# data[].attributes.body
Road trip with Vicky along the Italian coastline, documented for This Morning. They have both become the recognised celebrities for ITV. Cementing what she is well known for as this is another reality programme. The fact they are both doing another reality show doesn't surprise fans. 'Road trip of a lifetime', highlights their fortunate position and separates them from 'us'.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The trip will see the pair travel along the Amalfi Coast from Sorrento to Naples, taking in the stunning Italian scenery, experiencing local culture and learning how to make some of the finest traditional pizzas.

Ferne revealed, "I'm so excited about doing this with Vicky, out of everyone in the jungle, she's the one that I've kept in touch with the most. It's just going to be an amazing trip and I'm such a foodie too so I feel like you should go to Italy to eat - so they'll be no diet involved!"

Ferne added, "I'm designated driver because Vicky doesn't drive! I've got my bus license so I'm pretty sure I'll be OK along those winding roads and I'm always up for a challenge so she'll be in safe hands."

Vicky said, "It's the dream to work with Ferne on this road trip for This Morning, we have been out socially since the jungle but to join forces again for work is more than we could ask for. I love her to bits and it's going to be such a laugh! I loved recreating the look for the promo for this. I am not sure which one I am and which one Ferne is but I definitely wouldn't say no to meeting a Brad Pitt along the way either..."

Vicky added, "I cannot wait to see the Amalfi Coast, it's not somewhere I have been before and it's meant to be beautiful... plus I heard that George Clooney lives round there so we will definitely be giving him a knock!"

This Morning's editor Martin Frizell reveals, "Ferne is a firm favourite here at This Morning, and with 2016 being the 25th anniversary year of the Thelma and Louise movie, I thought we'd give Ferne the chance to go on her own road trip with a best friend too. I'm sure viewers will be gripped by their entertaining journey across the continent."

When summarising the type of media platform that Ferne uses, it is evident from this padlet that she is successful as a celebrity within lifestyle media. Coverage of her is heavily focussed on her life and image, which alongside; her appearances on day time television, fan base, and her beauty/fashion ranges amplify her presence as a popular celebrity in lifestyle media.

# data[].attributes.body
Appealing to her fan base, Ferne choses to to post a picture of both her and Sunday for International Women's day, highlighting independence and no need for a man. She is a dominant figure on Instagram and this is shown in this inspiring post. Again she is sporting just a bikini, thus promoting another element of her brand identity.

"When I used to be a hairdresser" normalising herself to become more relatable to fans and therefore subtly persuading them to buy the hair product she is advertising. By making herself 'one of us', we believe that if it makes her look that good, then it will work for us too. Again this is a gender specific post, suggesting that Ferne is aware of her acquired audience.

Comment section- other mothers relating to 'that bond'. She talks a lot about the two of them being in it together, emphacising that the father is completely unassociated with her now, so only allowing positivity. She entwines being a mother and also looking good in a bikini, thus promoting her herbal life brand whilst also appealing to her gendered audience.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of the comment sections on Ferne's interviews have been disabled. But in the few that I did see, alongside her Instagram comments, the negative comments stemmed mainly from men. This highlights how Ferne's image is gender specific. Her status as a mother, fitness queen and beauty advertiser has narrowed her appeal to mainly girls and women.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of interviews collected on this padlet are from her appearances on This Morning. Ferne has featured both as a celebrity guest and as a presenter. She is a well known figure and after appearing on I'm a Celeb whereby people invested in her, This Morning producers will be aware that she will generate public attention. Her role on this morning is even more appropriate when she becomes a single mother, as a large majority of viewers will be single mothers themselves and therefore able to watch daytime TV. Her persona appeals to This Morning's audience. Her career in lifestyle media is amplified in this new job role.

# data[].attributes.body
Adding another branch to her persona, Ferne as an actress. The presenters of This Morning take this seriously, persuading the audience to do the same. However in this interview she reaffirms her party-girl persona hasn't been abandoned, by doing the interview straight from a night out. This demonstrates how her image is evolving from simply being a reality star, to a blended fabrication of multiple attributes.

'Terrifying, but I love it': TOWIE's Ferne McCann makes her musical theatre debut in Gatsby musical

Her career is going from strength-to-strength since starring in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here late last year.

After already conquering reality TV and presenting, TOWIE star Ferne McCann's latest career venture is acting.

The former hairdresser, 26, made her musical theatre debut in the London production of Gatsby on Wednesday night.

Ferne is playing Myrtle Wilson - the married mistress of Tom Buchanan - in the musical adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel The Great Gatsby at the Union Theatre in Southwark.

The Essex-native had been teasing fans with behind-the-scenes photos of herself in costume and speaking of her nerves ahead of opening night.

Following her debut on Wednesday, Ferne tweeted: 'Wow wow wow wow what a feeling! First show done & down! #gatsby opening night was a blast. Terrifying but I loved it!'

See TOWIE updates as Ferne McCann makes her musical theatre debut in Gatsby musical

On Thursday, she was back on the This Morning sofa as a showbiz reporter and couldn't help discuss her musical theatre debut with Rylan Clark and Ruth Langsford.

She said: 'I was playing the character Myrtle. I loved it I've got the buzz and I'm back on tonight.

'It's something I always wanted to do, I studied theatre at A'level but never really went into it. I have to sing, hence why I'm losing my voice.'

Ahead of her second night treading the boards, Ferne admitted starring in the show was one of the most scariest moments of her life.

She wrote on Instagram on Thursday: '2nd night of Gatsby tonight. Opening night last night was one of the most nerve wracking experiences to date. But I have officially made my musical theatre debut! If you want something enough it will happen! Follow your dreams, work hard & always be grateful. Cannot wait for tonight. Gatsby is at the Union Theatre until the 31st.'

This links directly to Ferne's new found status as a celebrity mum, within this article it states that there has been an increased popularization of magazine interest in celebrity motherhood. There is also a great emphasis in being a 'yummy mummy' an idea that correlates with Ferne's recent body transformation. The increasing pressure to lose baby weight quickly is shown in her association with 'herbal life'.

'He'll regret this': Ferne McCann blasts 'controlling' Charlie Sims for dumping her and reveals why she picked TOWIE over him

Ferne McCann has spoken out for the first time since Charlie Sims publicly dumped her via Twitter.

Speaking to Now magazine, the 24-year-old admitted she feels 'heartbroken' and 'inconsolable' after he decided to end their six-year relationship.

However, according to the pretty brunette, it'll just be a matter of time before her ex realises what a mistake he has made.

'I don't think he was thinking straight,' she said. 'I think he'll regret those tweets.'

Spilling the beans on their split, Ferne revealed that the couple had argued following Wednesday night's episode of TOWIE.

During the show, Charlie had stood up his sister Chloe after she had arranged to meet him so that they could sort out their differences.

Shortly afterwards, his cousin Frankie Essex made an appearance and blamed Ferne for his no-show.

Clearly upset by what he'd seen, the deli owner texted Ferne after the episode had aired and told her the show wasn't 'good for anyone'.

The following morning, Charlie then gave Ferne an ultimatum; him or TOWIE.

Inevitably, she chose to stay on the show and is standing by her decision.

She explained: 'TOWIE's my job at the end of the day - it's my career. His behaviour has made me question the future. Now I think we want different things in life. He was my everything but now it looks like that isn't going to happen anymore and I have to re-evaluate my life. It's really upsetting.'

Commenting on Charlie's decision to announce their split on social media, Ferne added: 'As far as I'm concerned, things had been amazing. Up until this morning, he was the man I wanted to marry tomorrow. Now I just don't know. But don't run to Twitter and don't try to control my life!'

Following her interview, Ferne was spotted out and about in Brentwood on Monday filming new scenes for TOWIE. As she made her way to meet best friend Billie Faiers, she tried to put on a brave face. The duo were later joined by Georgia Kousoulou, Danielle Armstrong and James Lock.

However, despite being surrounded by friends, the heartbreak is undoubtedly taking its toll on Ferne behind closed doors.

Fans had no idea her relationship was on the rocks until Charlie decided to rant about the star on Twitter last week.

He wrote: 'So sad to not lose one.. But two people you love dearly to a TV show. Everyone can point the finger at me.. But I have morals. And dignity.

