She said: ‘I so desperately want it [her child’s birth] to be on the show. But we were sort of warming him [Lorri] up.
‘I’ve got this birth plan in my head, and I want a home birth and I want it to be positive. And I want everyone to see me like, pull the baby out.
‘I’ve just got this vision and he’s just like, ‘No, that’s just weird’, but I’m like, ‘It’s beautiful and it’s amazing!’ […]

Ferne has made no secret of her desire to start a family with her partner, saying she wanted a baby before the couple started planning their wedding.
Speaking in September after announcing her engagement, Ferne told Closer magazine: ‘I haven’t thought too much about wedding plans, we made the decision that we would like to have another baby first.

‘I’d love for Sunday to have a sibling, and extend and grow our family. I really want a baby now, I’m so ready, but every baby is a miracle, and it will happen when it’s meant to be.’
Looking to the future, Ferne said she definitely wants to have more children and joked about having as many as 10 kids, adding that she wants to move to the countryside by the time she is 40.
Ferne’s first pregnancy with Sunday was marred with controversy after her boyfriend at the time, Arthur Collins, was arrested for orchestrating an acid attack.
Collins is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty of carrying out a brutal acid attack in 2017. Ferne has raised Sunday as a single parent.
