Ferne McCann reveals baby plans after ‘rough patch’ with fiance Lorri Haines ahead of Dancing on Ice debut
FERNE McCann has revealed her baby plans after a “rough patch” with her fiancé Lorri Haines, ahead of her Dancing On Ice debut.
The 34-year-old mum-of- is already a frontrunner in the ITV competition after she revealed her unexpectedly dazzling moves.
The Towie legend has been paired with pro skater Brendyn Hatfield ahead of the show’s return.
But Ferne also has family plans on her mind, as well as her skating routines.
She said she feels as though she’s “not done” when it comes to having children.
Ferne added: “I feel like I’m not done. But right now, I feel blessed. We’re a blended family of five [Lorri has a son from a previous relationship].
“I just feel so happy with my girls and they’ve got such a lovely relationship – they’re already really close.”
The skating star continued to tell OK! magazine that she and fiancé Lorri are “good” after being forced to deny split rumours following a ‘huge row.’
The couple welcomed their daughter Finty just 16 months ago, after a whirlwind romance which saw them get engaged in 2022.
Speaking to The Sun, a source close to Ferne said: “It’s not true they have split – Ferne doesn’t even know where the story came from as they’re still living together.”
She’s now told OK! how things are going between them, saying: “We feel like we have to justify ourselves sometimes because, you know, every couple has their ups and downs.
“I think this is my first proper relationship and we are juggling so much with businesses and raising our children together; we’re a blended family, with lots of different personalities.
“Don’t get me wrong, we’re not constantly upbeat and positive, but we’re very much together and doing life together.
“When you’ve got multiple children, it’s a lot. We’re both busy working and it’s like any household, it’s about the moving parts. Sometimes we can be like passing ships if he’s in the office and I’m working – it can be tough.”
Lorri popped the question to Ferne in 2022, just seven months after they started dating.
But she recently admitted that their wedding was taking a back seat for the time being.
She said: “I’m looking at my vision board right now and there’s not one wedding veil in sight.
“Maybe I need to put something on there so that we do get married eventually. I just feel like we’re going to be engaged for a really long time. We’re committed to each other – I don’t feel like we need to be married right now.”
In another interview, Ferne admitted the pair didn’t share a bed and were like ‘two ships in the night’.
Fans questioned their romance after watching a furious argument over holiday accommodation on her show.
During the row, the property investor presumed Fern would share a bed with her daughter on vacation and later flinched his head backwards when she went in for a kiss.
