Ferne McCann is considering leaving Essex to bring her baby up away from the drama surrounding ex-boyfriend and babydaddy Arthur Collins
The last thing that any new mum-to-be needs is any sort of emotional upheaval or drama in what should be one of the happiest times of their lives.
But poor Ferne McCann has had the fortnight from hell after her boyfriend - and father of her unborn child - appeared in court yesterday to be charged with 14 counts of GBH after spraying acid in a packed club and seriously harming around 20 people.
And Ferne, who publicly confirmed her pregnancy yesterday, is now said to be considering a move away from her hometown of Essex.
According to The Sun, Ferne is said to be thinking about moving out of the area "for the sake of her child".
A source told the publication: "It's been a hell of an ordeal for her and she really needs some space to clear her head and decide what's for the best.
"A couple of people have been suggesting a bit of a clean break could be the best thing and she's taking the advice on board."
Ferne removed all traces of Arthur as soon as it came out that he was responsible for the acid attack, which took place over the Bank Holiday weekend in a club in Hackney.
She publicly appealed for him to come forward and hand himself in when he went on the run from police for a week, eventually being found in a police raid by around 30 officers at a house in Northamptonshire.
In a statement released by her spokeswoman, she said: "Obviously these are highly shocking and Ferne has co-operated with the police in their enquiries.
"She was not with Arthur on Sunday night, was not at Mangle and has no direct knowledge of the events that unfolded.
"As much as anybody she wants to know the truth and urges Arthur to co-operate fully with the police and attend a police station immediately."
Confirming her pregnancy yesterday, her spokesperson told The Mirror: "Ferne is grateful for the sympathetic way news of her pregnancy has been covered and people's support and obviously her first concern is for her child's health.
"Accordingly, she does not wish to discuss the pregnancy further given the early stage it is at and the immense strain that Ferne is currently under. Nor does she wish to discuss her ex-boyfriend who she does not recognise from the events of the last week.
"Ferne is in no way seeking sympathy for her situation and is determined to do all she can to have a happy and healthy child and face the challenges of being a single parent with all her energy.
"Her thoughts are with the victims of the horrific attack on Easter Monday."
