The reality star also praised Steph Davis for “doing so well on her own with baby Caben”.

Before starting his journey to better himself in rehab Jez shared a long message confessing to his “mistakes” over the past year.

Writing to his 397K Twitter followers the Celebrity Big Brother star said: “I want to leave this last message here for people.

“I know a lot people are sick of reading stories in the press about me and my life and have a huge dislike for me.”

“I have learnt from my mistakes. I’ve decided to take appropriate action for myself,” he added.

Meanwhile Hollyoaks star Steph shared an amusing video of Jez changing little Caben’s dirty nappy.

In the footage Jez can been seen gagging before having to get up and walk away.

Steph can be heard laughing hysterically while adorable Caben lies happily on his matt.
