Ferne McCann - ‘You Need Time Away From Children'

As her daughter celebrates her first birthday, Ferne McCann reveals how becoming a mum has changed her life

- Hayley Minn

Former TOWIE star Ferne McCann has been through a rollercoaster of a year. She became a mother to her little girl Sunday, who turns one on 2 November, and has completely embraced life as a single mum. But at the start of October, Sunday’s father Arthur Collins lost his plea against a 20-year jail sentence for a nightclub acid attack, which left 16 people with chemical burns and three temporarily blinded. Nevertheless, she’s getting on with things the best she can. As we catch up with Ferne at the ITV Palooza event, she’s just greeted Sam Faiers with a big hug, proving they’re very much friends again after their public spat, and she tells us how she almost stopped her neighbour Gemma Collins from making it to the event...

Hi, Ferne! It seems like you and Sam Faiers are friends once again...

I think with the picture we put out on Instagram from Billie Faiers’ hen do, it just spoke for itself. We’re good as gold now.

Did you have a good time at the hen do?

It was unbelievable, so much fun. It was just the best!

Did you find it hard being away from Sunday though?
