Ferne McCann has been sharing her life as a mum on her ITVBe show for a while now.
Once an aspiring actress, the reality star has given fans a close look at her professional and personal life.
But things haven’t been easy for Ferne over the years, and her family life has been rocked by heartbreak and prison sentences.
So what exactly has been going on?
Ferne McCann: Dad to Sunday Skye
Ferne McCann’s baby dad is convict and drug dealer Arthur Collins, who is now in prison for 20 years.
Arthur Collins was arrested after carrying out an acid attack in a London nightclub which injured 16 people.
Some of his victims have been left with life changing injuries after receiving third degree burns- and two people are now blind.
The former scaffolder had then gone on the run after his attack, and evaded police for six days before being discovered in an abandoned house in Northampton.

Sammy Kimmence: Dani Dyer splits from banged up boyfriend
Ferne was already pregnant at the time of the attack.
Arthur Collins had pleaded not guilty in court, but received the maximum sentence. He later pleaded guilty to smuggling a phone into prison, which added an extra eight months to his jail time.
Ferne immediately released a statement announcing she had split from the former scaffolder.
Speaking at Arthur’s sentencing, the judge said:
“He has expressed not the least remorse for carrying and using a highly corrosive acid.
The injuries must have been extremely painful and utterly terrifying.”
And it seems that Ferne will have no problems in telling her daughter Sunday Skye about the crimes her father has committed.

Frankie Sims: Who is the TOWIE starlet dating?
Speaking with Closer magazine, Ferne said:
“I like to show reality on my show and the good times and the bad. I want people to see me as genuine.
But when I have to have that conversation with Sunday and explain certain things, it will be a private thing.”
Dating Disasters
And Ferne’s love life hasn’t exactly been smooth since she dumped her criminal boyfriend.
Soon after Arthur Collins received his prison sentence, the former TOWIE star went on to date Jordan Hames- but it’s not clear how long the pair were together for.
Ferne McCann swiftly moved on to Albie Gibbs after meeting him while on holiday in Dubai. And it seemed like one of the star’s more promising relationships in recent years.
The reality starlet made it clear she was in love with Albie, and revealed that he was interested in marrying her.
But things weren’t destined to last between the pair as Albie found Ferne’s celebrity lifestyle difficult to keep up with.
Ferne claimed that the couple split as she couldn’t cope with their long-distance relationship.
After even more heartbreak, things finally looked like they were settling down for Ferne when she met model and marketing manager Jack Padgett, who she described as “The One”.

Jack ended up moving in with the reality star and three-year-old Sunday during lockdown, and the couple seemed smitten.
But last month it was revealed that the pair had split because they were “at different stages” in their lives.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said:
“Ferne has called time on her relationship with Jack Padgett. Ferne said it was a case of ‘right guy wrong time’.
It was clear to all of us that they were both on different paths.
Jack’s life revolves around hosting events and nightlife because that’s his job. Whereas Ferne is all about family, work and security. Her working days are so full on that their diaries literally clashed.”
So will Ferne end up finding her dream man sometime soon? We’ve got our fingers crossed for her.
