Lonely Ferne: “Everyone’s abandoning me!”
Insiders say Ferne Mccann is feeling isolated as more and more of her inner circle have cut her off
❛SHE’S STRUGGLED WITH HOW MANY OF HER FRIENDS HAVE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON HER❜
After vowing A her ex, Arthur Collins, wouldn’t be a part of their daughter’s life, Ferne Mccann made a drastic U-turn last month, revealing she was visiting him in prison – where he’s serving 20 years for carrying out an acid attack in a club last April – for the sake of five-month old Sunday.
FEELING ALONE
But insiders say most of 27-year-old Ferne’s friends have cut her out following the controversial decision and she’s been left feeling more alone than ever.
A source says, “Ferne can deal with online trolls, but she’s struggled to come to terms with how many friends seem to have turned their backs on her. Ferne knows she distanced herself from some of them during her pregnancy as she was at her lowest and was dealing with the aftermath of Arthur’s arrest with the support of her family.
“But now she’s back in a good place, she thought she’d be able to pick up where she left off and that her friends would be there again. But many of them are struggling to support her decision and finding it hard to understand why she seems to be ready to let Arthur be a part of Sunday’s life. She feels as if everyone’s abandoning her.”
Earlier this year, it was reported that Ferne had fallen out with childhood pal and former co-star Sam Faiers amid claims the Mummy Diaries star was unimpressed with her decision to visit Arthur in prison. Though Ferne later to took Twitter, saying, “Sam and I never fell out about Arthur! This is false.”
Pals say Sam’s sister Billie has been spending less time with Ferne as she’s torn between her loyalties, while the rest of her TOWIE co-stars have also drifted away.
A source says, “Initially, everyone rallied around Ferne, but she feels like their support has waned in recent months. A lot of Ferne’s celeb friendships were forged when she was going out partying, but since giving birth she’s preferred to stay at home with Sunday. Her new life as a mum makes it hard for her to maintain those bonds, but she’s upset that so many people have seemingly disappeared from her life.”
SUPPORT
Despite her loneliness, there are a few close friends that Ferne – who is currently dating a mystery older man – can rely on, including her I’m A Celeb! co-star Vicky Pattison and TOWIE regular Danielle Armstrong. But friends say Vicky is struggling to be there for Ferne now that she’s left Essex to move back to Newcastle with her fiancé John Noble.
A source says, “Vicky and Ferne talk all the time, but it’s much harder to see each other now. Ferne’s boyfriend is supportive, but she craves female company too. She’s booking a girls’ holiday with Danielle, but she’s worried that some of her celebrity pals may be using her for attention, so is wary about who she can trust.”
