Heartbroken Ferne McCann supported by fiance Lorrie in emotional message as he breaks silence on her Dancing on Ice exit
HEARTBROKEN Ferne McCann has revealed how she’ll spend her free time after her Dancing On Ice axe, as she’s supported by her fiancé Lorri.
Show sources say the “humiliated” 34-year-old “cried hysterically” after becoming the second star to leave Dancing On Ice, while dressed as a troll for movie week.
Ferne became the second star to leave the show[/caption]But throwing his support behind her, Lorri Haines posted a sweet photo of them together and wrote: “I love this beautiful, inspirational powerhouse of a woman and i want to say, I am not only grateful that you are my partner in all walks of life, but I am very proud of you @fernemccann for everything you have accomplished in life to date, our amazing kids, your career and importantly your growth.”
He continued: “For anyone to learn a new skill (in such a short time) is super hard, and not forgetting also being a full time mum, a business owner and then doing something like dancing on ice in-front of thousands of people is something many would not dream of doing!
“I think you smashed the performance, it was so fun to watch, and now you have a skill for life, I’ll be the one holding the penguin round the and your be doing loops, jumps and swirls. Well done babe! On to the next…. Let’s gooooooooo.”
And revealing how they might spend the next few weeks, given Ferne’s clear schedule, the mum-of-two penned beneath the photo: “Ahhhhhh baby love you, right now I’m back and we have 6 weeks spare can we play golf together and go skiing ?”
It comes as show sources told The Sun that Ferne had a shock meltdown after being axed.
Former Towie star Ferne was said to be so upset that she cut short her ‘lap of honour’ around the ice – and hid her face from the crowd.
“She had a meltdown in front of everyone after coming off the ice backstage”, said an insider, who overheard the raging mum of two.
“Ferne kept saying ‘this doesn’t make sense’ and ‘it wasn’t meant to be like this’.
“She couldn’t understand how she didn’t get the votes – despite having the most followers online.
“It was made even worse that she was voted out on the night she was dressed like a troll. She feels humiliated.”
Ferne landed in the bottom two with EastEnders star Charlie Brooks after receiving the fewest votes in last night’s show.
She was immediately thrown out of the competition without the opportunity to fight for a place in the skate-off.

Girona vs Arsenal preview
Arsenal know a point or more will guarantee them progression to the knockouts as one of the top eight sides.
In fact, even defeat would mean an unlikely outcome of results to knock them out their position, which helps evade the play off rounds.
So how might that impact Mikel Arteta’s team selection, with two mammoth games up next.
Their fading title hopes mean no slip-ups and that’s put to the test at home to the champions Manchester City.
Just a few days later they’re up north to try and overturn a 2-0 deficit in the Carabao Cup semi final against Newcastle.
So it’s probably just as well they’re already essentially through and face a mid-table La Liga side who are already out.
The Gunners are still upset with Michael Oliver’s decision to send off Myles Lewis-Skelly but recovered well to beat ten-man Wolves on Saturday.
Girona have just three points from their seven games, sitting 31st of 36 in the Champions League table and eighth in La Liga having lost their last three games in all competitions.

Girona vs Arsenal predictions and tips
Combo
Despite all that’s been said above, I still fancy Arsenal to get the better of the Spanish side.
They have nothing to play for and Mikel Arteta will be keen for his side to keep up some momentum heading into a crucial few days.
Kai Havertz will likely lead the line as they don’t really have anyone else that can play there, so this selection is based around him.

He’s no (Y)angel
Girona will likely spend the majority of the night without the ball, so looking for their players in the booking markets brings us to one man.
Yangel Herrera SIX bookings from 12 La Liga appearances and one in his four showings in this competition.
The central midfielder isn’t long back from injury and has been booked in two of his three starts since. In a competitive part of the field too and his price looks awfully generous.

