Ferne McCann off of TOWIE and Celebs Go Dating fame's confirmed she's pregnant with ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins' baby, with her rep saying she 'does not wish to discuss the pregnancy further' but 'is in no way seeking sympathy for her situation.'
The news of Ferne's pregnancy first broke last weekend as her ex-boyfriend and father of her baby Arthur Collins was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following an acid attack at London's Mangle E8 club on April 17th.
Chatting to OK! magazine, Ferne's rep explained: "Ferne is grateful for the sympathetic way news of her pregnancy has been covered and people's support and obviously her first concern is for her child's health.
"Accordingly she does not wish to discuss the pregnancy further given the early stage it is at and the immense strain that Ferne is currently under.
"Nor does she wish to discuss her ex-boyfriend who she does not recognise from the events of the last week.
"Ferne is in no way seeking sympathy for her situation and is determined to do all she can to have a happy and heathy child and face the challenges of being a single parent with all her energy. Her thoughts are with the victims of the horrific attack on Easter Monday."
In a statement, Metropolitan Police said: 'Arthur Collins, 25, was arrested at an address in Rushden, Northampts on Saturday night, 22 April by officers from the Met’s Specialist Crime & Operations and Hackney Borough, with the assistance of armed officers from the East Midlands Operational Support Service (EMOpSS) and Northamptonshire Police.
'Collins has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He will be taken into custody at a London police station in due course.'
