Ferne, who is mother to daughter Sunday, three, went public with the model in late December after first meeting five years ago, and she admitted moving in together so quickly has ‘fast-forwarded’ her romance with her ‘calm and kind’ beau.

‘I didn’t want to be called a single parent when I was pregnant. I didn’t want to be labelled with it, because I hadn’t come to terms with the fact I was going to be a single parent yet. Until I started living and being it, that was when I felt really proud.

‘The misconception is not that you’ve failed, but obviously you don’t plan to be a single parent – although I know some people do.’

When asked what the toughest part of being a single mother is, the former TOWIE star said managing the responsibility of raising a child on your own, without having the option to share the load with a partner.
