The 37-year-old actress - who plays Cindy Cunningham in 'Hollyoaks' - and the 38-year-old 'Coronation Street' actress were both in attendance at the British Soap Awards in Manchester last night (16.05.15), but Stephanie - who also recently split with 'The Apprentice' star James Hill - insisted that Kym's split from her fiance earlier this month has nothing do with her.

Stephanie said she only speaks to the 32-year-old fitness trainer for the sake of their four-year-old daughter Lexi, and doesn't understand why her name has been brought up in the break-up.

Stephanie said: "I just speak to Dan about Lexi and that's it. I've no idea how I've got involved in this. I'm really looking forward to tonight and I'll be at the after-party."

When asked by The Sun newspaper, whether she would let her row with Kym ruin her night at the awards, she said: "Hell no!"

Despite Stephanie's insisting that she's over Dan, a source believes her break-up with James was a way of letting him know the two can "give it another shot".

The source said: "It is strange Steph would break up from her boyfriend just as Kym and Dan are having time apart. It's almost like Steph is letting Dan know she still hopes they can give it another shot."
