Ferne McCann thanks This Morning for 'sharing my side of the story' after scandal

ok.co.uk:

Ferne McCann has thanked ITV's This Morning for "sharing my side of the story" after being embroiled in a shock voice note scandal last year.The former TOWIE star was on the sofa to speak to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield ahead of the tenth series of her ITVBe show, Ferne McCann: First Time Mum, which starts on Wednesday night at 9pm.

During the chat, Ferne spoke about the voice note drama, after an anonymous Instagram account leaked clips where she could be heard talking disparagingly about people including her former pals, Sam Faiers and Billie Shepherd.

Following the interview, Ferne took to Instagram to share snaps of herself in the studio, as she posed cradling her bump in a deep-coloured dress with a slit up one thigh, which she paired with cream high-heeled boots.

In the caption, Ferne wrote: "Thank you so much @thismorning for having me on the sofa today. I felt super relaxed, welcomed and it was a safe place to share a little of my side of the story and all things [First Time Mum]." She also insisted that her dress is actually purple, not blue as it looked on the TV or in photographs, as she said it was not an attempt to hint at the gender of her unborn child. "This is not a hint I literally have no idea what we are having & do not have an inkling.
