Ferne McCann says she wants beach wedding abroad as she stands by her man

Ferne McCann has big dreams for a wedding in the sun with her beau Lorri Haines.

The former TOWIE star is standing by her man after he faced scandal over an old video of him with mysterious powder resurfaced online and he issued a public apology.

Putting it all behind her, mum-of-one Ferne is looking towards the future and says she's finally met the man she wants to walk down the aisle with.

And when she does, she's hoping to have a big day just like the one her pal Billie Faiers had when she married beau Greg Shepherd in the Maldives.

She told Closer magazine: "I would love to get married and I think about it all the time. I have never thought about marriage until now really, because I have met someone now that I would genuinely marry."

Adding that she'd love to have a big day just like friend Billie's, she said: "I am a summer baby. So my wedding would definitely be abroad, like Billie's."

It comes after Lorri, who has been dating Ferne since January, was seen appearing to snort powder in an old photo online and showing off a powder in an old video.

Issuing a grovelling apology, he said the photo and video did not reflect the person he is today.

He shared on Instagram : "In light of the videos circulating of me from a destructive time in my life. I want you to hear this directly from me.

"I want to start this by saying how sorry I am that my past actions are bringing pain to the people I love most in my life now. It is unfair to that something I did a long time ago impacts them.

"I have spent years turning my life around, to be someone I can be proud of. I changed my lifestyle for the better a long time ago but like most people, I have made stupid mistakes, done things I am not proud of. I never thought these actions could possibly hurt anyone else either.

"These things do not reflect the person I am today."

He added: "Whilst I can’t undo the past, I can only continue to strive to be a better person and learn from past mistakes. The latest videos are from a long time, I could never know then the harm they would cause me and more importantly the people in my life now.

"For that I am deeply sorry."

Ferne, who is standing by Lorri, has been incredibly open about her complicated romantic history.

In 2017, her then-boyfriend Arthur Collins was arrested for an acid attack in an East London nightclub.

She was pregnant with her daughter Sunday at the time.

Arthur was sentenced to 20 years behind bars, and Ferne later opened up about what she went through because of his actions.

She said on her show First Time Mum: "You find out you're pregnant, you're so excited - and then your whole life and world is turned upside down.

"It was like absolute hell."
