The 'Loose Women' panellist arranged to meet the former 'Hollyoaks' star - who was locked in a bitter legal battle with her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell earlier this year -

recently to give her some words of wisdom and encourage her to take some time away from the limelight to focus on herself and her 10-month-old son Caben-Albi.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Katie really sympathises with Stephanie and wanted to reach out to offer her some advice.

"She gave Stephanie some words of wisdom after inviting her to her home, telling her to take a break from the spotlight and concentrate on spending time with her son.

"Stephanie really respects Katie and has listened to her - she has been in the business for years and is a mother herself so knows what she is talking about."

Stephanie hit the headlines over the summer when her former flame Jeremy - who she has dated on and off since January 2016 and is the father of her son - was found guilty of assaulting her during a row at her home in Liverpool at the beginning of March.

The 24-year-old actress' legal woes with the 28-year-old Irish hunk meant that the record company she was working with on new music decided to cut ties with her.

A source said recently: "Stephanie has received yet another devastating blow. Music producers she was working with have decided to go their separate ways.

"She was hoping for big things and it just never happened. A lot of things were promised but the material and voice just wasn't there."

Stephanie - who wants to become a pop star - kicked off her comeback earlier this year when she released her dance track 'Missin'' on Soundcloud, but she was forced to put things on a back burner after she became embroiled in a court case with Jeremy.
