She said: "I flew to Dubai and me and Sunday were going to have a few days with Danielle [Armstrong] and [her fiance] Tom.

"Lorri lives in Dubai and he slid into the DMs. I never, ever reply back to guys that slide in the DMs.

"But I noticed Lorri's message and I was like 'he's quite fit'. This guy is a blend between Bradley Cooper and Matthew McConaughey.

"And he was like 'Do you want to go out for dinner?' I said 'I'm with my daughter'. He said 'but I have to see you before you go'.

"I was like 'you're more than welcome to come and meet us' and he said 'yeah, I'm going to come and meet you'.

"He walked in and I was like 'that is the man I'm going to marry. I just know it'.

Viewers of the ITVBe series got to see Ferne and Lorri's first date - during which he whisked her away on a romantic boat ride, complete with a red carpet.

Speaking during the VT, she said: "I feel so lucky. It was like the heavens had opened up and god sent me an angel.

"This just feels so right, I can't see why it wouldn't work. I feel like our stars were aligned.

"I literally feel like I'm on cloud nine right now. I feel like I'm in a movie, I feel like I'm a princess."

Ferne and Lorri's relationship hasn't been without its troubles.

Earlier this year The Sun revealed he'd been filmed appearing to sniff white powder.

He later apologised and said the video came from a "destructive" time in his life.
