FAMILY TIME: 'I feel content and in a good place - I was so different before I became a mum'

Reality TV star Ferne McCann on motherhood, marriage and being inspired by her children

- BEX MAY

Ferne McCann is back on our screens, spinning plates with her usual honesty and humour - and this time, she says, she's doing it with more confidence than ever.

The reality star first took us on her motherhood journey in First Time Mum back in 2017.

Now, seven years later, the 34-year-old - proud mum to Sunday, six, and 14-month-old Finty - is sharing the ups and downs of her busy life in the 13th series of her hit show, Ferne McCann: My Family & Me.

Having Finty, Ferne admits to OK! when we catch up with her, led to her reflecting on all the milestones she lived first time round with Sunday. "It feels like yesterday. When we celebrated Finty's first birthday this summer it was crazy, because it was a throwback to when I experienced those moments with Sunday." Ferne went all out for Finty's birthday, throwing a lavish fairy-themed party. "I always say I'll have a little soiree for close friends and family, but then it gets out of hand because I just love hosting."

As a mum-of-two, things feel similar, she reflects, but also different. "I'm more relaxed in this part of my motherhood journey - I'm more confident." There may even be more first birthdays to come, as Ferne shares, "I quite fancy having another big gap, and then, if I'm lucky enough to have another baby nearer to when I'm 40 - which actually isn't that far away... never say never. I don't feel done!"
