Ferne McCann engaged to boyfriend Lorri Haines as she shows off HUGE diamond ring

FERNE McCann has revealed she's engaged to her businessman boyfriend Lorri Haines.

The ex Towie star announced her happy news on Instagram today as she kissed her beau and showed fans her huge diamond ring.

Ferne, 31, shared: ";So happily ever afters do exist.

"I cannot wait to do forever with you baby."

A string of reality stars congratulated the couple, with Towie's Mario Falcone writing: "Congratulations Fernita! Very happy for you."

Her pal James Argent penned: "My beautiful friend. You deserve this so much. I couldn't be happier for you!"

Love Island star Siannise Fudge typed: "Congratulations babe you deserve this so much! SO happy for you."

Proud Lorri shared his own snap of Ferne and the romantic moment she "said yes".

Just two days ago he penned a lengthy tribute to the star, saying she had changed his life.

He said: "Let me say from the bottom of my heart. When you finally meet that particular person, it does make you realise what life’s all about; for me, it was that piece of the puzzle I was always searching for.

"But let me be straight with you; it only comes when you are ready; YOU HAVE TO BE READY.

"What Ferne and I have is unique; together, we have a journey ahead of us we are so excited about as a family unit, and every day I wake up smiling to myself because I’ve made it.

"I’ve found happiness; all the years of hard work, self-studying and therapy, the universe has rewarded me."

Ferne, who is mum to daughter Sunday, four, has been dating the Dubai-based jeweller, 30, since last year.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the former Towie favourite said she has finally met the man she will spend the rest of her life with.

'ABSOLUTE HELL'

There is no doubt Ferne, who came third on I’m A Celebrity in 2015, has endured a rocky road to happiness.

In April 2017 her life came crashing down when her then boyfriend Arthur Collins was arrested for an acid attack at Mangle nightclub in Dalston, East London.

Ferne was pregnant at the time with their daughter Sunday — and just days before the attack, the couple had posed for a glossy magazine cover and said they planned to marry.

Collins, 29, was later sentenced to 20 years behind bars — with an extra five years on licence.

He lost his appeal against the sentence and is still locked up at Category A HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, Bucks.

Ferne later spoke of her devastation on her ITVBe series First Time Mum.

She said: “You find out you’re pregnant, you’re so excited — and then your whole life and world is turned upside down. It was like absolute hell.”

Now she makes it clear her life has changed a lot since her relationship with Collins.

She says: “I am different now — I am older and wiser. I have learned from mistakes.”

Since her three-year stint on Towie ended in 2016, the former Miss Essex has carved out a successful career in her own right as a TV personality and lifestyle influencer — propelling her wealth to more than £5.5million.

TRUE LOVE

A video of Lori appearing to inhale a white powder in Dubai was revealed last month after pals shared it on WhatsApp groups.

Despite this, Ferne is confident he is the right man for her — and just days after the video came to light, she told her 2.7million Instagram followers he was her “soulmate”.

Ferne told us: “He is a very grounded, likeable, loveable, loyal man and I really respect him.

“We have a lot of parallels in our lives that are very much aligned. I have never experienced that before.”
