Ferne McCann has revealed that she took newborn daughter Sunday to visit ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins, in prison after he was found guilty of carrying out an acid attack in a nightclub in east London.
The former TOWIE star has opened up to Sunday People about taking her two week old daughter to see the convicted felon at Belmarsh Prison.
She said: "I went to see Arthur and I took Sunday with me. This was because I am very angry about what has happened and I needed to communicate that and wanted to hear what Arthur had to say.
"I thought it was important that Arthur see Sunday and see exactly what his actions have led to him missing out on.
Ferne added: "I strongly feel for the innocent people hurt that night and I in no way condone violence as I have already made clear. It was a difficult decision to take Sunday into that environment but I felt I needed to confront him about a number of things, which I have now done."
Collins was convicted of five counts of grievous bodily harm with intent and nine of actual bodily harm after his attack on club goers in Dalston. He will be sentenced on 19th December.
A friend of Ferne also spoke to the publication and said: "Ferne was very, very angry, she was absolutely furious and gave Arthur a piece of her own mind.
"She showed him his child and said that he would never see her again. That he had caused so much pain and that he was missing out on a life with baby Sunday. It was a heartbreaking meeting but Ferne needed to get closure."
The 27-year-old presenter gave birth at the beginning of November and has accepted that she will be raising her daughter on her own.
It looks like she's taken to motherhood with ease and we can't wait to see more pictures of little Sunday.