'And some sort of self-respect. I wish @Chloe_Sims and @fernemccann the best with their lives. But always live knowing you chose the show.'

Before contacting producers to tell them he wanted to leave the show, Charlie then dramatically announced that he had quit to his shocked his 371,000 followers.

'To the @OnlyWayIsEssex .... I won't be taking part anymore. It's time to grow up and move on. I wish everyone the best on the show!

'Stay true to who you are. Today I became me the real Charlie Sims.. And so another chapter begins.'

TOWIE returns to ITVBe - without Charlie - on Wednesday at 10pm.

Decision to not include Arthur in the series is important as it shows how her persona is still not completely relatable, the documentary is an insight into her personal life, and yet this has been carefully selected. The positive aspects of her persona are the main focus.

Ferne McCann swore she'd never see Arthur Collins again after he was jailed for a nightclub acid attack.

But after reports that their baby daughter Sunday had been taken to see him in prison, it's now being said that she's going to visit him herself, and that it'll all be on camera.

The former TOWIE star's pregnancy was documented last year on reality show First Time Mum, and with a second series in the pipeline, it's thought that execs are keen to up the drama by filming her as she visits him in jail.

Ferne McCann 'in turmoil' as Arthur Collins moves prison while his sister spits venom on Facebook

Collins was jailed last year after injuring a number of people in a nightclub acid attack.

Ferne had found out she was pregnant while he was on the run from police and publicly ended their relationship, saying she was going to raise her daughter alone.

Now, insiders tell Heat magazine: "The producers want her to talk on screen about Arthur and to be allowed to film if she visits him. They'd even like some of his family to star in the series.

"She'd prefer it to be about her life as a single mum and her beauty products, but that won't attract viewers in the same way."

Last month, Ferne's relationship with her ex was brought back into the spotlight when it emerged his mum had taken Sunday to the jail.

But the 27-year-old quickly hit out at reports that she'd been to the prison herself.

She took to social media to set the record straight, saying she's only been to visit the father of her child once.

However, she kept quiet over whether or not her daughter had been taken to the prison by others.

Posting a statement online, Ferne said: "In response to today's false press story about me. I am posting this so it cannot be misquoted & sets the record straight.

"There's a constant slew of false stories written about me. The story today says that I have been visiting Sunday's father in prison.

"As I have already made clear I visited him once and I have not been to see him since. I have repeatedly made clear that I have not been back to see him in response to the press asking me about this has been ignored.

"Again and for absolute clarity, I do not in anyway condone the actions that took place in Mangle in April 2017. Nobody should be faced with violence on a night out and the victims have my fullest sympathy.

"Respectfully, Ferne."

It came after reports that the star had secretly backtracked on the promise she made Collins never to let him see his baby daughter again, after he was jailed for a horrific acid attack in an East London nightclub.

Ferne had previously sworn to remove baby Sunday from Collins' life when she went to visit him in prison two weeks after giving birth.

The magazine source added: "Arthur was front-page news for months when he was on trial, and the show's bosses want to appeal to that audience."

They also said that Ferne "needs the money at the moment" and may have to do it if she's offered a big fee, despite wishing she could rid her ex from her life.

Mirror Online has contacted Ferne's representatives for comment.

Accessorising the fringed bikini with a simple gold necklace, Ferne wore minimal makeup as she let her blonde locks hang naturally down her shoulders.

Dotingly holding her one-year-old daughter in her arms, Ferne looked happy and relaxed as she soaked up the sun in the luxurious setting.

Looking more adorable than ever, baby Sunday was dressed in a yellow swimsuit with ruffle detail.

Ferne's holiday comes after she revealed she's finally keen to meet a new man in future - t wo years after the end of her relationship with convicted acid attacker Arthur Collins.

Despite Sunday always remaining her number one priority, the 28 year old confirmed she is ready to find love again.

Speaking to The Sun Online, Ferne admitted: "Being a single parent can be really lonely sometimes.

"Even though it's the best thing because you get all the love and it's so rewarding, there's definitely nights when it's like 'wow, I don't have anyone else.

"My priority is my daughter Sunday and I have to work to provide for her, but she's a year old now and life is moving on.

"I'm at that stage of my life, so I am more open to dating now. That's my New Year's resolution."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After boxer Amir Khan's discovery, in I'm A Celebrity, that Australia is nowhere near Alaska and that we have twice (shockingly) had a woman prime minister, I give you Ferne McCann from The Only Way Is Essex.

Last week, she appeared to misplace an essential part of her female anatomy.

McCann is the latest reality "star" to grace us with her commanding intelligence in Can You Tell How Stupid I Am Yet? It might as well have been.

It was actually called Ferne McCann: First-Time Mum (ITVBe, Tuesday). The performer - loosely termed - had a session with a hypnotherapist to encourage her to breathe during pregnancy.

Trust me, she needed reminding. As the conversation continued, she inquired: "Every woman has got a uterus, yeah?" Cue, much tumbleweed in Essex.

Her mother, also in the room, looked quizzical but not completely disowning.

The TV audience was simply aghast at another instalment of Not Educating Essex.

Where was she during biology? In the Sugar Hut nightclub? OK, she's been having quite a time of it lately.

The father of her soon-to-be-born child, Arthur Collins, was convicted of throwing acid over dancers in a nightclub while she was filming all this.

She has coped with this devastating news by documenting her every breath in a reality show over the past nine months.

Of course, those of us who aren't reality stars would simply disappear from view. Not brave Ferne.

She does a photoshoot and makes sure her Instagram is up-to-date. Girl's gotta make a living.

As the "styling" got under way, Ferne gave a rare insight into how she was conceiving her look: "The Virgin Mary... that's the image I was trying to get across."

She couldn't stop talking about her "birf" and its effects on her body. After all, she was going to have the only baby ever born in Essex.

Her belly button was endlessly fascinating (to her), as she poked around trying to clean it.

Indeed, the whole world was endlessly fascinating to her, like she'd never seen it before.

Her incredulity knew no bounds: amazing herself that she could attend a yoga session with other pregnant women without them ruining her evening with selfi e requests. Or her delight over the taxing self-assembly Tripp Trapp high chair for whom she is no doubt a very important ambassador.

Or is now. It was important for her to catch up with old friends. One excited pal was just about to have his "nostrils done".

He's paying for this service, apparently. Serving lunch to her buddies, Ferne couldn't control her excitement: "I've just salvated [sic] in the chicken. Is that the right word?" Salvation from chicken?

Even more in common with the Virgin Mary. For the record, she gave birth to a girl, which she named Sunday, but who was born on a Thursday

"Sunday" will be a "second generation" reality star, whether she likes it or not.

She's already got the birth video. Here's something to watch over Christmas/ New Year, a complete gem of a drama that has arrived in the schedule with little fanfare.

Feud: Bette And Joan (BBC2, last night) is an eight-parter from the US on the long-standing rivalry between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, two actresses for whom the term "star" can be used without embarrassment.

It deals with how the two appeared opposite each other in the film Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? from 1962.

The script crackles with great lines. Ms Crawford was the grand dame of Hollywood by this stage but was cutting back on staff.

But the departing gardener was still in awe: "It was an honour to prune Miss Crawford's bushes," he offered, without irony. It also feels very contemporary.

"They're not making pics for women any more," Crawford tells Davis, who was appearing on Broadway but only as a second lead.

It's the casting that makes this drama so watchable. Crawford is played by Jessica Lange, while Davis is Susan Sarandon, who is also an executive producer on the project.

Then two favourites of British television, Stanley Tucci and Alfred Molina, play the studio boss and the film's director respectively. In one brilliant scene between the pair, with a distinct whiff of Weinstein, Tucci gets a full back massage as Molina pitches the film.

The former is underwhelmed with the idea of two older women in a film: "Would you **** 'em?" he shouts at Molina as the blonde masseuse withdraws with a whack on the backside from Tucci.

He continues: "I created goddesses." You wonder if Hollywood will ever change. No Christmas should be attempted without first watching every minute of Kirstie's Homemade Christmas (C4, Monday).

But before you do I would take a trip to Specsavers otherwise everything you make will need to be examined under a large magnifying glass.

We are indebted to Kirstie for everything she uncovers: "My main gift to you is sugar crafting..."

