Ferne McCann sobs and reveals she has 'lost her confidence'

‘I feel really silly’: Ferne McCann reveals she has ‘lost her confidence’ as she sobs in the wake of her voice note scandal

Ferne McCann was left in floods of tears in scenes which aired on Wednesday evening’s episode of her ITVBe reality show, First Time Mum.

The reality star, 32, admitted that she has ‘lost her confidence’ following a tumultuous time over the last few months.

Sobbing to a life coach, she spoke of feeling ‘silly’ while touching on her recent voice note scandal – which saw a collection of audio messages leaked online.

In November 2022, an anonymous Instagram account, called Lady Whistledown after the Bridgerton secret gossip sharer, posted a series of derogatory voice messages from a woman they claimed was Ferne.

Now dealing with the aftermath of the scandal, the former TOWIE star, who is currently expecting her second child, has been documenting the process through her show.

In the scenes, Ferne could be seen meeting with expert Lydia Kimmerling to start her course to become a certified life coach. 

Sharing her hopes to ‘leave the past behind’, the TV personality could be seen getting candid with her emotions during the talk.

Explaining her reasons for hoping to become a life coach, she said: ‘For me, I have had these massive traumas that I feel like have happened to me, have massively shaped who I am. 

‘I want to share that with people, to be able to help them in some way, navigating how. I’m so known for my failed relationships, my stuff that’s been in the press recently.’

Ferne was then asked by Lydia what she values in life, which left her emotional as she struggled to come up with an answer and got emotional.

‘I’ve never really had to think about this, sorry. I don’t even know what I value? I feel really silly. I’m really sorry,’ said the crying star.

As Lydia reassured Ferne that she was ‘doing something brave,’ the expectant mother: ‘Do you know what. I’ve always got the answer, I’m always really confident. I feel like I’ve really lost my confidence.’

During the new series of her show, the former TOWIE star spoke out about her voice note scandal – which hit headlines at the end of last year.

One of the notes posted, claiming to be Ferne, heard a woman’s voice label one of acid attacker Arthur Collins’ victims a ‘silly b****’ while another saw Ferne accused of body-shaming Sam Faiers. 

In a confessional, she told viewers that she knows exactly who leaked the voice notes, but alleged they had been edited ‘to removed their context’.

She said: ‘When I heard the voice notes, I immediately remembered who I’d sent them to but I believe they’ve since been edited to remove their context.

‘Why? Because I think that someone is trying to destroy me and to inflict as much damage into my life as possible. There’s only one person that I know would want to inflict this amount of pain and damage onto my life. They destroyed me.’

Elsewhere, the influencer revealed she found the school run ‘traumatising’ following her leaked voice note scandal, but admitted it was her ‘purpose’ to get up every day.

She broke down in tears while confiding in her friend James Argent, 35, in the series premiere of her show.

In footage exclusively shared with MailOnline, Ferne confessed she was ‘mortified’ to drop her daughter Sunday, five, off at school in the morning.

Revealing she was filled with ‘anxiety’ and found it ‘traumatising’ to leave her house, she explained how an act of kindness from a fellow parent relieved her.

She said: ‘To be fair, thank God for the school run. I know it sounds so stupid, but having that consistency, like, every day was a purpose to get up because I had to for Sunday.

‘My only savior was being a parent to Sunday. Oh it was so bad… and also I’m so grateful to some of the school mums. I was so embarrassed to go on the school run, I was so mortified.
