too.

“Jeremy lost his auntie on Friday – she was an old lady but it’s still come as a massive shock,” a source told The Sun.

“He’s barely had time to grieve the loss of his dad before having to come to terms with another death in his family.

“He is doing everything he can to remain strong but it’s not easy given the horrific circumstances.”

This week Stephanie told OK! how she had had to inform Jeremy that his father, Eugene Cooke, had died.

“I was the one who had to tell him,” she told the magazine. “Jeremy’s phone is broken so his sister called me to let me know what had happened.

“Jeremy was due to come over to mine so when he got there I asked him to sit down, but he could tell just by looking at me what had happened. It was one of the worst things I have had to tell someone in my life.”

She added: “He was very close to his dad so it’s hit him hard. It’s been heartbreaking but he’s managed to stay remarkably strong. Sadly, his dad never got to meet Caben, which is devastating as I know how much he was looking forward to meeting him.”

Stephanie accompanied him to the funeral, which took place last week, and some critics lashed out at the pair for laughing and smiling.

But Steph was fast to respond to the accusations.

“The day was a celebration of his dad’s life. Of course there were happy moments as well as sad moments. It was nice to catch up with Jeremy’s family too.”

Jeremy has been rocked by death throughout his life, losing his mum, brother, and step-sister at various stages of his life.