EastEnders issues urgent warning after soap fans hit by scammers – days after Corrie and Emmerdale also targeted by con
EASTENDERS has released an urgent statement after scammers targeted fans of the BBC soap.
The warning follows similar fraudulent activity aimed at viewers of ITV shows Coronation Street and Emmerdale earlier this week.
EastEnders has released an urgent statement after scammers targeted fans of the BBC soap[/caption]The show’s official Instagram account posted a message to caution fans about con artists pretending to be affiliated with EastEnders yesterday.
The scam sees fraudsters claiming to represent soap stars or production staff and asking fans for payments in exchange for special interactions, such as meet-and-greets, personalised messages, or set tours.
Fans are encouraged to report any fraudulent contact to the social media platform and to avoid engaging with the scammers.
The statement read: “Please note that no cast member or EastEnders employee will ever make contact to request money for meetings, messages, set visits, or any other interactions.
“If you have been contacted, especially on social media platforms via a direct message or mass message posted to a group, please ensure you report these instances to the relevant platform immediately.
“The EastEnders team.”
EastEnders joins the ranks of other British soaps in battling this ongoing issue, urging the public to remain cautious and reminding viewers that genuine cast or crew members would never solicit money.
It comes after a woman was tricked into giving nearly one million euros to a scammer posing as Brad Pitt.
The victim, known only as Anne, gave over £700,000 to a scammer posing as the Hollywood actor for his cancer treatment as he wrote her poems and proposed to her.
The woman’s lawyer has begged the public for mercy – as their client deleted all of her social media pages due to the scrutiny she faced, reports The Daily Mail.
Paris-based lawyer Laurène Hanna said: “It’s like people are discovering only now that people get scammed.
“Love scams on the internet are not new. Anne is really not the only one.
“What my client needs is to be given some sensible advice and to be treated with dignity.”
It is believed she has been left homeless and penniless from the scam.

MANCHESTER UNITED legend Rio Ferdinand said he would threaten to sue manager Ruben Amorim if he talked about him the same way he did with Marcus Rashford.
Rashford, 27, has not played for United since December 12, with Amorim, 40, leaving him out of the squad for every game since apart from one, in which he was an unused substitute.
The star forward was once again omitted on Sunday when Man Utd won 1-0 at Fulham and the Portuguese tactician was once again quizzed about the player’s situation at Old Trafford.
The ex-Sporting Lisbon boss then stated he would prefer to have 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital on his bench ahead of the out-of-favour England international.
Amorim said: “The reason [why Rashford is not playing] is the training, what I think a footballer should do in training, in life and every day.
“I will put [in] Vital before I put [in] a player who doesn’t give the maximum every day.”
Ferdinand, 46, insists he would be furious if a manager ever spoke about him like that.
The ex-England international is adamant he would hold a press conference to bash those claims, if they were indeed baseless.
The popular pundit even suggested he would sue the head coach for questioning his “effort” if he was in Rashford’s shoes.
Speaking on his Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, the former United defender said: “If it isn’t true and it was me he said that about, I am coming out all guns blazing.

“I’m holding a press conference, I’m coming out and saying, ‘I’m having no one chat about me like that in the media’.
“But you only come out if you’re 100 per cent sure that nobody can say you take the shortcuts.
“Sometimes I think in these situations, if you’re doing things right, communicate it.
“Because the manager can question how well or bad I’m playing, or my form, but if he’s questioning my effort, I’m sorry, I’m coming back out, next time I’m around any press people – ‘the effort, he needs to take that back or I’m suing him’.
“I would love to sit across the table from Marcus, look in his eyes and go, ‘Can you say that? Could you be confident enough to go out and do that? Because if you can’t, look at yourself’.”
Tyson Fury and Paris enjoy romantic weekend away at luxury Trump hotel in Scotland as boxer enjoys retirement
TYSON FURY and wife Paris enjoyed a romantic weekend away as the boxer settled into retirement.
The Gypsy King, 35, announced he would be stepping away from the ring yet again following his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last month.
Paris dazzled in a smart pink outfit[/caption] The pair enjoyed afternoon tea[/caption]It is not the first time Fury has declared he is retired – having done so atfer beating Dillian Whyte in April 2022 – but it is still welcome news for Paris and his family.
The couple enjoyed a weekend getaway to Ayrshire, Scotland and visited Trump Turnberry Golf Resort.
They enjoyed afternoon tea and Paris dressed for the occasion, wearing a stunning pink suit jacket with a matching skirt.
Paris, 35, shared some photos and videos from their trip on social media, where she professed her love for Scotland.
Fury appeared very relaxed and gave the camera a big smile in one photo with his wife.
He announced his retirement last month, saying: “Hey everybody, I am going to make it short and sweet. I would like to announce my retirement from boxing.
“It has been a blast and I have loved every single minute of it.
“I’m going to end with this – Dick Turpin wore a mask.

“God bless everybody and see you on the other side.”
Fury hanging up the gloves means he will give up an eye-watering payday against Anthony Joshua.
SunSport understands a two fight deal with AJ would be worth around £500m, meaning Fury is effectively giving up a staggering £250m pay cheque by retiring.