So grateful. We then had "sugar blowing" and a Christmas tree made from a tiny ice cream cone. It will, of course, take at least three months to make any of this at which point you will wish you'd heeded her warning: "It can be fiddly."

Happy Christmas crafting.

Ferne McCann is excited but extremely nervous about the launch of her new series First Time Mum tonight (May 2).

When Digital Spy caught up with the star just hours ahead of broadcast, she revealed that all of her friends from TOWIE had been in touch to wish her luck - with some even set to make cameos, including James Argent and Danielle Armstrong.

But one person who hasn't been in contact is her old pal Sam Faiers.

According to reports, the pair have fallen out over her decision to make First Time Mum because of its similarities to Sam's show The Mummy Diaries.

When we asked Ferne to set the record straight, she revealed exactly what's gone down between the pair.

"I never understood why she was unhappy that I took the opportunity to do the show - but that is her beef," she said. "You could have 10 pregnancy mummy shows and they would all be completely different because they're all different people."

Ferne, who gave birth to her little girl Sunday six months ago, claimed that despite Sam making her feelings crystal clear about the show, it wasn't an option for her to turn down the opportunity.

She stressed that as a single parent with a baby she needs to provide for, she had to do what was best for her daughter.

"I would never want to go out of my way to upset friends - that would never be in my interest, especially at the very dark difficult time that I was going through," she added, referring to her baby's father Arthur Collins, who was jailed last year for his involvement in a nightclub acid attack which left 14 people injured.

"I didn't want to add more negativity or upset, but it was a fantastic opportunity that I absolutely couldn't refuse. And knowing that I was going to be a single parent, I had to think about my daughter."

Ferne's friend Vicky Pattison recently got engaged to boyfriend John Noble. When asked how she would feel if the I'm a Celebrity winner fell pregnant and decided to make a reality show about her journey, the Essex star insisted that she would not feel threatened at all.

"Absolutely not," she continued. "We've even spoke about it actually. We should do a show where she gets married and then I have another baby. That's the thing, our generation are all getting engaged and having babies, that's just what happens."

Opening up about what it was like to film the series, Ferne described it as "daunting" and "exposing".

She's been followed around by cameras constantly for the last eight weeks with every moment caught on film.

Although it's been an intense experience, she said it was somewhat therapeutic after the tough year she's endured.

"You have to wear your heart on your sleeve with a show like this," she added. "I absolutely do because I'm super honest. I think that's what makes me relatable.

"This was an opportunity I couldn't refuse. It has been good fun and I love the fact that I can inspire others and entertain others. I love being part of British television but also it is work for me and I now have somebody else to provide for."

Digital Spy has reached out to Sam Faiers for comment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sam Faiers and Ferne McCann have been best friends since they were children, and went on to star in The Only Way Is Essex together before starting families and launching their own parenting shows, The Mummy Diaries and First Time Mum.

Rumours Sam and Ferne had fallen out first started in May 2017, shortly after news of Ferne's pregnancy broke, however at the time the girls denied any reports of a feud.

Sam and Ferne have since given birth to daughters Sunday Skye and Rosie Knightley, and neither publicly congratulated one another on their baby girls, and are yet to enjoy a playdate together, that we know about.

Ferne confirmed the girls had officially fallen out and the reason why earlier in the year, and now reports claim Billie Faiers has dropped Ferne as her bridesmaid for her upcoming nuptials, despite Ferne attending her hen do in June 2018.

Here's everything we know so far...

Latest: Billie reportedly drops Ferne as bridesmaid

Speaking about their ongoing feud, Sam recently told the Sun Online: "Look to be honest, over the last couple of years, Ferne and I hadn't seen eye to eye on a number of things. Sometimes as friends you do just drift apart.

"We were both at my sister's bridal shower - Ferne was there. It was fine. It was nice. We were just catching up on the babies really. So we are fine."

But now it seems the feud has been reignited as Billie has reportedly axed the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! favourite from her bridesmaids list.

A source told The Sun Online: "Billie and Ferne grew up together and spoke from a young age about how they would one day be each other's bridesmaids.

"It was a big shock to Ferne when she was excluded from Billie's list of bridesmaids but she knows it was all down to her fall out with Sam.

"Ferne will be attending Billie's hen do in Ibiza and the wedding - though remains upset she wasn't chosen to be a bridesmaid."

OK! Online has contacted representatives for both Billie and Ferne for comment on this story.

May 2017: Sam and Ferne reported to be feuding

A source told Heat! magazine Sam hadn't been supportive of her friend.

The insider revealed: "When Ferne revealed she was pregnant, Sam sent her these supportive messages but when it came to meeting up, she kept making her excuses. When she didn't say anything about Ferne's pregnancy or her This Morning interview in public, things came to a head. Basically it seems like Sam's worried about her image and career.

"One minute she's [Ferne's] crying, the next she's angry. Right now she feels like Sam's turned her back on her."

Ferne denies she's 'angry' at Sam

Responding to the rumours, Ferne hit back and denied the claims of a fall out.

A insider told OK! Online exclusively at the time: "Things are absolutely fine and they've been hanging out as normal."

The source also revealed Paul Knightley's girlfriend had been giving the expectant mum tips on pregnancy.

Pregnant Ferne and Sam fail to compare bumps

Following the news they were both expecting and due around the same time, Ferne and Sam weren't pictured together throughout their pregnancies on social media, although they could have met up away from the spotlight.

November 2017: Sam and Ferne welcome newborn daughters

In November 2017, Sam and Ferne both gave birth to their daughters just a week apart, and although there were a few Instagram likes, it doesn't look like their baby girls have met one another.

Despite Sam's sister Billie visiting Sunday for the first time, Sam was nowhere to be seen.

TV show fallout

It's been speculated that Sam wasn't best pleased following Ferne's contract for a mum and baby show with ITV.

A source told The Sun: "Their fallout first started when Ferne told Sam that she had landed her own pregnancy reality show.

"Sam felt like Ferne was trying to emulate her success by launching a rival programme - and it made things awkward between them.

"Ferne was never going to turn down the show as it was an opportunity for her to make money for Sunday but without Sam's support the breakdown of their friendship was inevitable."

Sam accused of stealing Ferne's thunder

On the day Ferne's new show First Time Mum was due to air, Sam announced her baby girl's name four weeks after giving birth.

Sam's timing didn't go unnoticed by fans, with one commenting: "Don't know why Sam Faiers decided to announce her baby's name a month after her birth and when First Time Mum is just on, think she was trying to steal the limelight."

While one added: "I like Sam Faiers but isn't she meant to be Ferne's friend? No support for her show and she announced her babies name just before it started."

At the time, Sam Faiers' manager told OK! Online exclusively: "Samantha announced the name of her baby's name on Tuesday as that's the day her and Paul decided on it. The time of the announcement has nothing to do with Ferne's show."

February 2018: Ferne McCann addresses feud on Twitter

Following reports that Ferne had been to see ex Arthur Collins in prison, the reality star took to Twitter to address the feud with Sam - with some believing it confirms they are in fact, no longer friends.

Writing to her 842k followers, Ferne said: "Regarding today's many FALSE stories about me (and sorry to bore you all)...

"Sam and I never fell out about Arthur! This is false."

April 2018: Billie Faiers gets involved

It appeared Billie Faiers and her fiancé Greg Shepherd had also fallen out with Ferne after he sent her a sarcastic comment on Twitter.

When The Mummy Diaries aired on a Wednesday night at 9pm, Ferne, at the same time, tweeted her support for rival reality programme The Charlotte Show.

Hitting back, Greg tweeted: "Wow!! #socalledbesties." However, Ferne later revealed the situation got blown out of proportion and everything had since been cleared up.

But despite The Mummy Diaries belonging to both Billie Faiers and Sam Faiers, Ferne also made it clear she's only here for one of the siblings on social media.

Taking to Twitter before the ITVBe show aired, she wrote: "Longest day but finally got my pyjamas on . Sunday sound asleep, feet up, kettle on & going to tune into The Mummy Diaries in 10 mins @ITVBe @BillieFaiers ￼￼￼."

Commenting on Ferne's failure to mention Sam, one fan wrote: "What the hell has happened between Ferne McCann and Samantha Faiers? I feel there's no loyalty in this friendship between Ferne McCann, Billie Faiers and Samantha Faiers.

