As I delve into the captivating tale of Ferne McCann, a woman who has courageously navigated the tumultuous waters of reality television, I can’t help but be awestruck by her resilience and grace. For seven years, we’ve watched as she transformed from a single mother-to-be to a loving fiancé and proud parent of two beautiful children.


On another day, Ferne McCann devoted all her attention to mastering her dance steps during a challenging session of “Dancing On Ice” training in Manchester.

On a chilly Friday, the ex-TOWIE celebrity, aged 34, focused on maintaining her stability while gliding about the ice rink, clad in her skates.

On television, the beloved sportsperson donned a lavender sweater and shielded from cold with a puffy, sleeveless gray coat.

She stayed cozy wearing black leggings and coordinating gloves while she was captured practicing her routines prior to her upcoming appearance on the popular ITV program, set to air in January.

Previously known I’m A Celebrity contestant effortlessly glided across the ice, spinning gracefully while maintaining her footing, expressing doubts about making it stage-ready for future performances.

At the Pride of Britain Awards on Monday, the celebrity opened up about her concerns regarding participating in the ITV competition, sharing her apprehensions with TopMob.

Ferne said candidly: ‘Everyone has said to me “Oh can you ice skate?” and I’ve found it a really difficult question to answer. No I can’t ice skate, I’ve done the odd Winter Wonderland with Sunday.

Typically, I find myself leaning over a penguin, attempting to help her stay upright. It requires quite some effort, even though I’m used to working out. This is an entirely new situation that presents a significant challenge.

Now that my two-week ice skating training is well on its way, I find it incredibly enjoyable as I pick up this exciting new talent!

The celebrity from reality TV stated, “It’s tough for me. Watching videos on YouTube and browsing the Dancing on Ice Instagram makes me feel distracted. Instead, I prefer to concentrate one day at a time, as looking ahead tends to upset my focus.

In my current state, it’s hard for me to visualize how I’ll make things ready for a live demonstration. It just seems beyond my grasp at the moment.

Ferne explained that she’s balancing parenting well as the training only takes up two hours per day, five days a week. 

She commented: ‘Sunday’s in school you know, my mum has Finty so its quite a nice balance and I get to train at Chelmsford ice rink so it’s local.’

She shared insights on her choice to conclude the long-standing reality show titled “My Family And Me.

Ferne, best known for her regular appearances on The Only Way Is Essex with Shepherd, has documented her journey from pregnancy and single parenthood to engaged mother-of-two in ITVBe shows First Time Mum and, more recently, My Family And Me. 

However, the television celebrity disclosed in September that they had decided to end their relationship with fiancé Lorri Haines and their 6-year-old daughter Sunday, who is also her child from a previous relationship with Arthur Collins, after making the tough choice.

At the Pride of Britain Awards, when speaking only with TopMob, Ferne expressed: “I don’t talk about this often, but after the recent episode, I can hardly hold back the tears.

For nearly seven years, this significant aspect of my life has been present, and it brings me profound sadness to see its conclusion. However, deep within me, I sensed that this choice was the appropriate one.

I’ve pondered over it since the start of the year, and this choice is specifically tailored for Sundays and our kids.

I find myself expressing: “In her second year, I can’t help but not desire for her to arrive home from school and immediately start filming.

She should forge her unique journey through life, as this is all she has ever been accustomed to. I’m not particularly skilled at handling conclusions, but it seems like the most appropriate choice for her.

Last month, she shared the news with her Instagram fans that after a remarkable run of 13 seasons, she has taken the challenging step to make this season of “@fernemyfamandme” her final one.

Let me start by expressing heartfelt gratitude to every one of you who has tuned in to my program and accompanied us along our family’s adventure.

For the past seven years, this program has been an extraordinary journey in my life, full of ups and downs. From filming while I was pregnant with Sunday to now, it’s been quite a rollercoaster ride! Your unwavering support and devotion towards me and my family have at moments given me more strength than you can imagine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

As a fervent admirer, allow me to express that since the inception of this show, I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into it, day after day. It feels as if I’ve shared laughter, tears, affection, and life itself with you all, experiencing each high and low together. Sharing Finty’s milestones and Haines’ moments has felt like part of my own journey.

‘This decision hasn’t been an easy one, but it feels like now is the right time for a change.

I took this decision, keeping my kids, particularly Sunday who’s been through the entire process with me, in consideration.

“They hold top importance for me, and Sunday has reached a stage where she’s quite independent. I wish for her to follow her unique journey and carve her own path.

As a devoted admirer myself, I want to express my profound gratitude to each and every one of you who’ve taken the time to watch our show, stand by us, and journey with us through thick and thin. From the deepest part of my heart, thank you.
