She doesn't want to be alone

Reality star Ferne McCann breaks down on tonight’s episode of ITVBe’s Ferne McCann: First Time Mum as she speaks about her struggles of being a single parent.

Ferne, 29, says she finds it hard seeing other people raise their children as families.

The father of her two-year-old daughter, Arthur Collins, is serving a 20-year prison sentence for being found guilty of carrying out an acid attack.

The episode of Ferne McCann: First Time Mum, which goes out tonight at 9pm on ITVBe, sees Ferne open up about her single mum lifestyle.

“When I actually stop and think about my situation… I never actually let myself get to that stage where I want to meet someone,” she says to a friend, beginning to break down.

“I’m so ready to meet someone now, I don’t want to be on my own.”

“Being away with my sister, her husband, the guys in Spain… Seeing people with their kids in a partnership, it is really hard,” she continues.

“Because I feel like it’s all on me, I just want that affection and love.

“I want to grow up and have a family, and I want to get married as well.”

Earlier on this summer, Ferne holidayed with TOWIE pal Billie Faiers in Marbella.

She told Closer: “Being a single parent can get really lonely sometimes. I’m still unattached but I am looking for love.”

Because I feel like it’s all on me, I just want that affection and love.

The following month, she and Love Island star Jordan Hames enjoyed a public fling.

Ferne and Jordan, 24, were snapped kissing and cuddling at her cocktail launch party in London.

The unlikely pair weren’t at all fazed by onlookers as the mum-of-one passionately wrapped her arms around the model before leaning in for a kiss.

She also briefly dated 23-year-old millionaire Charlie Brake.
