In this week's Closer magazine, Ferne McCann's pals have revealed that the pregnant TOWIE star will not cut her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins out of her life. Here's a preview...

Ferne McCann hasn't had the easiest pregnancy; she was forced to reveal she's pregnant with her first child after her boyfriend Arthur Collins was arrested in relation to an acid attack.

The shocking news came shortly after the former TOWIE star declared her love for her boyfriend and revealed they've already thought about their wedding and honeymoon.

WhileArthur is currently on trial for the incident, the 27-year-old mum is getting ready for the arrival of her bundle of joy later this year. Now pals have revealed that although she's no longer with her ex-boyfriend, she will not cut him out of their lives.

The source explained to Closer Magazine: "Ferne doesn't know what to think, but she won't refuse her child the right to a relationship with its dad, and accepts that Arthur will always be a part of their lives."

Ferne may have gone through the majority of her pregnancy without Arthur, but according to insiders she still plans to keep her ex involved with their unborn child. They said: "Ferne respects that Arthur is the father and has a right to be kept updated on her pregnancy."

While Arthur has been in prison, Ferne has reportedly been visiting him in prison, however the source revealed that they mostly discuss the future plans for their little one.

Arthur is currently on trial following the acid attack back in April and has revealed in court that he thought the acid was a date rape drug.

He told jurors that he took the drug off two men in the nightclub who he claims were planning on spiking a girls drink. The 25-year-old went on to claim that he had no idea the liquid was acid when he threw it, injuring more than a dozen people.

He explained: "I wanted to show them the drugs was gone so they wouldn't spike any girl's drink.

"I remember undoing the bottle and I threw it at the males," he went on to add: "I was never aware no-one was hurt or anything."

His trial continues.
