Ferne McCann has been accused of sending 'vile' voice notes about her former TOWIE co-star Sam Faiers, with Sam's mum Suzie Wells condemning her actions, given that Ferne is meant to be a 'very close family friend.'
Sam was one of the original cast members on The Only Way is Essex when it launched to a huge fanfare back in 2010, with Ferne joining the cast a few years later, before going onto make the final of I'm A Celebrity in 2015 and landing her own ITV show First Time Mum, However, it looks like the friendship between Ferne and Sam has soured as 'leaked' voice notes allegedly sent by Ferne, currently starring in Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, see her launch a scathing attack on Sam, much to the horror of her mum Suzie.
Suzie shared part of the voice note in question on her own Insta story, with the audio said to have been sent not long after Sam gave birth to third child Edward, featuring a voice that sounds like Ferne's saying: "Sam Faiers is a fat c**t. Her thighs are so big and I looked really skinny today and...yeah."
Ferne has yet to respond to what's been posted on social media but, appalled by what she heard, Suzie wrote: "So after a few days of hurt and upset I can no longer sit back and say nothing.

"This vile voice note has been circulating social media, and now Press articles calling it a 'Fued' [sic] which it is not. This has come as a complete shock to myself and my family."
Opening up about how hurt she was by the content of the message, Suzie added: "Ferne has always been a very close family friend to all of us for over the past 20 years. It appears this voice note was sent just weeks after Samantha gave birth back in May.
"Since this voice note has surfaced more have been sent - very upsetting nasty things. We are as shocked as you are! Nobody should ever speak about their friends like this ever!
Mummy Diaries star Sam is also said to be 'incredibly hurt' by what she's heard and unfollowed Ferne as a result. The Mirror has contacted Ferne's representatives for a comment. She has been on Instagram since the allegations against her surfaced, but hasn't addressed them, instead posting a series of clips to her Insta story about her work with charity the Trussell Trust.
