AWKWARD: Steph was seen drinking the booze

The former Celebrity Big Brother star had appeared to be getting her life back on track after her ridiculously messy break-up from Jeremy McConnell.

However, it seems drama follows Steph wherever she goes after being snapped chugging from a suspicious looking pint glass in her local pub.

Taking to Twitter, the actress admitted to hitting up her local boozer though insisted she kept to soft drinks only.

"Fresh orange and a nice day," she wrote followed by the hashtags: "beer garden" and "happy."

Though no sooner did the star's message hit the web was she accused of blurring the truth.

"Wouldn't say you was drinking fresh orange," one user wrote, along with a snap of Steph drinking the unknown liquid out of a pint glass.

Not one to keep quite the newly brunette gal hit back: "Scouser selling there own trying to ruin me to The Sun.

"Sip of my mates drink clearly not a boozy night out. Sad. Laughing. Over my head. [sic]"

When one fan responded claiming she shouldn't be drinking at all, even if it is just a sip, the frank gal replied: "True your right, was only a sip of shandy but your right.[sic]"

"The time was have to be single is time to be good alone, on your own, and I've finally mastered that.
