Speaking into the camera, Ferne explained: ‘I’m loving the fact that she doesn’t seem nervous and she seems to be taking this all in her stride.
‘She’s even getting her uniform on which is something I was afraid she wasn’t going to do for ages. Like, I did not want her to be the only kid at the school gate turning up in her PJs.’
Ferne, who welcomed Sunday in November 2017, continued: ‘Straight into her uniform, no problems… smashed it!’

Ferne told host Steph McGovern she’s happy she decided to carry on filming.
She said: ‘I always wear my heart on my sleeve and I’m so glad that I did because watching that episode back of the break-up…