"You're all mummies, why aren't you all supporting each other? Girls Stick Together￼."

[Twitter]

Ferne McCann confirms First Time Mum is the reason for her fallout with Sam Faiers

Speaking to Star magazine, Ferne explained: "We fell out because I went ahead and filmed for this show.

"After the year I've had, I haven't got the energy to entertain feuds. I just want positivity around me."

However, she did confirm she was on good terms with Sam's sister Billie Faiers and would be attending her wedding to Greg Shepherd.

Insider exclusively reveals different reason for Sam and Ferne's fall out

Speaking to OK! Online, and insider said: "Sam and Ferne hadn't seen eye to eye for a period of time, primarily due to the fact Sam did not approve of her relationship with Arthur Collins.

"When Ferne committed to staying with Arthur even after he was convicted Sam decided it was time to cut all ties. Sam has always been supportive of Ferne and her career and its a shame that Ferne is trying to state otherwise."

They added: "There is no feud they're simply not friends."

May 2018: Ferne and Sam's awkward red carpet run in

Ferne McCann and Sam Faiers appeared to show there was no bad blood as they both attended the NHS Heroes Awards on May 14.

The Mummy Diaries star attended the bash with her boyfriend Paul Knightley, while Ferne had the support of her pal Vicky Pattison who she sat next to at the bash.

Both parents attended the event without their brood.

June 2018: Ferne and Sam attend Billie Faiers' hen do together

Despite their on going feud, the stars put their beef aside for Billie's hen do, as she prepared to marry Greg Shepherd.

Sam and Ferne appeared completely unfazed by their former drama, as they could be seen frolicking in white silk pyjamas and sipping on some bubbly at the party with Billie and her pals in a series of Instagram posts.

Ferne took to Twitter on Tuesday to explain that any contact she has with Arthur is for the benefit of her their daughter, Sunday

Sam Faiers 'ended her long-standing friendship with Ferne McCann over her decision to maintain a relationship with ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins after he was jailed for carrying out an acid attack'.

Rumours of a feud between the pair were first sparked in December 2017, and a source has now confirmed to MailOnline that Sam, 27, and Ferne, 27, are 'simply not friends' any longer.

The source told MailOnline: 'There is no feud between Sam and Ferne, they are simply not friends.

'Sam decided to end their friendship when Ferne decided to maintain her relationship with Arthur following his sentence for the heinous acid attack. Reports stating otherwise is attempt at damage control by Ferne's PR team.'

However, Ferne took to Twitter on Tuesday to wade into the matter.

She said: 1 - For the record (again) I am not in a relationship with Arthur.

'I do not know how much clearer I could be about that!! Sam and I never fell out about Arthur! This is false.'

She added: '2 - Arthur is Sunday's father. I have had to communicate with him and his family with respect to Sunday (mainly through lawyers). Todays 'sources' are wrong. Much love Ferne x.'

The former TOWIE stars, as well as Sam's sister Billie, 28, have been best friends for years, with the trio all being propelled to fame thanks to the success of the ITVBe reality show.

But speculation mounted that they had fallen out when Sam sat down for an interview with this week's edition new! magazine - and refused to discuss Ferne while promoting the new season of ITVBe's The Mummy Diaries with Billie.

A friend close to the star told MailOnline: 'Sam and Billie wanted to focus on promoting their new show so their publicist decided that questions around TOWIE or former castmates was off the table.

'When questions came up about Ferne and Amy [Childs] they were stopped for that reason.'

A spokesperson for Ferne McCann has been contacted for comment by MailOnline.

As Sam spoke about how she's been getting back into shape since the November birth of her second child, daughter Rosie, the new! interviewer attempted to broach the subject of her pal's experiences as she said: 'And Ferne's had a baby as well...'

However, according to the new!, the reality stars' publicist swiftly cut in to interject: 'I'm afraid we're not doing any questions on Ferne.'

During the interview, the representative is also quoted on cutting in when another erstwhile TOWIE star-turned-mother was brought up for discussion, saying: 'I'm afraid no questions on Amy.'

In December, rumours of a feud between Sam and Ferne reached fever pitch, when the former announced her daughter Rosie's name after a month-long wait less than an hour before the latter's reality show, First Time Mum, was set to air.

A source told The Sun: 'Their fallout first started when Ferne told Sam that she had landed her own pregnancy reality show.

'Sam felt like Ferne was trying to emulate her success by launching a rival programme - and it made things awkward between them.

'Ferne was never going to turn down the show as it was an opportunity for her to make money for [her daughter] Sunday but without Sam's support the breakdown of their friendship was inevitable.'

The news comes after Heat magazine claimed Ferne is planning to visit Arthur in prison despite her previous vow to never speak to him again.

First Time Mum producers are said to be keen to capture the relationship between the two, as insiders told the publication: 'The producers want her to talk on screen about Arthur and to be allowed to film if she visits him.

'They'd even like some of his family to star in the series. She'd prefer it to be about her life as a single mum and her beauty products, but that won't attract viewers in the same way.'

Meanwhile, Ferne - who gave birth to her daughter Sunday in November - has continued to flaunt her jaw-dropping post-baby body.

On Monday, she took to Instagram to share a smouldering snap in which she flashed her washboard abs in a tight white crop top.

Ferne , who shares the tot with her jailbird ex Arthur Collins, looked nothing short of incredible in the selfie as she popped her hip, while describing her outfit as: 'Killa.'

She has settled into her new parenting duties with ease as a single mother over the last few months. The Essex born beauty has been updating her millions of followers on Instagram since she embarked on a 30 Day challenge to shed the pounds.

On Instagram, she wrote: '#motivationmonday Well done to team mate and good friend @fernemccann @fernutrition for her 30 Day Challenge progress. You are looking a million and should be so proud of yourself.'

The model is set to break her silence on her former flame and the father of her child Arthur and his conviction for committing an acid attack at a nightclub.

ITV2 series First Time Mum has been recommissioned for three-part second season and the latest run of episodes will involve her discussing her ex.

Arthur was convicted of GBH and ABH against 14 people after he sprayed party-goers with acid following an argument at the Mangle E8 nightclub in east London last April.

The attack left several clubbers hospitalised and scarred for life, while some required skin grafts. Arthur is currently serving a 20-year jail sentence for the act.

The horrific incident left 22 clubbers injured, several of whom confronted him in court, with one woman recalling the moment she felt her skin 'come off'.

Arthur claimed he thought he was throwing a date rape drug, but he was labelled a 'calculating liar' who has not shown the 'slightest remorse' by the judge.

Ferne McCann's baby Sunday caused quite the stir during an appearance on Lorraine on Wednesday.

The gorgeous little girl, who Ferne shares with ex-boyfriend and convicted acid attacker Arthur Collins, sat on her mum's knee in a rare live appearance with The Only Way Is Essex beauty.

But fans were left in giggles as the little girl rolled around all over her mum during her appearance - before blurting out random noises, just days after it was revealed she has started talking.

Fans in their masses took to Instagram to praise Ferne's parenting skills - and to say how adorable and hilarious the little girl truly is.

"Can't stop laughing at baby Sunday!! Sososo cute," one fan wrote, while another added: "Cutest interview ever, Sunday is beautiful @fernemccann."

"@fernemccann interview with her daughter, I've never seen such an adorable little girl," a third gushed.

"Omg she is just the most adorable baby girl, and those eyes beautiful just like her mum," a fourth fan added.

Ferne was on the show to discuss the return of her show First Time Mum, which airs on Wednesday night at 9pm.

Sunday turned one during filming for the ITVBe series, and she had a surprise for doting mum Ferne.

The former TOWIE star and her pal Danielle Armstrong appear in a new clip for the show, which airs on 9pm.

As Ferne sings "Happy Birthday" to her little one, close friend Danielle encourages the tot to repeat the word "happy".

Suddenly, Sunday appears to say the word, leaving the ladies super teary.

Ferne then confirmed "happy" is her little girl's first word, as she continues to repeat it a number of times.

She shared the clip on her Instagram, revealing the milestone to her 2.2 million followers.

Ferne captioned it saying: "H A P P Y my baby girl's first word...One more sleep until #FirstTimeMum is BACK!"

Ferne McCann has opened up to Closer magazine about how "tough" being a single parent can be. Read the full interview in this week's issue - but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek...

