Ferne McCann and Rob Kardashian ‘hit it off after secret string of texts’

Ferne McCann could soon be leaving Essex for California after reportedly hitting it off with Rob Kardashian.

The Only Way Is Essex regular and Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Rob are said to have struck up a friendship after meeting in Las Vegas two years ago.

They have apparently kept in touch ever since and are planning to meet up when Rob visits the UK later in the year.

A source told the Daily Mirror: “Rob likes Ferne because she is more down-to-earth than the girls he is used to in LA and he finds her easy to talk to.”

And Ferne herself told the paper: “There’s been a few messages.

“I have got plans to go to LA, but only because I’ve wanted to go for ages.”

Fellow TOWIE star Jess Wright, who was with her at the time, added: “Shuuut uuup. You only had a picture with him outside. Did you get his number?”

Ferne replied: “Might have.”

We wonder if reclusive Rob will come out of hiding and join the TOWIE lot on a trip to Marbs soon...
