FEW confess to being bored in the bedroom, but former TOWIE star Ferne McCann has broken the mould as she admits to hiring an intimacy coach to spice up her relationship. The mum-of-two who is engaged to businessman, Lorri Haines, 33, has told how their sex life has dwindled since the birth of their one-year-year-old daughter Finty, which made her take drastic action. She said: At first I was like, ‘Is this a bit gimmicky?’ I felt a bit strange about suggesting an intimacy coach.
But, let’s be honest, for many couples after they have a baby, sex goes out the window. There’s no normal, but we were having sex barely once a month. It’s what’s normal for the couple.
“I’ve never been shy to talk about these topics, so I thought, let’s share it. I’d never experienced a lack of intimacy, so it was a very interesting journey. I was so invested.
Lorri, not so much, but I was just grateful that he was willing and up for it.” In an interview with OK magazine, the reality star revealed that their intimacy journey involved exploring 'love Languages' which led to some artistic expression. “I did body painting, which was hysterical.
I literally squashed my boobs on to a canvas, because I’m at the stage where I feel like, let’s just live and be free, and have fun doing it. What’s another pair of boobs?!” The star hung the artwork in her house – and though it did make her feel empowered, she confesses she has since taken it down, because it kept falling off the wall. “I was worried it was a sign our relationship was doomed,” she adds, laughing.
Sessions with the intimacy coach will feature in the 13th series of her new popular ITVbe series: Ferne McGann: My family and me. The reality star first took us on her motherhood journey in her series First Time Mum after the birth of her daughter Sunday in 2017. Since then she has entertained us with several series of her fly-on-the-wall reality show and recently she launched the mental health app Shoorah with her fiancé, Dubai-based jeweller, Lorri.
In April 2017 her life came crashing down when her boyfriend Arthur Collins was arrested for an acid attack at Mangle nightclub in Dalston, East London. Ferne was pregnant at the time with their daughter Sunday — and just days before the attack, the couple had posed for a glossy magazine cover and said they planned to marry. Collins, 29, was later sentenced to 20 years behind bars — with an extra five years on licence.
He lost his appeal against the sentence and is still locked up at Category A HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, Bucks. Ferne later spoke of her devastation on her ITVBe series First Time Mum. She said: “You find out you’re pregnant, you’re so excited — and then your whole life and world is turned upside down.
It was like absolute hell.” Now she makes it clear her life has changed a lot since her relationship with Collins. She says: “I am different now — I am older and wiser.
I have learned from mistakes.” And so sure is Ferne of her romance with Lorri, that she cannot wait for them to expand their family. Ferne says: “I want to have more kids, for sure.
“I have met someone that I can see the rest of my future with. I can’t wait to extend my family and for Sunday to have siblings.” Far from being done with having babies, Fearne also adds that she's keen to have another baby in the not to distant future.
She said: “I quite fancy having another big gap, and then, if I’m lucky enough to have another baby nearer to when I’m 40 — which actually isn’t that far away...
never say never. I don’t feel done!” “I’ve got a theory, and I’ll share it with you,” adds Ferne, who admits she has held on to Finty’s Moses basket and newborn clothes. “If you keep your old baby stuff, without even thinking about it, you are manifesting, subconsciously, another child.
” No wonder Ferne has decided to dust off her sex life. The most searched sex positions..