After giving birth to her first baby daughter Sunday last year, Ferne McCann has remained nothing but positive about parenting her baby on her own.

But in an exclusive interview with Closer magazine, Ferne has admitted she has found the past year "tough," and was overwhelmed after the realisation of everything she would be doing on her own.

She said: "While I was pregnant, I knew I was going to be a single mum, but it didn't hit me until I actually had Sunday.

"That was tough to deal with - realising I really was totally on my own."

Of course, Ferne has had a huge amount of support from her mum and other family members, but said the "most difficult things" about being a single mum was making decisions on someone else's behalf.

She explained: "I don't have another person to confer with, I don't have another person to discuss my day-to-day decisions with - like choosing what food she has, what she does every day. It's tough."

But ever the optimist, Ferne refused to be brought down by what had happened before, and looked forward to the future - with her new boyfriend.

When asked about her love life, Ferne blushed and laughed that she was turning red, before finally admitting: "I'm happy!"

She went on to affirm that Sunday was the most important thing, however, adding: "But right now, it's all about me and Sunday.

"I don't have much time for anything else - my love life is at the bottom of the list of priorities."

She revealed that it was her dream to have more children one day, living in a "nice house in the countryside with a family."

Ferne asserted that life didn't stop if you're a single parent, saying: "You can be a single parent and still have a future!

"If one relationship doesn't work out, you can still get that fairytale ending."

Despite these implicit messages, in a last series of First Time Mum, much of the dialogue was fixated around her wanting to date. This included an uncomfortable scene in which Ferne is flirting with Love Island's Charlie. She is attempting to appeal to both single mothers and the media, the media feed off relationship issues and so these actions will gain her public attention. Unclear as to what can be regarded as the 'real' her, she is trying too hard to appeal to all audiences.

Reality star Ferne McCann opened up about dating Love Island millionaire Charlie Brake and revealed why a relationship with him would never work.

The latest insight into her life as a single mum, on ITVBe show Ferne McCann: First Time Mum, viewers are treated to her meeting Charlie at a prestigious dinner but there were already telltale signs that they would be locked in forever.

The 28-year-old was seen getting ready for her big night, when she was going to meet up with Charlie, with the hope of getting more than a cheeky wink.

Donning an open lilac suit, Ferne was pleased with what she had on show and pointed out, "my tits look phenom. They actually look really decent."

As she was taken to the event, Ferne kept enthusing about what she had been blessed with and almost gave viewers more than an eyeful.

She exclaimed: "Look at those bad boys. I have got a cheeky chicken fillet in."

Ferne said she was "excited to see him," now that she was back on the dating scene.

After an awkward meet with Love Island hopeful Eyal Booker, it was time for the main event.

It didn't start well, with Ferne unimpressed with his snakeskin inspired jacket, that was "over the top."

By the time they were on a table and ready for dinner, she seemed to be overlooked as Charlie spent time, "talking to Mario about cars," which Ferne branded, "f***ing boring."

Charlie on seemed to have his eyes on one thing, actually two things and they weren't the chicken fillets.

He told Ferne that he would like to undress her and this was all before he got round to asking her for a date.

Viewers called out the 23-year-old reality star on Twitter , branding him 'lecherous' and cringeworthy'.

Despite this, "born again virgin" Ferne was "totally flattered about being asked on a date. I've got me my mojo back."

With Charlie seemingly to be looking for a way to fasttrack into the bedroom, Ferne reiterated that she wanted to "take it slow," and here was a huge stumbling block over any future together.

With viewers imploring Ferne to stay single, there was one huge reason why any relationship with Charlie would be doomed.

Ferne's daughter Sunday, who was born in November 2017, is now her main consideration and she said any dating would have to fit in with the parenting of her child.

In a tearful moment, Ferne admitted: "She's just my world. She is my priority. Every decision moving forward I make when dating, I have to think about the both of us."

With this, any chance of her and Charlie blossoming into something more permanent was gone.

Charlie's actions were not of a person that is looking to settle down as getting notches on his bed post seemed to be more on his mind.

It is little wonder that it never went further than a cheeky date or two.

Ferne McCann fans are MORTIFIED by her flirtation with Charlie Brake... as he discusses getting her naked, being in charge and her being his 'dessert'

She confessed in earlier episodes that she's looking for love.

And Ferne McCann's search was well and truly on on Wednesday night's episode as she was seen enjoying a flirtation with Love Island star Charlie Brake - however fans were not convinced by his Lothario ways as he was branded 'cringe'.

The 28-year-old former TOWIE star sparked conversation on Twitter as fans were left squirming over the exchange in which he jokes about getting her naked, having her for dessert and taking charge in their romance.

Ferne shot to fame on TOWIE's ninth series in 2013 before leaving the show three years later, shortly before scooping her own reality show which initially documented her pregnancy and later her life as a single mother.

Her love life has been relatively muted since her split from acid attacker Arthur Collins, who was found guilty of five counts of grievous bodily harm and nine of actual bodily harm before being jailed for 20 years.

After revealing in last week's episode that she's ready for love, Ferne's flirtation with Charlie played out in front of the cameras - in scenes which aired months after she refuted claims they were an item despite various sightings together.

As they attended The Beauty Awards with OK! in November, Ferne was feeling flirtatious as she chatted to Charlie, during which she asked if he liked his starter to which he responded: 'You're my starter. No actually you're not, you're my dessert.'

When asked if he liked her suit, Charlie replied: 'I like your suit but I want you out of it', before insisting he would 'be in charge' if they hooked up.

Viewers soon swarmed Twitter to comment on the scenes as users wrote: 'Watching Charlie and Ferne awkwardly flirt is making me cringe... God I'm cringing at Charlie and Ferne on her show last night... Eughhh I'm cringing at Charlie & Ferne...

'Charlie's flirting with Ferne #FirstTimeMum... Charlie trying to flirt with Ferne......crikey, do women really fall for this nonsense? #FirstTimeMum...

'I can't cope with Ferne and Charlie flirting! They look like mother and son... Ferne can do a lot better, Charlie brake seems so desperate #fernemccann'.

Last week, Ferne admitted she is ready to find 'true love' after being left scorned by her romance with acid attacker ex Arthur Collins.

The beauty split from Arthur while expecting 15-month-old daughter Sunday after he was found guilty of hurling acid on clubgoers in a shock attack in April 2017, while her love life has been relatively quiet ever since.

Speaking to the camera, Ferne said: 'I would love to find true love it's one of the best feelings when you're in love with someone and the feeling's mutual...

'I feel like it's just such a nice feeling. I feel like I'm, ready to move on and find true love and I feel like I deserve it.'

She's been embracing the single life ever since her split from former beau Arthur Collins in 2017, who she shares 15-year-old daughter Sunday with.

And Ferne McCann has revealed she hasn't had sex in almost two years during Wednesday's edition of First Time Mum.

In a bid to reemerge on the dating scene, the TV personality, 28, agreed to go on a second date with TOWIE co-star Liam 'Gatsby' Blackwell, four years after their brief romance.

Insisting she's 'grown out' of her flat, the yummy mummy enlisted the help of businessman Liam, 29, to help her find a new country-style home.

Hardcore TOWIE fans will remember they enjoyed a brief flirtation, with the aspiring rapper treating Ferne to a helicopter date on the reality show in 2015.

While viewing a master bedroom, the mother-of-one revealed she hasn't had sex in almost two years.

She explained: 'It's coming up to two years, I'm basically a born-again virgin. I need to clean away the old cobwebs!'

Flirting up a storm, the TV star told Gatsby: 'I feel like you're my perfect man. You took me on the most unbelievable date [back in 2015].'

Liam went on to ask Ferne out for a second date, with the parent admitting: 'This has taken me by complete surprise... but I feel like, why not? We have great banter, I love his style, so yes!'

Elsewhere in the episode, the fitness enthusiast detailed her dating dilemmas with her make-up artist Mikey.

Ferne admitted: 'I haven't been on a date in two years. I just want to fast forward to the relationship stage.'

She also crudely revealed that she would hold in her 'farts' in a bid to keep the spark alive in her relationships:

'I would get internal farts all day long! I held it in so much with my ex-boyfriend that I had to get a colonic irrigation'.

