Ferne fella acid shock
TV girl urges him to contact cops
SHOCKED TV girl Ferne McCann has urged her lover to contact police after they announced they want to question him over a nightclub acid attack.
POLICE probing an acid attack in a packed nightclub are hunting TV girl Ferne McCann’s lover.
They want to quiz scaffolder Arthur Collins about the incident when 20 people were doused with a mystery corrosive substance.
Officers raided his £1million home in Broxbourne, Herts, on Monday but he was not there.
Scotland Yard later warned people not to approach Collins, 25, but to dial 999 if they spot him.
A spokesman for ex-Towie and I’m A Celeb star Ferne, 26, said: “She is aware that the police wish to speak to Arthur and the nature of the accusations against him.
“Obviously these are highly shocking and Ferne has co-operated with the police in their inquiries.
“She was not with Arthur, was not at Mangle, and has no direct knowledge of the events that unfolded.
“As much as anybody, she wants to know the truth and urges Arthur to co-operate fully with the police and attend a police station immediately.”
Ferne and Collins appear on the front cover of this week’s OK! magazine revealing plans to move in together – and even get married. The pair only got back together in March – after calling it quits last summer following a trip to Ibiza.
Four Towie stars including Chloe Meadows had been at the LoveJuice night at the Mangle E8 club in Dalston, east London, where the attack happened.
Two victims are still “serious” in hospital with facial burns.
Two Aussie models, Isobella Fraser, 22, and her sister Prue, 20, were also burned in the attack.
Isobella, who was left scalded and unable to breathe, said: “It was like the recent chemical weapons attack in Syria. I was in such pain.”
