Pregnant Shaughna Phillips says the last few weeks of her pregnancy have proved to be 'challenging'.
The former Love Island star, 28, admits her unborn baby's father 'isn't around' following her boyfriend Billy Webb being arrested and charged with drug offences last month.
Shaughna explains how people 'don't know what to say' to her since the news of Webb's arrest broke - describing the awkward fact as 'the elephant in the room'.
She goes on to say she hasn't been lacking support over recent weeks, but can't say she's been 'inundated with messages' ahead of giving birth as a single woman next month.
Webb was arrested on January 20 and has been charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs on 21 January.
A representative for Shaughna - who had been dating childhood pal Webb since 2020 - told the Mirror the reality TV star "had absolutely no knowledge of any activity involving the allegations against Billy".
The spokesperson added: "Despite being in a long term relationship with the defendant, Shaughna has no links with the address in question, and will be openly assisting the police with their enquiries."
Speaking this week about preparing to become a single mum, described the last few weeks as challenge and admitted she's trying to prepare for the birth of her first baby and stay as calm as possible.
"Billy's not around, but I don't want to say that I'm doing it on my own, because I'm absolutely not - my family's incredible. It's going to be different [without Billy], but I don't want to say it's going to be bad," she told new magazine.
The mum-to-be went on to add how people "don't know what to say" since discovering Webb was arrested, and described the situation as "the elephant in the room".
At the time of Webb's arrest, a Met police spokesperson told the Mirror in a statement: "Billy Webb, 29, (3/2/93) of Thurlow Terrace, NW5 was charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs on 21 January.
"William Bowen, 78, (11/9.44) of Werrington Street, NW1 was charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A drug on 21 January.
"Webb was remanded at court to appear at Southwark Crown Court on an unspecified date. Bowen was bailed at court to appear at Southwark Crown Court on an unspecified date."
Shaughna began dating businessman and property developer Webb in 2020, after knowing each other since their teenager years, and previously spoke about how he doesn't want to be in the public eye.
"It’s not my decision," she previously said. "If I could share him, I would. He just doesn’t want to be in the public eye. I have to respect his wishes.
"Never say never. I’m sure one day he will be out there because he’s such a big part of my life. But for now, he’s OK sitting in the background.”
