Ferne takes tot to visit acid-attack dad again

- EXCLUSIVE BY TOM BRYANT Head of Showbiz

FERNE McCann is seen for the first time visiting her acid-throwing ex in jail as friends admitted: “She has no choice – she has to take her baby to see him.” The Mirror revealed last week how thug Arthur Collins has asserted his legal right to see his daughter and that Ferne had visited him on March 25. She was seen again yesterday with Sunday on the 440-mile round trip from Essex to see him at Full Sutton, East Yorks, where he is serving 20 years for throwing acid. She had previously vowed Collins , 25, would never see Sunday again after visiting him at Belmarsh prison in South East London, when their daughter was two weeks old.

But Collins took legal action and Ferne, 27, conceded Collins had a right to see her. A source said previously: “Ferne sought legal advice, and it was a difficult decision.”

Collins was jailed for throwing acid on 22 clubbers at Mangle in Dalston, East London, last year, with 16 suffering serious burns.

Ferne, who was pregnant with Sunday, dumped him.

The I’m a Celebrity and TOWIE star said recently: “If Arthur has to see Sunday, I want absolute control. If she is going into a prison I want to be with her.” She has said there is no

way back with Collins.
