Sobbing Ferne McCann offered support after 'hurtful' voice notes as she mourns Billie Faiers friendship

Ferne McCann has been shown support after she was seen breaking down into tears as she reacted to the 'hurtful' voice notes which were leaked at the end of last year. Ferne McCann: First Time Mum returned to ITVBe on Wednesday night (March 15) and they were quick to address the scandal that hit the headlines back in November.

An anonymous Instagram account posted a series of voice messages from a woman they claimed was Ferne. The audio messages reportedly featured the 32-year-old talking about the victims of her ex Arthur Collins, who was given a 20-year jail sentence in December 2017 for carrying out an acid attack in a packed nightclub. Sixteen people suffered chemical burn injuries and three people were temporarily blinded in the attack.

Also in November, Ferne apologised to acid attack victim Sophie Hall after claiming voice messages leaked online were "manipulated and edited". The reality TV star said she felt she had “no choice” but to address the audio messages in which she allegedly called Ms Hall ugly and stupid.
