‘I won’t be forced out of Essex!’

Following her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins’ arrest, pregnant Ferne Mccann is determined to rebuild her life

- By Daisy Mclure

She looked tense as she was snapped back in Essex for the first time following her ex Arthur Collins’ acid attack arrest – and pals say Ferne Mccann is hell-bent on rebuilding her life with her family and friends in a bid to put her unborn baby first.

HUGE MISTAKE

A source says: “Straight after Arthur was arrested, Ferne wanted to escape and was talking about moving to Marbella to get away from the drama haunting her.

“But after heart-to-hearts with her best pals, including Sam and Billie Faiers, she’s realised it would be a huge mistake to move away from her loyal network when she needs them the most.” Since 24-yearold Arthur’s arrest following the acid attack at an East London nightclub on 17 April, insiders say the former TOWIE star, 26, is petrified about facing motherhood alone. Arthur faces a hearing on 22 May and has been remanded in custody after being charged with 14 counts of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and one count of throwing corrosive fluid on a person with intent to cause GBH.

Ferne – who’s currently taking a break from her guest presenter role on This Morning – has reportedly moved back in with her mum, Gillian, in Essex.

A source adds: “Ferne doesn’t want to be alone right now, so moving back into her place wasn’t an option.

NIGHTMARE SITUATION

“Her mum is taking care of her and she’s surrounded by loved ones. Everyone is determined to help her turn her nightmare situation around. They want Ferne to start enjoying her pregnancy even if she’s not in not the dream scenario she’d imcapgitni­oend.i”n
