Pregnant Stephanie Davis 'signs up to be Loose Women guest panelist and could be set for permanent position on the show'... as she prepares to be a single mum

She was a hit when she appeared on Loose Women earlier this summer to spill the beans about her pregnancy.

And Stephanie Davis is reportedly making a return to the ITV chat show next week - this time as a guest panelist.

The former Hollyoaks and CBB star - who is expecting her first child with her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell - has allegedly signed up to make her first appearance next week, according to The Sun Online.

Show bosses are said to be planning to introduce Stephanie as a regular panelist alongside the likes of Katie Price and Vicky Pattison, should things go to plan.

A source told The Sun Online: 'This is a great opportunity for Stephanie to impress producers, who will be watching her and the reaction from viewers closely.

'If they like her, she could become a permanent fixture.'

Since Loose Women introduced famous faces like Katie as regular members of the panel, viewing figures have risen by 10 per cent.
