The 24-year-old actress has had somewhat of a difficult time recently after her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell, with whom she has nine-month-old son Caben-Albi, was found guilty of assaulting her at her home in Liverpool earlier this year.

But it looks like the brunette beauty is ready to move on and find love again as she and the former 'The Only Way is Essex' star have set tongues wagging after they posted a series of love heart emojis on one each other's photographs online.

The former 'Hollyoaks' star - who is currently on holiday in Sweden - then fuelled even more speculation when she seemingly hinted at a new relationship on Twitter.

She wrote recently: "Wow, god works in mysterious ways and what's just happened is FATE! So weird! Someone is watching, (sic)" followed by a heart and praying emoji.

Stephanie's new romance comes just months after she called time on her turbulent relationship with Jeremy following 18 months of on/off dating.

The pair met and fell in love in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house last January but following a series of blazing rows, they decided to end their romance in May 2016.

The aspiring singer then found out she was pregnant with Caben a few weeks later but Jeremy, 28, refused to believe he was the father until a paternity test, carried out four weeks after the little one was born, revealed he was the biological dad.

The pair then decided to give their relationship another go for the sake of Caben but things came crashing down once again when Jeremy started hitting the bottle.

Jeremy was then arrested in March when he reportedly lashed out at the brunette babe and "threw her around like a rag doll" because he thought she was having an affair with her pregnant best friend and a fireman from across the road.

Jeremy - who has been into rehab twice for drug and alcohol addictions - was later found guilty of battery and handed a 12-month suspended sentence.

The Irish hunk was also banned from seeing or speaking to Stephanie for three years and any contact regarding their baby Caben would have to be made via social services, solicitors or the family court.
