The former Hollyoaks star remains in custody after she was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm at the Royal Chace Hotel in Enfield.

Police confirmed in a statement to The Sun Online that a 24-year-old woman was taken in for questioning and the alleged victim was treated for injuries at the scene.

Jez has now been pictured leaving the building for the first time since Steph's dramatic arrest.

He was seen with what appeared to be bruises on his face as he made his way out of the hotel and jumped into a waiting car.

The Irish hunk wore jeans and a hooded jacket as he talked on the phone while leaving.

He is believed to be on his way to the airport to jet out of London following the drama.

She has been staying at the hotel in Enfield while she is in the capital filming Big Brother's Bit On The Side.

Steph recently put her problems aside by jetting off on a holiday to Tenerife.

She was seen soaking up the sun in the Spanish island resort just days after Jeremy fell off the wagon and was pictured sleeping on a park bench after a night out.

Jeremy went on a drinking bender after vowing to quit booze for the sake of their young son Caben-Albi.

He was seen “sleeping on park bench” after The Sun Online revealed he’d starting boozing again.

An onlooker said Jeremy “looked dirty and dishevelled, and reeked of booze.”

Tragically his boozing comes just days after troubled Jeremy gave The Sun Online his first interview since entering rehab in March and two weeks after his devastating relapse – vowing to never drink again.

He said: "I felt massively terrible [about my relapse]. It's the last time I ever lift a drink again.

"I was two-and-a-half months sober, which for me was a massive achievement in my sobriety.

"That won't happen again, I will never forget the first time I saw my son and Stephanie after our time apart.”

The pair embarked on a turbulent romance after falling for each other during their stint in Celebrity Big Brother last year.

They later broke up and Steph confirmed she was expecting a baby but Jez distanced himself from his former lover and insisted he wasn't the father.

She gave birth in January, and later revived her romance with Jez as they put the bad blood behind them to try again once more.

But the reunion has been far from smooth as they split again this year, but recently got back together again.

Steph and Jeremy's representatives declined to comment.
