Ferne McCann looks tense during day out in Essex days after it’s revealed baby daughter Sunday was taken to see acid attacker dad Arthur Collins in jail
The 27-year-old was pictured chatting on her phone as she climbed into her car wearing gym gear
FERNE McCann appeared strained as she was pictured chatting on her phone in Essex.
The 27-year-old cradled her mobile in between her shoulder and neck as she climbed into her car just days after it was revealed her baby daughter has been taken to visit her acid attacker ex Arthur Collins in jail by his mum and sister.
Ferne wore her newly-blonde hair in a ponytail and covered her eyes with large shades.
She wrapped up in a large coat and looked like she was well prepped for a workout.
Meanwhile, the former Towie star hinted that she is set to have "more fun" after undergoing a makeover.
The mother-of-one showed off her new look on Instagram last week, telling her followers: "Fancied A Change...let’s see who has more fun."
Her new look comes after Collins' barrister Rebecca Randall apparently said in court last Wednesday that Ferne had taken the couple's daughter to see him in prison.
Addressing the court about Collins' secret mobile phone, which he'd concealed in a crutch and used to try to contact Ferne from inside his cell, Randall was reported to have said: "That child is now two months old and occasionally visits him with its mother and his sister."
Later Ferne's representatives claimed the barrister had been misquoted and had actually said Sunday was taken to prison by Collins' mother and sister.
Ferne also tweeted insisting she had only ever taken Sunday to see Collins once and hadn't been back.
Ferne said: “The story today says that I have been visiting Sunday’s father in prison. As I have already made clear I visited him once and I have not been to see him since.
“The story today says that I have been visiting Sunday’s father in prison. As I have already made clear I visited him once and I have not been to see him since.
“I have repeatedly made clear that I have not been back to see him in response to the press asking me. I do not in anyway condone the actions that took place in Mangle in April 2017.
“Nobody should be faced with violence on a night out and the victims have my fullest sympathy.”
"I strongly feel for the innocent people hurt that night and I in no way condone violence as I have already made clear. It was a difficult decision to take Sunday into that environment but I felt I needed to confront him about a number of things, which I have now done."
But the news Sunday has been to see Collins again at all still comes as a shock as Ferne had claimed Collins was going to play no part in the baby's life in an interview last year.
Speaking to The Sunday People, she said she had told him: "This is the last time you will see either of us."
She added: "I went to see Arthur and I took Sunday with me. This was because I am very angry about what has happened and I needed to communicate that and wanted to hear what Arthur had to say."
The pair had an on-off relationship for a year before Collins went on the run following the acid attack that left 16 people injured.
