Ferne McCann feeling ‘sexy again’ with ‘a bum like Kim Kardashian’ thanks to Dancing On Ice after giving birth to baby

FERNE McCann is feeling body confident again after giving birth to her second daughter Finty – thanks to her stint on Dancing On Ice.

Giving us a twirl in a stunning blue dress Ferne, 34, reckons her gruelling training regime has worked wonders on her rear end.

The former Towie star is set to hit the ice this weekend for the show’s highly-anticipated launch, but says it’s not just her skating skills that have been transformed.

Speaking to The Sun before her debut, Ferne said: “You’re constantly in this little squat position, so everyone talks about the ice skating bum!

“There was one point where we filmed one of our tricks, and I was like, hang on a minute, like zoomed in on my booty.

“Like, whoa, wait a minute, it’s like a shelf! I’m giving Kim Kardashian a run for her money!”

The mum-of-two added: “(The show) is a physical challenge and I love that.

“Like, I love something that motivates and incentivises me. I mean, it’s a sport.

“So it’s been a fantastic challenge, and yeah, a bonus if you get a nice ice skating bod at the end of it. Everyone’s a winner.”

The skating star hasn’t just been wowing fans with her newfound physique – she’s also balancing training with motherhood.

Ferne revealed she’s still breastfeeding daughter Finty, after welcoming the tot with fiancé Lorri Haines in 2023.

Speaking as she posed for snaps at the ITV ice studios, Ferne said: “I can’t believe it. I am even shocked myself.”

“I tell you what. It’s a great wardrobe team because they are snatching these (points at boobs) like right back.”

With her confidence back and her skates on, Ferne is ready to dazzle on Dancing On Ice alongside partner Brendyn Hatfield.

And Brendyn’s girlfriend, former S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens, has been offering some sweet words of encouragement.

Rachel, who skated on the show herself in 2022, has been in touch with Ferne to share some support.

“She was so sweet,” Ferne revealed. “She sent me a really nice message. It wasn’t so much advice, but more of like support, and good luck with the show and everything like that.”

Brendyn added that Rachel has been a huge cheerleader during the demanding Dancing On Ice schedule.

“They’ve been in touch,” he said.

“I don’t know if she’s coming to the first show or like the next one or whatever, but she has to be supportive on my end too because I’m like, ‘I’m gonna be gone for 12 hours (training)!’”

Meanwhile, Ferne said Lorri has been her rock, as she juggles training with family life.

She previously admitted the relationship can be tough, after they were forced to deny they had split.

But Ferne, who has daughter Sunday from a previous relationship, said: “This is gonna be a full family affair.

“I wouldn’t be able to do this show without my family.

“The logistics of everything, like, even today and getting the baby sorted – Finty waking up at 5am.

“I just said to Lorri, normally we sort of leave her to resettle, but I was like, just go!

She went on: “Like it's insane. I said to Lori this morning I was like, just don't get her before I get up. I had a 6am pick up and I was like, let's just make it happen. 

“So really everyone is (there for me) and like making it happen.”

Dancing On Ice starts Sunday at 6.30pm, live on ITV1, ITVX, STV, STV Player.
