Ferne McCann has hinted at major plans to have another child with her fiancé Lorri Haines.
The former TOWIE star, 34, who denied claims back in November that she’d parted ways with Lorri, 33, is mother to two daughters, sharing Finty, 18 months, with her fiancé and Sunday, seven, with a previous partner.
And in a new interview, Ferne has told how there could be another baby on the cards in the future.
She told Closer magazine: ‘I was clearing out my drawers recently, and I found some maternity clothes, and I said to Lorri, ‘Should I put these in the loft? Are we going to go again?’
‘And he replied: ‘Yes … I reckon we will.’ I don’t feel like I’m completely done.’
Th star attended her good pal Vicky Pattison’s lavish wedding to Ercan Ramadan in Italy last year, and it has made her and Lorri – whom she got engaged to in 2022 – want to speed up their marriage plans.

Ferne confessed: ‘It gave us wedding fever!’
It comes after the Dancing On Ice star got candid about her relationship with Lorri, whom has a son from a former partner, as she admitted that the couple are ‘not constantly upbeat and positive’.
The star admitted that juggling their blended families with their busy careers means that her and Lorri get less time alone together, but explained they were working on getting their spark back.
She confessed to OK! magazine: ‘I think this is my first proper relationship and we are juggling so much with businesses and raising our children together; we’re a blended family, with lots of different personalities. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not constantly upbeat and positive, but we’re very much together and doing life together.
‘When you’ve got multiple children, it’s a lot. We’re both busy working and it’s like any household, it’s about the moving parts. Sometimes we can be like passing ships if he’s in the office and I’m working – it can be tough.’
Last year, the reality star admitted that she and Lorri sleep in separate bedrooms and even sought the help of an intimacy coach to get their romance back on track.
But Ferne confirmed that the couple are now ‘back in the same bed’ and have been ‘getting the intimacy back’ into their relationship.
She explained: ‘You really have to prioritise it when you’ve got children, it’s easy for it to be bottom of the pile. We had a baby and are very busy. But now we prioritise intimacy, and communication is key. You get those rare moments where you can have quality time together.’

In a previous interview with Heat, Ferne had shared how her and Lorri’s session with an intimacy coach had been ‘really insightful’.
She recalled how they did a lot of non-sexual activities that were focused on helping them improve their communication as well as other skills that can be transferred to the bedroom.
Ferne insisted that most parents would agree that once a baby is born sex is out the window, because it is no longer a priority.
She also cited her pets, business, and television show as reasons why she struggles to find the time and energy to be intimate with Lorri.
Elsewhere, Lorri ‘didn’t seem very close’ to her mother at the Dancing On Ice recording on Sunday, according to The Sun.
The TOWIE legend took to the rink for the first time during the launch episode of the ITV1 skating show but an audience member has now alleged that Lorri and Gilly ‘barely spoke’ to each other on the night.
The audience member told The Sun: ‘They didn’t seem very close at all. They both spoke to Sunday but barely exchanged a word to each other.
It was very bizarre, and it was clear there was some tension in the air.’

They even alluded to the ‘struggles’ between Ferne and her significant other lately, and suggested that was why there seemed to be a frosty atmosphere.
They added: ‘It’s no secret Ferne and Lorri have had their struggles recently, so perhaps that’s why things appeared strained.’
MailOnline has contacted Ferne’s representatives for comment.
The reality star was the second star to take to the ice with her pro partner Brendyn Hatfield as they performed to Lily Allen’s song, Somewhere Only We Know.
Ferne made it through without any trips or stumbles and the panel praised her debut, scoring her a respectable 26.5.
But as they spoke, host Stephen Mulhern noted that Ferne was emotional and fighting back tears.
She said: ‘I feel really emotional, I’ve got tiny tears. I’m just so happy, I really enjoyed it.’
Ferne admitted she was struggling to keep it together before Stephen pointed out her daughter Sunday
