Pregnant Ferne McCann goes make-up-free as she leaves a gym in Essex clutching a bag of Pick ‘n Mix
PREGNANT Ferne McCann was spotted going make-up-free as she left a gym in Essex sipping a drink and clutching a bag of Pick 'n Mix.
The TV presenter is keeping in shape during her pregnancy with regular work outs, but it looks like she is still indulging in the odd sweet treat.
Ferne, 27, is preparing to become a first time mum later this year, and she is making sure she keeps up her exercise routine.
She was spotted leaving a gym in her native Essex this week and she looked fresh-faced and make-up-free after her work out.
The former Towie star showed off her growing baby bump in tight blue leggings and a black hoodie.
As well as her car keys, she carried a drink in one hand and a tell-tale pink and white bag in the other.
It looked as if Ferne had picked up a little bag of sweeties to keep her pregnancy cravings at bay.
The TV regular is facing life as a single mum as the father of her baby, Arthur Collins, remains behind bars after he was accused of carrying out an acid attack in east London earlier this year.
He went on the run after the incident, and The Sun later revealed the TV star was pregnant with his child.
Ferne insisted they had split, and in the days prior to his arrest, she urged him to "co-operate fully" with police – and also deleted all trace of him from her social media accounts.

He was arrested and charged with 14 counts of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and one count of throwing corrosive fluid on a person with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
The Sun revealed that Ferne recently visited her ex-boyfriend in prison ahead of his trial as she attempts to move on with her life.
She has been to see him at HMP Thameside in the past two weeks.
A source said she was seen at the prison in Greenwich, South London, in a hoodie.
She also opened up about how her friends have been supporting her amid all the drama.
Billie Faiers, Danielle Armstrong, Becky Vardy and Vicky Pattison have all been named as pals she can count on.
In an interview withmagazine, Ferne explained: "I speak to Danielle Armstrong every day, and my best friend Billie is around the corner.
"Becky Vardy has also been an absolute angel. She always sends me check-up messages and I really admired her for her post-baby photoshoot in which she showed off her body unairbrushed. I thought it was a good image to put out.
"Vicky has been great, too - it's been all good vibes, which I'm so grateful for."
The This Morning presenter also credited her friends and love ones for helping to reduce the stress she felt after the drama involving Arthur.
She said: "Pregnancy is the nine months of your life when you don't want any stress. Obviosuly I had stress, so I had to learn how to deal with it quickly.
"Loads of women who are pregnant go through stressful experiences, so knowing I'm not the only one meant I could research how other women have coped - and that's by surrounding yourself with people who care about you and love you."
