Ferne McCann 'pregnant': Former TOWIE star 'expecting first child' with fiancé Lorri

Ferne McCann is said to be pregnant with her second child, which will be her first with fiancé Lorri Haines, according to reports.

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Ferne, 32, celebrated her one year anniversary with Lorri earlier this week with a sweet post – and now the pair are said to be preparing to welcome a child together.

Ferne gushed over her fiance as she shared a series of sweet photos of the pair together.

She wrote in the caption: "Celebrating our one year anniversary.

"I’ve learnt so much about love since being in this relationship. Perhaps before I had a warped idea of what love actually was."

Now, it has been claimed Ferne is "over the moon" by the pregnancy.

Ferne is already a mum to daughter Sunday while Lorri also has a son from a previous relationship.

A source told The Sun: "Ferne is over the moon. From the moment she met Lorri she knew she wanted to marry him and have his kids.

"They're both ready to commit and are looking forward to their future together."

It comes after Ferne and Lorri announced their engagement in July last year.

"So happily ever afters do exist. I cannot wait to do forever with you baby," she wrote in the caption.

The couple began dating last year and went public with their romance in February.

Ferne has been smitten ever since and has shared plans to build a future with Lorri.

The reality star is said to be setting her sights on a low-key wedding, which could be abroad.

A source told OK! magazine: "While Ferne has said to friends that of course every girl dreams about that huge, big wedding, she is at the stage now where she just wants her nearest and dearest there.

"She may go abroad but she is wanting to keep it a bit more low-key and much more intimate and focus on the friends and family that she’ll have there."

It has been a whirlwind year for Ferne as she was recently accused of making a series of comments in alleged leaked voice notes.

A series of voicenotes were leaked by an anonymous Instagram account, appearing to allegedly depict Ferne making comments about her pals Sam and Billie Faiers.

It had been alleged Ferne called Sam a "fat c****" and "narcissistic b***h" while she had later allegedly discussed her pal Billie naming her child Arthur – which is the same name as Ferne's jailed ex Arthur Collins

Later, another voicenote allegedly depicting Ferne making comments about one of Arthur Collins' acid attack victims.

It was claimed she called Ms Hall, who was scarred for life during the acid attack by Collins at a London nightclub in 2017, a "silly b***h" and "ugly" for wearing a papier mache dress made of newspaper cuttings for a beauty pageant.

Ferne later confessed she he said "things that are untrue" but said her words came out of fear and claimed how the voicenotes had been "manipulated" in a statement.

In a statement shared with her 2.9 million Instagram followers, Ferne said: "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.

"I feel I have no choice but to address these (to the extent that I can as there are restrictions on me which I explain below).

"Most importantly I want to apologise to all the victims of Arthur Collins's 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."
