Revealing her pregnancy body on holiday in Turkey, Ferne McCann is feeling sexier than ever. As she counts down the weeks until the arrival of her second child, the 32-year-old enjoyed a getaway with her fiancé Lorri Haines in the popular resort of Antalya.
Posing by the pool, the former TOWIE star was glowing as she showed off her baby bump in a purple bikini.
Now back in her homeland of Essex, Ferne opens up to new about finding confidence in her prenatal figure and why she feels “really feminine” in her pregnancy physique.
“I’ve honestly never felt sexier in my body,” she explains. “Me and Lorri were laughing the other day, because he said to me, ‘You’re always naked!’ And yeah, I am, but it’s roasting, so what else can you do? I sometimes catch myself walking past the mirror and [I’m like] ‘Yeah, she’s looking good.’ I feel at my prime femininity and really sexy and that’s not in an arrogant way, but I finally feel confident in myself. I’m embracing my lumps and bumps.”
She continues, “I love these final stages of pregnancy. Everything feels really compact and taut. I just embrace being pregnant – it’s mind-blowing, magical and crazy all at the same time. It’s such a surreal, alien feeling. I’ll never get over that there’s a little human inside of me. I love the female form.”
As well as her blossoming baby bump, Ferne, who is also mum to Sunday, five, from a previous relationship, has noticed a change in other parts of her body.
“I find it mental the journey of your boobs,” she says. “Everything gets fuller and voluptuous and curvier. The boobs are ready for breastfeeding, put it that way. We keep joking about the circumference of the nipples, they have seriously taken over.”
Body confidence isn’t something that’s always come so naturally to Ferne. She previously admitted to wanting a boob job after breastfeeding Sunday caused sagging, and also went under the knife for a nose job in 2016. However, the change in self-esteem not only comes from within, but from her partner Lorri, 32.
“I really need to give credit to my relationship because I’ve never been comfortable enough in the past to be fully stark naked, boobs out and ‘Here I am in my natural state.’ I would never embrace me as I am. I would get changed in another room. It’s a nice thought that I can be so open with him because I’m now so comfortable with myself.
“After I had Sunday and I breastfed for six months, I used to joke about my boobs, saying they were spaniel ears, golf balls in socks, when actually they fed my baby and they perked up again over two years. I spoke about wanting a boob job and I just don’t feel like that anymore.”
The couple’s romance has been a whirlwind. Ferne and Lorri got engaged last July, six months after they first started dating. Eight months later, they announced they were preparing to welcome their first child together.
After years of unsuccessful relationships, this fairy-tale romance is doing wonders for Ferne’s confidence. “Someone said, ‘You’ll meet someone that’ll love not only your boobs but you for who you are.’ And that’s such a reassuring place, especially for me to be in a relationship where I can be that confident, not just in myself, but with my partner as well.’ He really makes me feel good and he’ll stop and go, ‘You actually look amazing.’”
Although Ferne has had to ditch her high-intensity exercise regime of weight training and cardio during pregnancy because of pressure on her pelvic bone, it’s been her priority to keep as active as possible in preparation for the birth.
“My exercise regime has definitely changed, but I do lead and live a really active lifestyle. I want to be active – I don’t want to go into this labour feeling exhausted, I want to feel ready and prepared physically as well as mentally.
“I’ve been on the birth ball as much as possible. I’ve been walking Sunday to school, doing yoga once a week. I’m six years older than when I gave birth the last time. I just want to be as prepped as I possibly can be.”
Due to give birth this summer, Ferne is excited for the arrival of her little one and to finally find out the gender.
“So many people think that I know and I genuinely don’t. I’m so looking forward to finding out if it’s going to be a girl or boy and my mind changes every single day. I don’t even have an inkling.
“This pregnancy’s flown by, where I almost don’t feel ready, I feel like I’m going to be more shocked with this baby than I was with Sunday. Second time round life doesn’t stop, but we’re so excited as a family.”
We can’t wait to meet them, Ferne!
