Ferne McCann feels a wedding and baby with boyfriend Lorri will 'happen' despite drama

Ferne McCann is ready to walk down the aisle and have a baby with her boyfriend Lorri Haines.

The former TOWIE star, 31, went public with Dubai-based jeweller Lorri earlier this year and recently revealed she is sharing her Essex home with the dad-of-one.

Speaking with OK! magazine, Ferne has admitted that her current beau is the first person she has ever envisioned a long-term future with and feels like a wedding "is going to happen".

"[Marriage and kids] is definitely something we talk about all the time. Lorri’s the first person I can see having a future with, so those things often come up. And with one of my best friends Danielle [Armstrong] getting married this year – it’s happening all around us," the reality TV star said.

"Who doesn’t dream of their happily ever after and getting married? Now I’m with him, I can properly live it and imagine that it is going to happen. It’s not just a dream – I feel like it is going to happen."

Ferne has been unlucky in love in the past, after the father of her daughter Sunday, 3, was sentenced to prison for 20 years after an acid attack in 2017.

However, the mum-of-one has been loved up and happy since meeting Lorri on holiday in Dubai last year - with the businessman even meeting and forming an "organic" bond with her daughter.

Speaking in her new interview, Ferne explained how Sunday meeting her new man was a "natural" process and there wasn't a specific moment where she introduced the young child to "Mummy's boyfriend".

"She’s quite bossy with him, but he’s used to it. He’s a parent himself and he’s patient with her and she likes him," Ferne

This isn't the first time the former I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star has discussed family plans with her boyfriend.

Speaking about her relationship with Lorri in March, Ferne explained how a lot has changed in her life since she split from the father of her first-born child.

Ferne was devastated in April 2017, when her then-boyfriend Arthur Collins was arrested for an acid attack at Mangle nightclub in Dalston, East London.

Following his arrest, Collins, 29, was sentenced to 20 years in prison - currently behind bars in HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, Bucks.

The mum-of-one was pregnant with her daughter Sunday at the time and went on to dump the father of her unborn child when she learned about the incident.

"I am different now — I am older and wiser. I have learned from mistakes," the First Time Mum star told The Sun.

"I want to have more kids, for sure," she continued to confess.

"I have met someone that I can see the rest of my future with. I can’t wait to extend my family and for Sunday to have siblings."
