Ferne McCannappeared on The Only Way Is Essex, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! AND is a showbiz reporter on This Morning – so you could say she's established herself as a reality TV queen.
She ate a live spider on I'm A Celebrity and literally cried after eating a chilli on live telly, but there's far more to the star than unfortunate experiences with food. Read on to find out all you need to know about Ferne McCann.
Ferne McCann in TOWIE
She started on The Only Way Is Essex in 2013 (when the show was in its ninth series) and was a regular cast member. She made her debut while on holiday in Marbella with good friend Sam Faiers, and was notably in an on/off relationship with Charlie Sims.
Ferne McCann's appearance in I'm A Celebrity
Ferne was placed third (after Spencer Matthews sure? He quit… and Vicky Pattison) in the fifteenth series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015. She notably once ate a MASSIVE LIVE SPIDER as part of a trial, which understandably drew in almost 1500 Ofsted complaints.

Does Ferne McCann have a book?

And it could be one of our FAVE EVER celeb autobiographies. It's packed with hilarious anecdotes (inc one about her wedding Russell Brand), allllll da gossip, and the alarming revelation that she used to hate clean clothes.
Each to their own, Ferne hun.
Ferne McCann's relationship with Charlie Sims
She was in a relationship with fellow TOWIE cast member Charlie Sims for five years, before it was revealed he cheated on her during a lads' holiday to Ibiza.
While Ferne was appearing in I'm A Celebrity (alongside Vicky Pattison), Charlie claimed in an interview that he had slept with Vicky too, which was… awkward.
In her book, she denied that she'd ever get back with him, saying: "I will always love and adore Charlie – he was my best friend and I hope he always will be.
"What we had was to be celebrated, but we are different from before and going backwards isn’t something I think would be right for either of us."
Ferne McCann's friendship with Vicky Pattison
Despite Charlie's claim, the two became firm friends during the show – and even went on a Thelma and Louise-inspired road trip for its 25th anniversary (friendship goals).
Ferne McCann's friendship with George Shelley
She was romantically involved with cast mate George Shelley, and the two remain very good friends. She supported him when he came out as bisexual, and admitted that she had separation anxiety when she left him after I'm A Celebrity.
"I developed severe separation anxiety [after coming out of I’m A Celebrity] and I missed him so much more than I thought was possible.
"It was a tight, plutonic bond that will not be broken because I love being in his company."
Has Ferne McCann had lip fillers?
Like many of the TOWIE women, Ferne has been subject to a great deal of surgery speculation. Many believed that she'd had lip fillers after she was spotted with a suspiciously larger-looking pout in Marbella earlier this year. But she told heat: "It's so annoying when people say I've had work done! Well, to set the record straight, no I have not had my lips done or anything else for that matter.
"Yes, I love a good pout but it doesn't mean I've had my lips done."
Ferne McCann's nose job
She has, however, admitted to having a nose job – and made the big reveal live on This Morning.
She explained: "I’m not getting it done because I want to get closer to being beautiful. It’s not about that.
"It’s just something that I don’t like, and every day I look in the mirror, it knocks my confidence."
Is her hair real?
We can probably all agree that Ferne's hair is UH-MAZING, and her long locks are the product of extensions added in 2016. She uploaded this before and after pic to Instagram, captioning it: "Your hair is your errrrrrday accessory. Ok so when @shane_o_sullivan finished putting my @easilockshair extensions in, I kid you not, I sat in the chair & cried! If your hair is in check you can feel a MILLION DOLLAS!"
