Ferne McCann says fiancé is 'best thing that's ever happened to me' after jailbird ex

Ferne McCann has said that her fiancé Lorri Haines is "the best thing that's ever happened" to her, apart from becoming a mother.

The reality TV star, 31, is newly-engaged to the real estate agent, 30 - with Ferne having previously spoken about her plans to marry Lorri after meeting him earlier this year.

The Only Way is Essex alum - who has a four-year-old daughter Sunday from a previous relationship - expressed some of her feelings about her fiancé in a new video.

In the clip, shared on Instagram yesterday, she told her partner directly: "Can I tell you something? You are, apart from Sunday, the best thing that's ever happened to me."

The I'm a Celebrity finalist made the admission while the couple walked through a car park together, with her adding about her fiancé in the clip: "I love his curly golden locks".

The remark comes less than two weeks after Ferne shared news of her engagement to Lorri - having announced it to her 2.9 million followers on the platform earlier this month.

Alongside a photo of her kissing Lorri whilst wearing an engagement ring, she had written: "So happily ever afters do exist. I cannot wait to do forever with you baby."

And just days later it was reported that Ferne's ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins - who is the father of her daughter Sunday - had also got engaged recently to his latest partner.

Arthur is currently serving a 20 year prison sentence after he was found guilty of throwing acid on a crowd in a nightclub back in 2017.

Ferne has been open in the past about being a single mother, with her having more recently discussed what it's like for her during the summer holidays when Summer is off school.

Taking to social media yesterday, Ferne said she is "massively juggling" her daughter being off school whilst being a working mum - with her sharing some activities they've done.

She said: "Just setting her up with the activities throughout the summer holidays. We've had bubbles in the garden, we've been doing some planting sunflower seeds."

Ferne said they have also been doing exercises and going swimming, adding: "Just trying to fill the days whilst still working is definitely a struggle but we move."
