FERNE McCann has revealed she is still not friends with Sam Faiers — and has confirmed the pair fell out over First Time Mum.

The single mum revealed the reason the pair fell out was because she decided to go ahead and film First Time Mum — after Sam's hit series of The Baby Diaries.

Ferne confirmed in magazine: "We fell out because I went ahead and filmed for this show.

"After the year I've had, I haven't got the energy to entertain feuds. I just want positivity around me."

However, the former TOWIE star also said she is on good terms with Sam's sister Billie Faiers and will be attending her wedding to Greg Shepherd.

In November 2017, Sam and Ferne both gave birth to their daughters just a week apart.

Adding to speculation they'd fallen out, the day Ferne's new show First Time Mum hit the airwaves, Sam announced her baby girl's name four weeks after giving birth.

A source previously told The Sun: "Their fallout first started when Ferne told Sam that she had landed her own pregnancy reality show.

"Sam felt like Ferne was trying to emulate her success by launching a rival programme – and it made things awkward between them.

"Ferne was never going to turn down the show as it was an opportunity for her to make money for Sunday but without Sam’s support the breakdown of their friendship was inevitable."

The new three-part special will track how Ferne copes with being a single mum, after Sunday's father Arthur Collins was sentenced to 20 years in jail for a brutal acid attack.

The star also said that she wouldn't have been happy during the last year if it wasn't for her tot.

Sam recently brought The Mummy Diaries back for a third series, with her sister Billie.
