Ferne McCann breaks silence after voice notes row and tells fans she has ‘confronted difficulties in my life’

FERNE McCann said she has "confronted difficulties in my life" after being accused of slamming pal Sam Faiers in leaked voice notes.
A recording thought to feature Ferne’s voice sent shockwaves through Essex last month and reignited a feud between the former pals.
The ex Towie star broke her silence on Sunday night as she reflected on reaching the end of the gruelling reality TV show Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
She was one of four recruits who managed to pass the SAS selection course in the Jordanian desert.
Returning to Instagram Ferne, who has a daughter called Sunday, said: "It’s changed my life."
She added: "The whole experience makes you look at every single part of yourself - your strengths, your weaknesses, your deepest fears.

"It taught me resilience, self acceptance and that every moment is an opportunity for change.
"It’s given me the confidence to finally confront difficulties in my life, deal with them and move forward."
The First Time Mum star said leaving her daughter Sunday, who she had with her jailed ex Arthur Collins, was the toughest challenge for her.
She said: "I went in to the series to prove to myself that I can be strong and I wanted to make Sunday proud.

"It was a major shock to the system! Every day I cried for Sunday, every day I wanted to leave, my body ached and I missed home so much. But I had my personal reasons why I needed to stick it out."
She went on: "Yes I completed it and I passed but if SAS taught me anything, it taught me to take things step by step, push a little harder to the next morning, get through just to one more task.
"Moments will floor you, you will mess up but you’ve got to find that resilience & grit to pick yourself up and go again.
"Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out life will always throw something else up, and as the DS say, it’s about how you deal with it."
Friends of the star reached out beneath her post with supportive messages.