Ferne proved her search for love is well and truly in action as she was later seen flirting with Love Island hunk Charlie Brake following speculation of a romance.

She was chatting to the hunk, shortly before her former co-star Mario Falcone pointed out his 'playboy' status and warned the stunner away from the millionaire.

Her love life has been relatively muted since her split from acid attacker Arthur Collins, who was found guilty of five counts of grievous bodily harm and nine of actual bodily harm before being jailed for 20 years.

After revealing in last week's episode that she's ready for love, Ferne's flirtation with TV star Charlie, 24, played out in front of the cameras - in scenes aired months after she refuted claims they were an item despite various sightings together.

Filmed at The Beauty Awards with OK! in November, the Essex beauty was feeling flirtatious as she said to Charlie: 'You look really nice. Do you know we're on the same table? You look amazing. Love the jacket.'

He then playfully pointed out the snakeskin pattern on his jacket - however possibly unnecessarily told the star the jacket was not actual snakeskin.

As Ferne began to walk away she was left stunned when Charlie said to her: 'Do you want a kiss then? I would've given you one!

'You're my starter, actually no, you're my dessert. Your eyes, f****** hell. They're a joke', he added.

Taking his flirting skills to the next level, the wealthy star teased: 'I want you out of it [Ferne's lilac suit].'

Despite their chemistry, Charlie soon shifted his attention onto Mario, 31, as the pair spoke about cars.

Ferne complained: 'My boobs are looking unreal, and he's sat there talking to Mario about cars, how boring!'

She went on: 'Charlie is a really nice guy, but this baby mama has to get home! He's a lovely guy, but I don't know whether its more on a friendship level. He has asked me out on a date though.'

Ferne went on to explain the frustrations of her daughter Sunday struggling to sleep through the night since she's turned one.

Detailing her stresses, the TV personality shared: 'She's been crying through the night. I know it's not the best thing but I get her in my bed as it's the only thing that calms her down.'

She attempted to offload her stress onto her doting mother Gilly, who later revealed she's set to jet off to Australia for a holiday.

After a few difficult weeks with her bundle of joy, Ferne was over-the-moon when she saw her daughter taking her first steps.

The blonde looked overjoyed as she saw her daughter tottering along, in a moment she had shared on Instagram earlier in the year.

The proud mum was getting extremely excited as she urged Sunday to take her first steps - leading to the tot proudly tottering towards her.

As she gazed at her mum in front of her, Sunday bravely pulled herself up to walk towards her mum who could barely contain herself.

Speaking after the scene, she said: 'This is actually such an amazing moment it makes me so emotional. She's growing up. Like I have a one-year-old who took her first step. This is crazy'.

She was then seen enjoying a playdate at TOWIE co-star Mario and his fiancée Becky Miesner's house with her daughter and his son Parker, five months.

While she revealed that both Charlie and their former co-star Liam had asked her out, Mario responded: 'I like Charlie but I don't think he's going to be like father figure, I think he'll be cool for now...

'I like him when we met him the other night I sat and spoke to him all night' - although Mario warned he could see the blond hunk was a playboy.

He pushed: 'I felt like a c**k block. I was asking him his intentions. From what I used to be of course he's a playboy! I can see it a mile off.'

While rocking Sunday to sleep, Ferne praised Mario and Becky's strong relationship and compared their family unit to her status as a single parent.

However, she later went on to gush over the perks of being a mum: 'She's just my world, she's my priority. Every decision moving forward, I have to think about the both of us.'

After the First Time Mum star gave birth to baby daughter Sunday in November last year, Ferne McCann has already slimmed down into fantastic shape.

In recent weeks, the 27 year old has been showing off her fantastic figure with a series of saucy selfies, after enlisting the help of a personal trainer and changing her diet.

Her most recent Instagram upload left fans picking up their jaws from the floor, as she showcased her trim midriff in a crop top and leggings.

So as the This Morning presenter continues to display her flat stomach and toned limbs, we take a look at just how she has bounced back into her incredible figure.

Exercise

The new mum had the help of former fellow The Only Way Is Essex star Dan Osborne in trimming down, and recently shared a snap of the epic results.

At the same time, Jacqueline Jossa's husband took to his own social media profile to share Ferne's before and after results, after he advised her through a 30 day fitness challenge.

Dan captioned the shot with: "#motivationmonday Well done to team mate and good friend @fernemccann @fernutrition for her 30 Day Challenge progress. You are looking a million and should be so proud of yourself."

Ferne also revealed to OK! Online in a recent chat that she stayed alive throughout her pregnancy, meaning her muscle memory kicked in after she gave birth and returned to the gym.

Breastfeeding

The mum of one has also credited breastfeeding her baby girl in aiding her weight loss, previously telling us: "I think breastfeeding has really helped me get back into shape and it helps with the baby weight loss."

Vanessa Christie, Lactation Consultant and Expert Speaker at The Baby Show then explained that breastfeeding helps contract the uterus more quickly down to its pre-pregnancy size. The process of breastfeeding also helps to burn 200-500 calories per day.

Dietary supplements

Pal Danielle Armstrong has also been helping the reality TV star, advising she drinks Herbalife shakes throughout - and following - her pregnancy.

Ferne often gushes about how the shakes have helped her, not just in losing weight, but in providing her with more energy and giving her the vitamins she needs.

On the Herbalife website it is recommended pregnant women speak to their health care provider about their dietary needs before taking a nutrition and dietary supplement.

Her transformation after giving birth to Sunday did not go unnoticed by the press.  Links back to “something besides motherhood” and the pressure for celebrity mothers to snap back into shape. Ferne is successful at meeting this expectation but recreates herself as an unattainable ideal for her fans, she is a “celebrity” and achieves the unachievable. Not everyone can afford products that she uses to attain such an image, and yet the awe she recieves opens up a new business venture for her.

Ferne and her jungle friend Vicky are the eye candy of the jungle in the 2015 series. The social pressures to look acceptable in  bikini are acknowledge by both of them as they appear to have prepared for these shots. Ferne knows the demanding expectations of her appearance, and conforms to these.

Stripped back of her usual makeup and fashion trends, she comes across as completely natural and a relateable/achieveable ideal for young women. However she has the money to afford the best products and even to have work done- something that her fans cannot. In this programme she appears more 'ordinary', closing the gap between her celebrity image and a regular person.

Many celebrities use this show when their career is dwindling, but for Ferne it projected her into new career oppertunities.

The Sun revealed Arthur Collins is wanted in connection with the attack at Mangle nightclub where terrified victims were doused with a corrosive substance.

A representative for Ferne has confirmed the star was not at Mangle nightclub on April 17 and was not involved in the attack in any way.

In a statement, the rep said: "Ferne is aware that the police wish to speak to Arthur Collins and the nature of the accusations against him.

"Obviously these are highly shocking and Ferne has co-operated with the police in their inquiries. She was not with Arthur on Sunday night; was not at Mangle; and has no direct knowledge of the events that unfolded.

"As much as anybody she wants to know the truth and urges Arthur to co-operate fully with the police and attend a police station immediately."

News Arthur is wanted in connection with the attack came on the same day Ferne revealed the pair planned to tie the knot - and defended his controversial past.

The pair got back together in March - after first calling it quits last summer following a trip to Ibiza.

Police executed an arrest warrant at the suspect's £1million home and allegedly discovered illegal firearms and a cannabis farm.

An official statement from Metropolitan Police read: "Arthur Collins, 25, of Hertfordshire is wanted for questioning by police. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact with investigators. He should not be approached by members of the public. If seen the public are advised to call 999 immediately.

A male suspect was still wanted as the victims recovered from burns suffered in the brawl, including two with serious injuries.

A source told The Sun the confrontation broke out at the Mangle E8 club in Dalston, East London, at 1am on Monday.

Witnesses told how victims were hit by liquid they thought was water at first before it started burning their flesh.

Stars including Towie's Lydia-Rose Bright were present at the club but left before the fight broke out

Her relationships are the "staple of gossip columns", coherence between her private and public life must continue after being on reality tv.

FERNE McCann has revealed her plans for her dream beach wedding, as she counts down the days until she moves in with new boyfriend Arthur Collins.

The couple, who recently rekindled their on-off romance after Ferne failed to find love on Celebs Go Dating, are taking their relationship to the next step following a whirlwind few weeks.

