Ferne McCann has debuted a new look hours after slamming ‘false’ reports that she ‘occasionally’ visited her acid attacker ex Arthur Collins in prison despite saying she’d never take her daughter back.

The 27-year-old seemed adamant to put the scandal behind her as she proudly showed of her new lighter locks in an Instagram selfie.

The Towie star, now blonde, wore comfy striped jumper as she thanked her hair stylist in her caption, also writing: ‘Fancied A Change…let’s see who has more fun.’

Ferne, who shares two-month-old daughter Sunday with Arthur, also celebrated her ‘unbelievable colour change’ in the picture posted last night.

The social media activity comes after, it was reported that during Arthur’s recent court appearance it emerged he’d hidden a mobile phone in his crutch and during this latest court appearance, his lawyer revealed Ferne often visits with their baby Sunday.



His lawyer, Rebecca Randall is said to have told the court: ‘The only reason Mr Collins had that phone was to contact, privately, his girlfriend and friends and family.

‘His girlfriend at the time was heavily pregnant with his first child.’

According to The Mirror, she then added: ‘That child is now two months old and occasionally visits him with its mother and his sister.’

However, Ferne has since spoken out to say this not the case, and in fact has only visited Collins once, which she previously spoke openly about.

She wrote that the claims are false, and reiterated she does not condone his actions:

Ferne recently told People that she took the baby into visit Collins just the once to tell him he would never get to see his daughter again.

Collins is currently residing at Category A Belmarsh prison in South London. Ferne, said: ‘I went to see Arthur and I took Sunday with me.

‘This was because I am very angry about what has happened and I needed to communicate that and wanted to hear what Arthur had to say.’

She went on: ‘I thought it was important that Arthur see Sunday and see exactly what his actions have led to him missing out on.’

The TV presenter also revealed that it had been hard taking Sunday to see him, but felt it was necessary to move on.

‘It was a difficult decision to take Sunday into that environment but I felt I needed to confront him about a number of things, which I have now done,’ she said.

Judge Nicholas Heathcote Williams QC sentenced Collins to a further eight months in prison to run consecutive to his 20-year jail term for smuggling in the mobile phone.

He was due to serve a minimum of 13 years four months for the attack, but has had a further two months added before he can apply for parole.

The Judge told him: ‘The presence of mobile phones has massive implications not only for prison establishment but also gives prisoners the opportunity to communicate in a way they would not otherwise have been able and to do things they are supposed to be prevented from doing.’
