Former TOWIE star Ferne McCann has addressed last year's voice note scandal in the first episode of her new series of First Time Mum, as she opened up about the reaction on social media.
The TV star, 32, became embroiled in scandal after an anonymous Instagram account leaked a number of her old voice messages, in which she made disparaging remarks about a number of people, including her former pals Sam Faiers and Billie Shepherd.
