FERNE McCann has got very real with her fans and opened up about coming to terms with herself as she approaches her 30th birthday.
The newly single Ferne posted the candid message of “self love” for her 2.5 million Instagram followers.
She wrote: “There is only 1 YOU & that is your power 
.
“I’ve realised recently that as I’m approaching 30 I feel so much better than I did at 20. So much of the last decade was worrying about how I looked, but mainly how other people thought I looked. It was a lot about surface.
“Recent years I have learnt to nurture my body to be at my healthiest & happiest. It’s important to feel comfortable in your own skin.”
Ferne added: “Believe me this hasn’t always been easy & is an ongoing battle. Ive learnt to drop the quest for (the non existent) perfection & acceptance of others ‘What Instagram would find attractive.’ Or – ‘What guy I was messaging would find sexy’.”
The mum-of-one admitted: “The more I’ve taken care of myself & the healthier I’ve become the more confident I’ve grown & found self love.
“Most of all, I’ve learnt to love my body. I spent so many years wishing I was more this or that. I guess lockdown has strengthened this.
“But now I fully appreciate my body & health it’s so much more than being a dress size! I feel the fittest I’ve ever been. I have energy, I feel strong and healthy.”
Ferne finished by saying: “I’m choosing to stop picking holes in my appearance and celebrate my vitality & my health. Im grateful for every lump, bump, nipple and hair. #stayhome #healthiswealth #selflove.”
Fans loved her positive message and thanked her for her honesty.
One Instagram user wrote: “It’s amazing how many versions of yourself live in other peoples heads! Just be you because you is ‘good enough’! X”
While another added: “Well done you!! 
Xx”
And a third said: “The realest and most relevant caption in a long time 
”
The reality star, 29, recently revealed to her fans on her show First Time Mum that she had split from new boyfriend Albie Gibbs because of the coronavirus lockdown.
Speaking on her reality show First Time Mum she called the situation “proper s**t” and insisted she still thought Albie was the right man for her.
“How can I see a future with someone when I can’t physically be with them for the foreseeable future?” She asked herself. “I was naive to think the long distance thing would be OK. We have broken up and it is proper s**t.
“It sucks to say that I think he was the right guy, and I want to stress this, the right guy at the wrong time. But that to me just means it wasn’t right at all. I think yet again, Ferne McCann is officially back on the market.”
Recently Ferne admitted some of the biggest rows she had with financial trader Albie were about Instagram.
Ferne also had a pregnancy scare after flying to see him in New York City where he has relocated temporarily.
Describing Albie, 25, as her “fairtytale” hunk, Ferne had flown to the Big Apple to see her lover after spending five weeks apart.
Not much is known about Albie, who made his TV debut on the show, but shielded his face.
Ferne respected his decision but admitted getting mad at him for refusing to take photos of her playing tourist in New York so she can post them on Instagram.
She said: “He doesn’t want to be in the limelight, he doesn’t like taking pictures.
“It’s causing rows, it caused our first domestic, he stormed off.”
Her romantic getaway to New York to see Albie reaffirmed to Ferne that she really loved him, but missed her daughter Sunday, 2, more.
The mother-of-one first spoke about her “mystery boyfriend” in The Sun on Sunday back in December.

She gushed at the time: “There is someone new. It’s still very much in the background.”
Ferne’s romance followed a tumultuous two years which saw her ex-boyfriend and father of her child, Arthur Collins, jailed for 20 years after carrying out an acid attack in an East London nightclub.
After splitting with Arthur she had brief flings with model Jordan Hames, 24, and Love Island 2018 alum Charlie Brake.
First Time Mum continues on Wednesdays at 9pm on ITVBe.
