Jeremy McConnell is seeking shared custody of the son he shares with Stephanie Davis after claiming he's 'turning his life around.'
After battering Steph in a cocaine-fuelled row last year, Jeremy had been banned from contacting the mother of his child and was handed a three year restraining order by the courts.
Steph has raised Caben-Albi, now one, as a single mum - publicly labelling Jeremy a 'deadbeat dad' in the past.
But now Jeremy, 27, has reignited their long-running feud by claiming Hollyoaks actress Steph is refusing him access.

“It’s extremely upsetting that Stephanie has continually chosen not to engage with my team and follow the appropriate channels to arrange in time access with our son," he told The Sun.
"All I want is for our son to have me back in his life,” he added.

In the past Steph has claimed Jezza hasn't given any financial support to Caben or bothered to see him - even forgetting to send Christmas cards.
During an appearance on The Jeremy Kyle Show in March, a weeping Jezza told the host that he was willing to make a change.
“I want to just move forward now and see my son. I miss and love him – I love him to bits,” he said.

Jeremy was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison in November after breaching the community service order he was given for attacking Steph in March 2017.
He was also given a three-year restraining order by the courts, banning him from contacting the mother of his child.

In June this year the Mirror reported Jeremy was enjoying a new relationship - with his legal representative Katie McCreath.
Despite previously denying they were an item, he was recently pictured sharing drinks with her on a date night.
Shortly afterwards, she took to Instagram where she shared a picture of their hands intimately intertwined.

While Steph has turned her life around since welcoming her son Caben, although she has admitted it's difficult being a single mum.
"It's been hard, in all honesty, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It is hard, but my mum's really good and if I need a break," she told the Mirror Online.

After admitting to seeking treatment for alcohol abuse, Steph is due to start filming Hollyoaks again in August, with her character Sinead O'Connor making a dramatic return.
She left the show in 2015 - amid reports she was sacked for turning up drunk and late to the set, something she has always denied - after her character found out her boyfriend Ste was having an affair with her teenage stepbrother.
Now, she can't wait to get back.
She said: "I can't wait, the amount of messages I've had off cast and crew members.
"They all wanted me to come back, but then I wasn't ready."
