Ferne McCann Refuses To Be Called A Single Mum

Ferne McCann has said that she refuses to be called a 'single mum' as she prepares for the birth of her first child.

The former TOWIE star announced earlier this year that she was pregnant with her first child. Shortly before this, the 27-year-old separated from her then-boyfriend – and father of her unborn child – Arthur Collins after he was accused for carrying out an acid attack in London in April of this year in which 16 people were injured. He is currently on trial.

Now, speaking to OK! magazine, McCann has said that she is not dwelling on the past and instead focusing on her unborn baby.

She explained; "I'm being strong because I have to think about my baby. The whole process of being pregnant has made me a much stronger person.

"They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and it really is true. I feel like I've develop a new armour this year."

Commenting on her ex, and how he will not be present at the birth, she continued: "I don't think about that now because my mum is my birthing partner. I don't dwell on how different it could have been.

"Obviously there are moments when that does cross my mind, but I'm just focusing on the positives. In life you're dealt the hand that you're dealt, and you actually really surprise yourself with how much you can cope with."

She added: "I don't like the term single mum and I don't want to be addressed as that because I don't think you should be labelled.

"To me, I'm going to be a mum like anyone else, but just in a different situation. It shouldn't define you.

"But yes, I have done this whole pregnancy on my own, but at the same time I'm so not alone – I've got such a great support network with my mum, sister and friends. I've not felt alone or been alone once during this pregnancy."