And Ferne is keen to hurry their future together along, as she told OK! magazine: "We spend every night together anyway. Moving in is definitely the next step. And I know that seems a bit rushed, but when you know, you know.

"Arthur is moving in the day after I get the keys! I get them on May 5, he'll move in on May 6 So I just need 24 hours to settle in and put my stuff down."

It seems nothing is off the cards now, as they have also planned their wedding in the future.

Ferne added: "We've spoken about our wedding. We want to get married on a beach. I want it to be a party and a celebration. I want these long extensions, mermaid-style hair covering my boobs, with flowers in my hair and no shoes.

"He can wear shorts and a shirt undone, then we want an amazing DJ with bongos and a saxophonist. Lobster brioche buns - just so unconventional.

"I want to be in the best shape of my life and I'd love to wear a backless wedding dress. I've been told that I have a great back."

Ferne recently wrapped filming with Celebs Go Dating, and was seen going on a string of disastrous dates in front of the cameras.

But Arthur chose not to watch the scenes play out, admitting he often felt "jealous".

And Ferne rushed to defend her man, who has been branded a 'bad boy' after he was filmed with laughing gas in his car recently.

"He's a very good boy. Those Facebook posts [Arthur posted about class-A drugs] were nine years ago. We all did silly things when we were teenagers," she told the mag.

FURIOUS victims of Arthur Collins's brutal acid attack have slammed his ex Ferne McCann saying she is "cashing in on their misery" after she released a TV show about her pregnancy.

Viewers watched the TOWIE star sob last night on Ferne McCann: First Time Mum as she described her life since Collins's arrest as "hell, absolute hell."

Two victims caught up in the horror have now expressed their opinion on the show and accused the star of "completely disrespecting" them.

Phoebe Georgiou, 23, blasted: "How can she say she's suffering when she doesn't have to live with these physical and mental scars forever?

"This is all so fresh and it's like rubbing salt on an open wound.

"She has disregarded our feelings. We are the real victims."

Ferne, gave birth to Collins's baby, Sunday, last month and ITVBe viewers were given an insight into how she has been coping since splitting from the thug.

Fashion student Phoebe, 23, told Sun Online: "At least give us the respect and consideration of not releasing the show until sentencing is over.

"We have been through enough without this adding to our anxieties. She's making money from our misery.

"I just burst into tears when I found out she was doing it. I even complained to ITV.

"I would maybe understand her doing it months after the sentencing because it's her job to expose herself but why do it now?

"Since April 17 my life changed and was put on hold. I have to live everyday remembering the trauma and pain that I went through and still go through.

"I have to look in the mirror everyday and see what damage he has caused."

Phoebe isn't the only victim to slam Ferne for the show, which showed her giving birth and later sobbing as she spoke of life as a single mother.

One, who asked not to be named over fears of a backlash from the reality TV star's fans, told Sun Online: "How can she sit there and say it's hell?

"She's not blind, or plastered in scars like some of us. She's making money out of this, it's all just me, me, me.

"Every time her face pops up, I think of Arthur Collins.

"It's not her fault, but she's not gone onto TV and said sorry to the victims.

"She put someone like him in the spotlight."

A source close to Ferne denied she was profiting from the attack.

Collins was convicted last month of carrying out an acid attack at a Dalston nightclub.

The horrifying events of that night were one of Britain's worst ever acid attacks, with more than a dozen innocent revellers injured.

Phoebe was celebrating her birthday when Collins launched the substance over crowds on the packed dancefloor.

She said: "I looked up and I could literally see thick liquid just flying through the air and it was steaming.

"I thought 'What is this? Is this a terrorist attack? What's happening?'

"It was toxic. I couldn't breathe, it was choking my airways and I looked down and my top was sizzling through to my skin.

"I felt liquid drench my entire chest and arm and it burnt through my chest. It started eating my skin."

After Collins was found guilty, Ferne visited him in prison with Sunday - telling the thug "this is the last time you'll see us."

She said in a statement after Collins was convicted: "Ferne's thoughts are of course with the innocent people caught up in the events at Mangle last April. No-one should ever be faced with violence on a night out.

"Having given birth a month ago, Ferne is focusing on being the best mother she can be.

"She long ago accepted that she would be doing this alone and is determined to provide the best possible future for her daughter."

Collins is due to be sentenced on December 19.

A spokesperson for ITV said: "Ferne McCann: First Time Mum was about the trials and tribulations of becoming a parent for the first time and the focus of the programme was very much on Ferne McCann and her family and friends during her pregnancy, and not her ex-partner."

Ferne's people refused to comment.

Arthur Collins acid attack victim slams Ferne McCann over her new TV show

The decisions she makes regarding her child are under public scrutiny. In this instance she doesn’t meet her persona's expectations, being associated with a criminal could be damaging for her image. This is now something she has stopped doing, instead allowing Arthur’s family to take Sunday to visit him, thus protecting her image.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5369514/ferne-mccann-arthur-collins-baby-belmarsh-prison-visits-acid-attack-court/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
FERNE McCann's baby has been taken to visit acid attack thug Arthur Collins despite her claiming 'he won't see either of us again'.

In a hearing at Wood Green Crown Court, Collins' lawyer Rebecca Randall confirmed baby Sunday has been taken to high-security Belmarsh prison by his grandmother.

The ex-Towie star claimed in November she'd told evil Collins "this is the last time you will see either of us" after taking Sunday for a first and last visit to the prison.

Earlier today we reported that Ferne had been taking baby Sunday to prison to see Collins, after his barrister apparently told a court: "That child is now two months old and occasionally visits him with its mother and his sister."

Ferne completely denied this and it was claimed the barrister had actually said Sunday had been taken to prison by Collins' mother and sister.

Collins was handed a further eight months in jail for smuggling a mobile phone into prison, his lawyer told the court Ferne had been to see him on various occasions.

Barrister Rebecca Randall said: "The only reason Mr Collins had that phone was to contact, privately, his girlfriend and friends and family.

"His girlfriend at the time was heavily pregnant with his first child."

The lawyer also claimed that Arthur felt he had to use a personal phone for fear that calls taken on the prison phone were being leaked to the media.

Referring to a conversation he claims to have had with Ferne about baby names, Rebecca told the court: "He had a conversation with his girlfriend and it appeared in the press a little time later."

The reality star claimed she told Collins "this is the last time you will see us" when she visited him at Belmarsh shortly after their daughter's birth in November.

She told The Sunday People at the time: "I went to see Arthur and I took Sunday with me.

"This was because I am very angry about what has happened and I needed to communicate that and wanted to hear what Arthur had to say.

"I thought it was important that Arthur see Sunday and see exactly what his actions have led to him missing out on."

The pair had an on-off relationship for a year before Collins went on the run following the acid attack that left 16 people injured.

She posted pictures on social media app Instagram of them on holiday together in Dubai before the incident.

Ferne today released a statement to "set the record straight" claiming she had only been to visit Collins once in jail.

She tweeted: "As I have already made clear I visited him once and I have not been to see him since."

Ferne continued: "Again and for absolute clarity, I do not in anyway condone the actions that took place in Mangle in April 2017.

"Nobody should be faced with violence on a night out and the victims have my fullest sympathy."

Collins was slammed by a judge as a "despicable liar" as he was caged for 20 years in December for the horror nightclub attack that left clubbers scarred for life.

The thug winked at his family who called back "love you Arthur" as he was led from the dock at Wood Green Crown Court to begin his sentence.

The 25-year-old branded the attack at Mangle E8 in Dalston on April 17 while Ferne was heavily pregnant a "stupid little mistake".

But sentencing him for 20 years with an extended five years on licence, Judge Noel Lucas QC said Collins was "an accomplished and calculating liar" who has not "demonstrated the slightest remorse".

Collins, who showed no emotion as he was sentenced, had been confronted by his tearful victims during the hearing - with one saying "imagine it was your daughter".

The thug, who had been out celebrating after discovering Ferne, 27, was pregnant with baby daughter Sunday, had admitted throwing the liquid but said he did not know it was acid.

He told Wood Green Crown Court he thought it was a date rape drug and had snatched it from two men after overhearing them planning to spike a girl's drink.

But jurors saw through his lies and he was convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent and nine counts of actual bodily harm on 14 victims.

