Ferne McCann ‘was jealous of Sam Faiers' perfect life’ before ‘fat c***’ voice note row | The Sun

FERNE McCann was said to be "jealous of Sam Faiers' perfect life" before the "fat c***" voice note leaked.

The reality star, 32, is under fire from fans after private conversations, allegedly from Ferne, have spread on social media.


The voice on the recording is heard saying: “Sam Faiers is a fat c***. Her thighs are so big and I looked really skinny today.” The voice in the message is not confirmed to be Ferne.

Now insiders have opened up about the pair's rocky relationship.

A source told The Sun: "It's like Ferne was jealous of how perfect Sam's life was – she's got the perfect house and kids and partner, while it's fair to say that Ferne has struggled in the past.

"I wouldn't be surprised if it was jealousy that was driving the rivalry."

Both Sam's and Ferne's reps have been approached for comment.

Sam and Ferne grew up together in Essex and later co-starred in The Only Way Is Essex – but Sam left in 2014 and Ferne quit two years later. 

Their friendship became strained in 2017 when Ferne launched her own reality show, Ferne McCann: First Time Mum, which documented her pregnancy and the birth of daughter Sunday, who she shares with ex Arthur Collins.

The launch of the programme came a few years after Sam launched The Baby Diaries, which was swiftly followed by The Mummy Diaries – and sources say Sam thought Ferne was “copying her”.

It was believed their rift ended in 2018 at Sam’s sister Billie’s hen do in Ibiza – as Ferne is best friends with Billie, the pair had to come face to face. 

Since the leaked messages, Sam has ended her 20-year friendship with Ferne.
