Ferne McCann's fiancé Lorri Haines breaks his silence as couple quit their popular ITV show

Ferne McCann’s fiancé Lorri Haines has broken his silence after she revealed that they are quitting their ITV show.

The reality TV star sensationally announced today that she's quitting her popular show after seven years on air. The 34-year-old reality star burst into the spotlight in 2013 when she joined the cast of long-running show The Only Way Is Essex before branching off on her own.

The mum-of-two chronicled her pregnancies and personal life struggles in her own shows - titled Ferne McCann: First Time Mum and latterly Ferne McCann: My Family & Me and made over a dozen seasons of reality based drama on the two series.

The shows that focused on her away from the rest of the Towie crowd began in 2017 - but they are coming to an abrupt end as Ferne has decided to take time away from the spotlight. In news that came as a shock to fans, Ferne revealed she had decided to pull the plug on her own reality shows by sharing a string of photographs of herself on Instagram.

Ferne's fiancé Lorri Haines also shared his devastation over the news the show - of which he appears - will come to an end, writing in reaction to her Instagram post: "Awww it’s most definitely been a fun few years! I’ve enjoyed filming with you and everyone involved. I’m so proud of you for making this decision for yourself, the family and especially for the kids. Soooo many bigger things on the horizon which are very exciting. let’s gooooo x"

In an accompanying caption, Ferne announced the news as she wrote: "After an incredible 13 series I have made the very difficult decision that this series of @fernemyfamandme will be my last. Where do I begin? Firstly by saying a huge, huge thank you to each one of you that have watched my show and been on our family journey with us."

She continued: "This show has been such an incredible part of my life for the last seven years and what a ride it has been filming from being pregnant with Sunday to now. Your support and loyalty to me and my family has, at times, lifted me more than you will ever know. Thank you.

"From the day I started filming I have poured my heart and soul in to the series. I genuinely feel like I’ve laughed, cried, loved and lived with you, sharing all the ups and downs."

Ferne went on: "This decision hasn't been an easy one but it feels like now is the right time for a change. I made this decision with my children (especially Sunday who has been on this full journey with me) in mind. They are my absolute priority and Sunday is now at an age where she is very much her own little person and I want her to go out there and take her own path."

She then added: "@potatoitv and @itvxofficial@itv team are incredible and over the years have become part of the family to. thankyou so much for this wonderful opportunity. It’s not lost on me how incredible this has been and I will cherish these memories and moments that I have been lucky enough to have captured forever."

And she concluded: "I am eternally grateful to every single person who has watched the show, supported us and been there through it all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Before teasing: "New chapters await. Please enjoy series 13: it is my biggest and favourite one to date. Out this Wednesday on ITVBE 9pm and ITV."
