Ferne McCann slammed by shocked fans over 'dangerous' moment with baby daughter Finty
It marks her first ITV1 primetime series since leaked audio caught her slamming the victims of her acid attacker ex, Arthur Collins.
Ferne apologised for her comments in 2022, which she said were “manipulated, edited and taken entirely out of context."
ALL CHANGE
The reality TV star then told how her daughter Sunday, aged six, played a part in her quitting her own show.
Ferne said: "I felt in my heart it was the right time.
She also reinforced the heartbreaking reason she made her final decision, confirming her comments at the weekend.
Ferne said the catalyst for ending her show was when her Year Two aged daughter asked her if she was "famous".
"The show has been going on for so long that we joked we’d still be filming when Sunday had children and be calling it Second Time Nan," she told the Mirror.
But I knew the time would eventually come to either have a break or stop altogether, and for the last year I’ve been thinking about it.
"The point where everything changed was when Sunday actually said to me: ‘Am I famous?’ A few of her friends had seen her on an advert.
“And I was like: ‘Oh I don’t know…’ It made me feel uncomfortable, because I don’t want her to feel she is different Sunday has done the show since she was born, so she’s always been aware of the cameras, but we’d never felt she was aware of the situation."

Ferne revealed that Sunday has never watched the show, but said daughter's innocent comment made her rethink her future on the show.
"After that it felt like a whole different ball game, so I went away and worked out what I was feeling, and it felt like the right time to stop," she added.
