FERNE McCann posted a video of her watching Towie with co-star James Argent just hours before her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins was sentenced.

The reality star filmed herself laughing with her pal on Instagram while the dad of her baby was caged for 20 years over a horror nightclub acid attack.

The 25-year-old finally expressed regret at injuring 22 people inside Mangle E8 in Dalston, east London, on April 17, branding the attack a "stupid little mistake".

The thug winked at his family who called back "love you Arthur" as he was led from the dock at Wood Green Crown Court to begin his sentence yesterday.

McCann, who split with Collins after the attack, posted a series of videos on her Instagram story yesterday as she joked about with pal "Arg" at her home in Brentwood, Essex.

He can be seen sitting on the floor as she says: "Arg often comes round to see me and Sunday, it's lovely. He just loves Brentwood."

Her next clip shows her applying lipstick and pouting for the camera before the pair appear to settle down in front of the Towie Christmas special.

She says: "Right, here we've got the exclusive. Arg watching himself declare his love to the GC."

After the clip plays, Ferne, 27, adds: "Wahey, love that. Merry Christmas guys."

Collins, who showed no emotion as he was sentenced on Tuesday, had been confronted by his tearful victims during the day's hearing - with one saying "imagine it was your daughter".

Phoebe Georgiou, 23, was celebrating her birthday when Collins launched the substance over crowds on the packed dancefloor.

She told Collins: "I mourn the old Phoebe. I grieve for her every day."

The brave victim added: "You couldn't find a shred of human decency to admit what you had done. I have been given a life sentence by you."

Brave Sophie Hall, 22, broke down as she faced Collins, telling him she knew when the acid was hurled at her she would be "scarred for life".

She said: "I knew my face was a mess. I could feel it in my hands. It was all blistered."

Sophie's friend Lauren Trent also wept as she explained how her birthday will "now be an anniversary of an acid attack”.

 

Collins, who had been out celebrating after discovering Ferne was pregnant with baby daughter Sunday, had admitted throwing the liquid but said he did not know it was acid.

He told Wood Green Crown Court he thought it was a date rape drug and had snatched it from two men after overhearing them planning to spike a girl's drink.

But jurors saw through his lies and he was convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent and nine counts of actual bodily harm on 14 victims.
