Dancing On Ice: Ferne McCann has backstage meltdown after being sent home, who is left and when is the final?

Ferne McCann reportedly had a backstage meltdown and broke down in tears after she was sent home for the competition over the weekend. The reality TV star, 34, was the second celebrity to be eliminated from the competition after Chelsee Healy was voted off last week.

Speaking to the ITV hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, Ferne said: “I'm so gutted, so gutted. But it is what it is. We were having so much fun, I'm really sad. Brendyn, you've been amazing, thank you so much. It's been brilliant. So fantastic.”

According to The Sun the former TOWIE star is said to be “furious” with friends who didn’t help to keep her in the competition. An insider told the publication: “Her closest friends didn’t even post the ITV number to save her or encourage their fans to vote. One of her best friends totally ignored it even though she’s been there for them through thick and thin.”

Is Ferne McCann still friends with Sam and Billie Faiers?

Ferne McCann had a very public fallout with TOWIE co-stars sisters Sam and Billie Faiers. The former friends fell out in 2022 after Ferne branded Sam a “fat c***” in a leaked voice note. Despite Ferne apologising and saying her comments were “manipulated, edited and taken entirely out of context”, Sam's sister Billie still doesn't speak to Fern.

The celebrities left in the competition are;

• Michaela Strachan
• Mollie Pearce
• Dan Edgar
• Sam Aston
