Ferne, who is currently pregnant with her second child, was in tears on the ITV This Morning sofa as she opened up about the voice note scandal.

Shortly after, Ferne released a statement, saying: "I am aware that people will have a number of questions about the voice messages being put into the public domain and purportedly sent by me. "Only because the event and the award she’s entered or beauty competition, whatever it is, they’re probably loving all this free press for their event. I do not believe her to be ugly or stupid. "Even so, I will have said things that are untrue and I did not believe – but I did so to protect my family and myself from serious harm and in the face of significant threats." "Most importantly I want to apologise to all the victims of Arthur Collins's abhorrent actions in 2017 that they have to relive that night and the pain that followed because this matter is again in the public domain. "What I can say is that the voice messages that are being released are manipulated; edited and taken entirely out of context. Speaking about that time in her life, Ferne said: "It definitely wasn't my finest hour and it definitely was a very difficult time in my life, but I do, I need to take this opportunity to publicly apologise again to those affected, obviously, the words I used were unpleasant and I have reached out privately to those people and it's very difficult." I feel I have no choice but to address these (to the extent that I can as there are restrictions on me which I explain below). Speaking about the incident being captured on First Time Mum, Ferne said: "When you find yourself in the eye of the storm it effects my family, my agent - everyone around me - and I felt hugely responsible, I was hurting, I hit some of my lowest moments, and, yeah of course you still have to get up and do the school run, and it was tough. She added: "I would love to sit here with you guys and share exactly what went on, but it's now part of a criminal investigation so I can't do that, but what I can say is these voice notes were from a time when I was in a very vulnerable situation and I have since then have done a lot of work on myself, I've been in therapy for six years and I feel like I am a different person." Ferne went on to ask people to be patient with her and said that eventually she will be able to speak her whole truth as now as it's a police matter, she can't fully talk about it. After a clip was shown to This Morning viewers of what's to come on tonight's episode of First Time Mum, Ferne can be seen crying as she speaks to her pal James Argent after the voice notes were leaked.
