Ferne McCann’s fiancé Lorri Haines breaks his silence after she reveals they are quitting their ITV show
FERNE McCann’s fiancé Lorri Haines has broken his silence after she announced their ITVBe show was ending.
Ferne, 34, shocked fans earlier today when she posted on instagram revealing she had made the decision to pull the plug on Ferne McCann: My Family and Me.
The former Towie star made the call after 13 series and 7 years of having her own spin-off show, which started life as Ferne McCann: First Time Mum and initially followed her raising first born Sunday.
The show was retitled in 2023 when Ferne welcomed her second daughter Finty.
After Ferne made the announcement, Lorri, 33, showed his support and praised his wife to be.
He commented on her post: “Awww it’s most definitely been a fun few years! I’ve enjoyed filming with you and everyone involved. I’m so proud of you for making this decision for yourself, the family and especially for the kids. Soooo many bigger things on the horizon which are very exciting. let’s gooooo x”
Ferne revealed she was stepping back from the show to allow her daughters to grow up more privately.
She explained: “This decision hasn’t 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.”
Ferne made the announcement by telling fans: After an incredible 13 series I have made the very difficult decision that this series of @fernemyfamandme will be my last.”
She continued: “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.”
The series that starts this week on ITVBe will be the last.
Ferne will next be seen on Dancing On Ice, which has also signed up her fellow Towie co-star Dan Edgar for the next series.
Dancing On Ice’s full line-up will be announced in the coming weeks and the series will begin in the New Year.
