Pregnant Ferne McCann is reportedly still in contact with her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins following his charge over an acid attack in London last month as the couple have 'things to discuss.'
The contact with Arthur, who is currently awaiting trial, is alledgedly more for 'practical reasons' as they have important 'things to discuss' rather than anything romantic.
A source told The Sun: "Ferne has obviously ended her relationship with Arthur but she has been in contact with him since his arrest.
"They have spoken on the phone recently. The relationship is over but obviously they feel there are things to discuss."
Ferne McCann has had a tough past few weeks after it was revealed her former boyfriend Arthur Collins was linked to an acid attack at a London nightclub that left 20 injured and two people blind in one eye. And just days after the news broke, she confirmed she was pregnant with Arthur's child.
Ferne chose to deal with her ordeal in private, taking time off work and social media but she made an extremely emotional return to This Morning last week to exclusively discuss everything with Phillip and Holly.
She candidly revealed that despite the circumstances, her pregnancy has been a blessing: "It has been such a stressful and surreal situation to be in but I'm actually feeling good and positive because I'm pregnant. It's given me strength and hope to be able to deal with it."
Ferne then visibly broke down on the sofa when Phil asked her how she found the strength to deal with it all: "Surrounding yourself with family and friends, I've got such a strong group around me, my mum and their friends have been amazing. This isn't how I imagined my first pregnancy to be and my main concern is my baby.
"I think being in the public eye was a concern for me, are they going to judge me and are they going to have an opinion which their entitled to. The public have been so amazing and so supportive and that is what has got me through. I've had the time to read everything on Instagram. It's been so touching and so humbling. I'm so grateful, everyone's words. From single mothers to single fathers to people who have never even seen me on TV."
We love you Ferne!
