Sam Faiers has posted on social media for the first time after Ferne McCann was accused of calling her a "fat c***" in a leaked voice note.
The mother of three ignored the drama and shared a snap of her daughter Rosie heading to school with a tin of beans for the Harvest Festival. This comes after a leaked voice note, allegedly featuring Ferne, speaking about her close friend and former TOWIE co-star.
Ferne has been accused of sending the voice note to a friend, and has since been leaked on social media. The voice on the recording is heard saying: “Sam Faiers is fat c***. Her thighs are so big and I looked really skinny today.”
It is not known what triggered the voice note or who Ferne is said to have originally sent it to. Sam is believed to have unfollowed and blocked Ferne since hearing the message.
A source told MailOnline: "Naturally Sam is incredibly hurt and upset by these comments, especially from someone she considered to be a good friend, she's at a loss as to why Ferne has decided to speak out about her in such a derogatory way."
Last night a new recording was shared on Instagram with audio of a person who sounds like Ferne, saying: “She is just a narcissistic b***h . It’s just so s**t on people that have worked hard, because she’s got a big following. It’s just ridiculous, it’s out of order.”
Again it’s not clear if the person speaking is Ferne or who they are referring to.
Ferne and Sam are yet to comment publicly on the situation but Sam’s furious mum Suzie called it a “vile attack”. She told her followers: "Ferne has always been a very close family member to all of us over the past 20 years. It appears the voice note was sent just weeks after Samantha gave birth back in May."
Suzie went on: "Since the 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!”
The two stars grew up in Essex together and went on to star alongside one another in The Only Way Is Essex, before Sam quit in 2014 and Ferne followed two years later. Their friendship became strained in 2017 when Ferne launched her own reality show, Ferne McCann: First Time Mum, which documented her pregnancy and the birth of daughter Sunday, who she shares with ex Arthur Collins.
The launch of the programme came a few years after Sam launched The Baby Diaries, which was swiftly followed by The Mummy Diaries - and sources say Sam thought Ferne was “copying her”. But the rift ended in 2018 at Sam’s sister Billie’s hen do in Ibiza - as Ferne is best friends with Billie, the pair had to come face to face.
