Ferne McCann’s fiancé, Lorri Haines, has been baptised after finding God – and says the experience was a ‘release of every burden, pain, and void’ in his life.
The psychology and EFT practitioner, 33, took to his Instagram story on Tuesday to share a short clip from his religious ceremony last week.
He captioned the post: ‘Last week… I took one of the most meaningful steps of my life I was baptised.
‘There’s no feeling quite like surrendering yourself fully to God and to Jesus Christ, it’s a peace that runs deeper than words; a release of every burden, pain, and void you’ve ever carried.
‘It’s that moment you stop trying to control everything and simply trust in something greater, something eternal.
‘I’ve never felt more alive, more free, or more certain that his plan is far bigger and better than anything I could ever create alone.’

The psychology and EFT practitioner, 33, first met Ferne, 35, in Dubai in 2022 after he messaged her through social media while she was on holiday with her daughter, Sunday
Lorri also shared another short video of himself climbing into a bath of water as he prepared for his baptism.
He captioned the clip: ‘A small snippet of the moment just before I gave my life to Christ (prayer hands emoji).’
Ferne, 35, and Lorri first met in Dubai in 2022 after he messaged her through social media while she was on holiday with her daughter, Sunday.
The TV personality then announced her engagement to Lorri, just seven months after they went public with their romance.
Ferne, who denied claims back in November that she’d parted ways with Lorri, is a mother to two daughters, sharing Finty, two, with her fiancé and Sunday, seven, with a previous partner.
Lorri isn’t the only TV personality to explore his faith recently.
Reality stars Matilda Draper and Roman Hackett turned to God earlier this year and shared a video of their joint baptism.
Matilda said: ‘When everything felt stuck or hopeless God showed up, a few years ago I had social anxiety which affected my relationships with friends and family, my job and affected the way I lived in general.
And on Tuesday, he took to his Instagram story to share a short clip from his religious ceremony last week
He captioned the post: ‘Last week… I took one of the most meaningful steps of my life I was baptised. There’s no feeling quite like surrendering yourself fully to God and to Jesus Christ’
‘I had to stop relying on myself and put my trust in Jesus and that’s when everything changed because of him I wake up each day feeling more positive, confident, rounded and more grateful and more hopeful.
‘The more challenges I face I know God is a constant. Here today to tell him I will follow him wholeheartedly.’
Following her speech, Matilda kissed Roman before a second clip showed the pair standing in a bath of water being baptised individually.
Following the baptism, the pair looked happier than ever as they hugged, celebrating their religion.
Meanwhile, Terry Coldwell had his head dunked under water for several seconds by former henchman to the Kray twins, ex-gangster Chris Lambrianou, during his baptism in June.
The scene saw 50-year-old Terry become one of seven born-again Christians immersed in a baptism pool at the River Church in London’s East End as a public declaration of faith.
He told DailyMail afterwards: ‘I’ve just been baptised and I feel absolutely amazing. The service has been phenomenal today.

‘I just feel great. I feel it was a long time coming, and I’m really glad I did it.’
While Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, 30, who is engaged to fiancée Holly Ramsay, previously revealed that religion had saved him from alcoholism, depression and the separation from the mother of his son, Eirianedd Munro.
It helped get him back in the pool after taking a break from the sport. He competed in the Paris Olympics this year and added a silver medal to his trophy cabinet.
Adam, who was born in Staffordshire, was raised Catholic and was always partially spiritual, but in recent years, he joined an Evangelical Church, where he attends almost every Sunday.
He now describes himself as ‘a religious man’ and told The Times: ‘I’d rather have my faith and my relationship with Jesus and come second than have a gold.’
Adam now prays every day without fail and has inked a cross onto his torso in the latest addition to his collection of large tattoos.