Ferne was slammed by acid attack victims in December who accused her of "cashing in on their misery" after she released a TV show about her pregnancy.

Viewers watched the TOWIE star sob on Ferne McCann: First Time Mum as she described her life since Collins's arrest as "hell, absolute hell."

She said in a statement after Collins was convicted: "Ferne's thoughts are of course with the innocent people caught up in the events at Mangle last April. No-one should ever be faced with violence on a night out.

"Having given birth a month ago, Ferne is focusing on being the best mother she can be.

"She long ago accepted that she would be doing this alone and is determined to provide the best possible future for her daughter."

Collins will now serve a further eight months in jail after admitting smuggling a phone, chargers and sim cards were found inside a crutch.

Two USB sticks were also found to be concealed in the handle at HMP Thameside on September 10.

Collins was on crutches for months after breaking both ankles jumping from a window when police arrested him in April.

Her behaviour at the NTA's didn't go unnoticed by the media, according to sources the police were involved for her actions regarding throwing her drink at Adam Collard. This is a 'falling down frame' of her celebrity image as she is likening herself to her ex. Again the article refers back to Arthur, showing that she cannot escape her past, and also how her actions flout the acceptable behaviour of a mother.

FERNE McCann is back in the news as she is reportedly being investigated by police for throwing a drink in Adam Collard's face.

Here's the lowdown on and the row she got into at the NTAs with the Love Island star...

What happened between Ferne McCann and Adam Collard?

Ferne McCann is being investigated over an allegation of assault after throwing a drink in Love Island's Adam Collard face in a heated row at the National Television Awards after he reportedly called her a "pathetic little s**g".

Police were called to the O2 Arena in London on Tuesday night after mum-of-one Ferne, 28, lost her rag and chucked the whole cup at Adam, 22.

The row then escalated as she appeared to push the plastic container towards the face of the Geordie personal trainer 's face, after a vicious war of words as they entered the NTAs after-party.

Ferne was later questioned by police, who said she was not arrested at the scene but that "enquiries continue."

Adam's girlfriend Zara McDermott has claimed that she's been targeted by trolls following the incident.

According to the Mirror, Zara shared a screen grab of the type of nasty messages she had received and wrote: "Getting sent tweets like this."

Making a series of claims, she added: "Imagine someone threw alcohol in your eyes...what would you do?? If you had done nothing wrong and you simply stood up for someone who was being bullied?

When was Ferne McCann's baby born?

On November 2, Ferne revealed on Instagram that she had welcomed her daughter Sunday into the world a week ahead of her due date.

She shared a picture of the sleeping tot - with her head cropped out of the shot - on the social media site with a string of heart emojis.

Ferne captioned the touching shot: "Wellcome to the world my darling. Didn't expect to see you a week early. I'm so in love & bursting with pride. It's a girl [sic]".

The reality star will raise the baby alone following her split from ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins.

Is Arthur Collins the baby's father and why did they split?

The Sun Online revealed Arthur and Towie star Ferne were first getting cosy together back in June 2016 - however, they split last summer following a trip to Ibiza.

They rekindled their romance in March after Ferne failed to find love on reality show Celebs Go Dating.

The Towie star told her now ex-lover she was having his child just before he was arrested for the Dalston nightclub attack.

Ferne subsequently released a statement confirming the pregnancy and that she had split from Arthur.

The Sun Online revealed in late May that despite the split the pair were back in touch as "they feel there are things to discuss" - but there was no intention of the romance being rekindled.

What happened to Arthur Collins?

On November 13 2017, Arthur was found guilty of carrying out the acid attack in the packed London nightclub.

He is now serving a lengthy prison sentence.

Has baby Sunday been taken to see Arthur in prison?

The Sun revealed how Ferne's baby had been taken to visit Arthur in jail, despite her saying that he will never "see either of us again".

In a hearing at Wood Green Crown Court, Collins' lawyer Rebecca Randall confirmed baby Sunday has been taken to high-security Belmarsh prison by his grandmother.

The ex-Towie star claimed in November she'd told evil Collins "this is the last time you will see either of us" after taking Sunday for a first and last visit to the prison.

We reported that Ferne had been taking baby Sunday to prison to see Collins after his barrister apparently told a court: "That child is now two months old and occasionally visits him with its mother and his sister."

Ferne completely denied this and it was claimed the barrister had actually said Sunday had been taken to prison by Collins' mother and sister.

In April 2018, Ferne was pictured taking baby Sunday to see her daddy in prison despite previously vowing that he would never see her again.

A source told The Sun Online: "Ferne went to visit Arthur because it is his legal right to see Sunday.

"She is doing it because she has to. Not because she wants to.

What is Ferne McCann's backstory?

Ferne McCann is a 27-year-old television personality who came to fame as one of the leading cast members of Towie.

She joined the cast of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2015, and was well-received by the public thanks to her close bond with eventual winner Vicky Pattison and runner-up George Shelley.

Since then, Vicky and Ferne have reunited to host segments for This Morning, something Ferne continues to do alone.

They also had their own show called, Ferne and Vicky: On The Road which followed the girls on a road trip to the Amalfi coast.

Defined as 'a single mum', and yet she still goes on nights out with friends. Multi-tasking, fun personality. 'There is nothing that she can't do', she manages to uphold the young and fun image whilst being a mother.  Defined in this article as an 'outspoken brunette', even though she is currently blonde- a subtle reminder that it is fake. She hasn't fully evolved from her TOWIE days.

Ferne McCann cuts a glum figure in a fluffy coat as she enjoys girls' night out with BFF Danielle Armstrong

They've been the best of friends for years and used to appear on TOWIE together.

And Ferne McCann was spending some quality time with her BFF Danielle Armstrong on a girls' night out on Saturday.

The 28-year-old single mother - who raises one-year-old daughter Sunday - was spotted in the smoking area of Sumosan Twiga Restaurant and Bar with Danielle.

Ferne was seen taking a breather from the festivities on her phone, while Danielle was puffing on a cigarette beside her.

The outspoken brunette looked super glamorous for her night on the town, donning a giant fluffy coat.

She went bare-legged, adding some extra height to her frame thanks to a pair of silver stilettos.

Ferne completed her look with a dazzling diamante handbag to match her fancy footwear.

Danielle, meanwhile, appeared to be having some time out as she chatted on the phone.

Dressed in a paisley print wrap dress with a blazer style collar, she slipped a pair of coordinating scarlet shoes on her feet and carried her essentials in a small designer bag.

The girls had been celebrating their stylist pal Ellis Ranson's birthday, joined by a host of gal pals.

They toasted their friend with a fun-filled pre-drinks session before heading on to a lavish dinner.

They appeared to be having a whale of a time at the fun-filled dinner, sharing snaps and videos from inside the event.

Speaking in the series three opener of Ferne McCann: First Time Mum on Wednesday, Ferne was unhappy with her make-up artist Mikey Phillips for telling her about the rumours surrounding her appearance.

'You know what he said to me recently, he said his girls are saying, "Ferne looks amazing but has she had lots of work done?"'

Speaking to the camera, she said: 'I'd tell you if I went under the knife. I'm not one to not tell you. Everyone knows I had a nose job.'

She then confirmed she has only had two procedures done.

She said: 'I'm setting the record straight. I've tightened my teeth and I had a nose job,' before adding: 'And I get my eyebrows threaded. That's it.'

Ferne then ranted to her viewers: 'It's p***ing me off that everyone keeps saying I've had surgery. Like wow, what have I had done? I want to put these rumours to bed guys. This is au naturale.'

Cheeky voiceover Rylan Clark-Neal then replied: 'I believe you Ferne - millions wouldn't.'

Meanwhile, Ferne recently admitted that she while she wants her reality series to be genuine; there are certain topics, like Sunday's dad Arthur Collin's 2017 acid attack , she will keep private.

'I like to show reality on my show and the good times and bad. I want people to see me as genuine,' Ferne said.

'But when I have to have that conversation with Sunday and explain certain things, it will be a private thing,' she told Closer magazine.

Pinned tweet is her fitness video, the first thing that viewers will see. Wanting to uphold an impression of a 'fit mum', appealing to an audience of mothers and the younger generation (motivation for what they wish themselves to be like). This has evolved from her TOWIE days, matured social media alongside her matured persona.
