When was the ‘Ferne McCann voice note’ allegedly sent?
According to allegations in the MailOnline, former TOWIE cast member Ferne WhatsApped the voice note to a friend in June.
If true, this would mean it was transmitted just weeks after Sam had her third child, Edward.
A source claimed that Sam was puzzled as to why Ferne would allegedly refer to her in the way that has been reported.
They claimed: “Naturally Sam is incredibly hurt and upset by these comments, especially from someone she considered to be a good friend, she’s at a loss as to why Ferne has decided to speak out about her in such a derogatory way.”
Ferne’s representatives reportedly refused to comment when approached by MailOnline.
However, a source close to Ferne is said to have suggested the recording which was released may have been edited or taken out of context.
ED! has contacted representatives for both Ferne McCann and Sam Faiers for comment.
Sam, 31, was among the original members of the TOWIE cast when the reality show launched in 2010. She has gone on to star in her own series The Mummy Diaries.
Ferne, 32, was introduced to the show as a regular three years later. She left in 2015 and went on to be part of that year’s I’m A Celebrity.
She is currently appearing in Channel 4 series Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
