Now, speaking on The Motherkind podcast , Ferne said she and Lorri are back sleeping in the same bed again after getting help from an intimacy coach
‘Honestly, we went to France for our friends wedding, perhaps we have them to thank for it, and we had this amazing weekend in Cannes sharing a bed.
‘I have had the best sleep. He has his fan on full blast, disciplined with his bedtime routine, he is like: “Turn your phone off,” We have had amazing sleep.’
Ferne added that she has been in a ‘dark place’ recently, but now recognises her ‘triggers’.
She explained: ‘That is like comparing myself to others, then I’ll end up aimlessly scrolling and feeling really sh*t about my life and I have got nothing going on. It is always comparing myself to others. That is it.
‘When I start to notice it I’m like: “Why am I doing this?” It is normally because something else is going on in my life… but I know how to prevent myself from completely spiralling is.
‘I keep it simple – I have to exercise and move my body. I eat healthy foods I just do the things that I love which is cooking for my loved ones.’
Ferne added that she sets everyone in her household a bedtime: ‘Getting early nights. Setting yourself a bedtime…actually. I am on it getting the kids to bed on time. And then I think: “Why don’t we do that for us?”
Ferne previously confessed that she and her fiancé Lorri sleep in separate bedrooms – after admitting they previously sought help from an intimacy coach.
Ferne has praised Lorri in the past for being a hands-on father, sharing that he even relishes the times he has the children to himself.

But, when Finty was born, Lorri reacted badly to the lack of sleep, leading Ferne to make the decision for them to have separate rooms.
She recalled to Heat magazine: ‘At first, it was more just to have our own space to get some really good quality sleep.
‘When Finty was a newborn, she wasn’t the best sleeper. Lorri is not very good when he doesn’t get much sleep, so I was like: “You’re grouchy and this isn’t pleasant, so let’s have separate bedrooms.”
‘But, it’s all the rage now, babes! It just works for us. Now, we get excited on holidays and special occasions when we do share a bed.’
In a previous interview with Heat, Ferne had shared how her and Lorri’s session with an intimacy coach had been ‘really insightful’.
She said they did a lot of non-sexual activities that were just focused on helping them improve their communication as well as other skills that can be transferred to the bedroom – even if they’re not sharing one.
Ferne insisted that most parents would agree that once a baby is born sex is out the window as it is no longer a priority.

However, one of those things is now off the table.
On Sunday, Ferne took to Instagram to announce that, after seven years, her ITVBe reality show Ferne McCann: My Family & Me would not be returning for a fourteenth series.
Her post read: ‘After an incredible 13 series I have made the very difficult decision that this series of @fernemyfamandme will be my last.
‘Where do I begin? Firstly by saying a huge, huge thank you to each one of you that have watched my show and been on our family journey with us.
‘This show has been such an incredible part of my life for the last seven years and what a ride it has been filming from being pregnant with Sunday to now. Your support and loyalty to me and my family has, at times, lifted me more than you will ever know. Thank you.
‘From the day I started filming I have poured my heart and soul in to the series. I genuinely feel like I’ve laughed, cried, loved and lived with you, sharing all the ups and downs.

‘This decision hasnt been an easy one but it feels like now is the right time for a change. I made this decision with my children (especially Sunday who has been on this full journey with me) in mind.
‘They are my absolute priority and Sunday is now at an age where she is very much her own little person and I want her to go out there and take her own path.
‘@potatoitv and @itvxofficial @itv team are incredible and over the years have become part of the family too thankyou so much for this wonderful opportunity. it’s not lost on me how incredible this has been and I will cherish these memories and moments that I have been lucky enough to have captured forever.
