It’s been just two years since TOWIE's Ferne McCann got engaged to Lorri Haines, and 16 months since the couple welcomed their daughter Finty.
But last week, fans were shocked when split reports emerged claiming the former TOWIE star, 34, had called it quits with her fiancé, who’d popped the question back in 2022 just seven months after they began dating.
But with parenting taking up so much time for Ferne – who also shares daughter Sunday, six, from a previous relationship with jailed acid attacker Arthur Collins – she recently admitted that her wedding plans had been put on pause.
And viewers had speculated that a split could be on the horizon after watching Ferne and Lorri argue on her reality show ITVBe My Family & Me. So when Ferne was pictured not wearing her engagement ring during dance rehearsals for Dancing On Ice, rumours grew that they were on the rocks.
Yet fans were left scratching their heads when Ferne – was was mired in scandal in 2022 when leaked voice notes of her apparently calling former pal Sam Faiers a ‘fat c**t’ as well as dubbing a victim of ex Arthur’s acid attack a ‘f***ing ugly c**t’ – denied the split rumours. In a video filmed during skating practise, she told her fans, ‘I have had about ten texts from my friends and family in the last five minutes to ask if Lorri and I have split up.
‘We haven’t. I am just as miffed. We are still very much together, living together, we are even back in the same bed.’
