Ferne ‘shaken’ by video
The former TOWIE star is “devastated” as footage of her new man surfaces
Ferne Mccann has been left gutted after a shock video of new boyfriend Lorri Haines emerged last week. In the footage, Lorri, 30, is seen topless while dancing and appearing to hold up two packets of an unknown substance. At one point a pal can be heard shouting, “No, no ket, no ket.” Lorri has denied taking drugs, saying he was just “joking about”.
Ferne, 31, had previously gushed that she had finally met someone who has changed her “life forever” following a string of heartache. But the former TOWIE star is now facing fresh agony, according to a source.
“Ferne was understandably devastated and really shaken by new. the news,” a source told “Even though Lorri says it’s just a joke, she has a zero tolerance for those types of jokes.”
A pal of the businessman told new, “He’s beyond gutted about the situation. He’s a decent, hard-working guy who devotes himself to his work and family. He will absolutely hate that this has caused so much upset for Ferne. He adores her.”
It comes just days after Ferne declared her love for Lorri in a romantic Instagram post. Alongside a video of the pair on the beach while on holiday in the Maldives, she wrote, “@lozzahaines Thank you for showing up for me. Thank you for showing me what a meaningful relationship looks like. Thank you for showing me integrity and honesty. Most importantly thank you for showing me true love. I love you.”
The pair, who met in Dubai, where Lorri lives, went public with their romance in January. Posting a picture of them together, Lorri wrote, “When you know, you know…”
Unlucky-in-love Ferne has had a string of failed relationships in the past. Before meeting Lorri, she had a brief romance with Jack Padgett, who abruptly ended things after six months. She also dated Albie Gibbs, but called it quits due to struggling with their long-distance relationship.
Ferne was also left heartbroken when Arthur Collins, the father of her four-year-old daughter Sunday, was jailed for 20 years for injuring 16 people in an acid attack in a London club in 2017. Ferne, who was pregnant at the time, dumped Arthur after learning about the horrific act.
