Ferne McCann now accused of slamming Billie Faiers for naming son same as jailed ex

Ferne McCann is alleged to have blasted Billie Faires for giving her son the same name as her jailed ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins in a new leaked voice note.

It comes after the former TOWIE star, 32, was accused of slamming Billie's sister Sam in recordings which were allegedly sent to a friend, just weeks after Sam gave birth to her third child, Edward.

Ferne is reported to have called her a 'fat c***' and a 'narcissistic b***h' in messages that were shared on an anonymous Instagram account earlier this week, writes The Mirror.

Now, another short voice note has been released, which appears to feature Ferne taking a swipe at pal Billie for naming her son Arthur.

Ferne said it felt 'weird' saying the child's name because of her ex Arthur Collins, the father of her daughter, Sunday, who was jailed for an acid attack.

In the voice note, Ferne allegedly says: "It feels so weird saying 'Arthur', I can't believe, it's like me having a little boy and calling him Greg, anyway, whatever."

Greg is the name of Billie's husband, with whom she shares children Nelly, eight, and Arthur, five.

The Instagram user alleged in the caption: "fernutrition invited herself and her fiancé on holiday last month with billie and greg cant stand her kids name let alone being around him. 3/39 36 to go more to be revealed on sunday."

Sam, Billie or Ferne have yet to comment publicly on the recordings.

After the voice note circulated online earlier this week, many jumped to Ferne's defence and questioned whether the notes were what they seemed.

Other fans of Ferne urged social media users to be kind, after some posted a series of snake emojis in the comments section of the TV star's Instagram.

One person said: “If you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything."

Another wrote: “You do realise everyone coming on here and trolling Ferne is just the exact same. You’re all the same for coming on here and giving her s**t too.”

“She could be talking about anyone in showbiz,” one doubtful user said.

One person pointed out it could be 'someone with a vendetta' as there's no context with the voice notes.

A Twitter user added: "That Ferne McCann voice note about Sam Faiers sounds like she's reading something, or talking about a hypothetical scenario? Context is everything!"

Another person said: "Don’t like the way they are only posting bits of the conversations, very suspicious."

Following the release of the first voice note which fat-shamed Sam, Billie and Sam's mother took to social media to defend her daughter.

Suzie Wells, 53, said the nasty message was a "complete shock" to the family, as Ferne had been a "very close friend to us all".

The Mirror has approached Billie and Ferne for comment.
