Ferne McCann has apologised to acid attack victim Sophie Hall after claiming voice messages leaked online were “manipulated and edited”. The reality TV star, 32, said she felt she had “no choice” but to address the audio messages in which she allegedly called Ms Hall ugly and stupid.
In a statement released on Instagram, she wrote: “I am aware that people will have a number of questions about the voice messages being put into the public domain and purportedly sent by me. Most importantly I want to apologise to all the victims of Arthur Collins' abhorrent actions in 2017 that they have to relive that night and the pain that followed because this matter is again in the public domain.
“In particular I want to apologise to Sophie Hall. I do not believe her to be ugly or stupid. She has been brave beyond belief. Arthur Collins’ crimes created genuine victims so I am not trying to portray myself as one.”
