Three Towie legends reunite for baby’s 1st birthday – eight years after quitting show
A TRIO of TOWIE legends delighted fans as they reunited eight years after quitting the show for a special milestone moment.
It came as Ferne McCann, 33, marked the first birthday of her youngest daughter Finty with a special fairy-themed party.
The proud mum invited former co-stars Danielle Armstrong, 36, and James Argent, 36, to join in the fun, sparking a mini TOWIE reunion.
Mum of two Ferne joined the ITVBe reality series in 2013 and was a fan-favourite for three years.
She quit in 2016 after starring on I’m A Celebrity and issued a message on her page on X which read: “Many of you have been wondering if I will be returning back to Essex after my adventure Down Under.
“I have been super busy since I’ve been back from Australia which means you won’t be seeing as much of this on The Only Way Is Essex.
“To be honest with you, you might enjoy the break!
“However, if any of my friends ever need me or need my advice I will make sure I am back to Essex to help them.”
Yet she has stayed close with Danielle – who she works with at HerbalLife as an ambassador – as well as Arg, who is a close family friend and previously accompanied Ferne and her kids on holiday.
The Arg Band vocalist uploaded a cheeky snap showing him sitting between the beauties and their kids.
He showed off his recent weight loss in a black shirt and matching trousers and gushed in his caption: “Finty’s first birthday,” along with a red Emoji love heart.
Meanwhile, Ferne uploaded an in-depth look into the magical celebratory bash on her Instagram Stories.
An array of lilac, cream and purple balloons filled her home, along with boards painted with an array of woodland fairies.
A board announced: “Finty’s fairy first birthday,” and was emblazoned with the little girl’s name.
A shot posted to Instagram showed proud parents Ferne and her fiancé Lorri Haines cuddling up against the display.
Ferne looked styling in a nude floral dress with a riffled hemline.
She styled her brunette locks poker straight and finished off with a pricey Van Cleef and Arpels necklace.
Lorri opted for a beige top with smart black jeans as they played host for the day.
Yet little Finty was the star of the show, dressed in a lilac dress with a ruffle skirt section.
She dived straight to the ball pit section decorated with her name – while a picture of her face could be seen tacked onto red party straws in a cute tribute to her special day.
Ferne’s eldest Sunday set the perfect party trend with her Barbie-themed bash back in November.
OH BABY
Finty is Ferne’s first child with partner Lorri.
She shares her eldest Sunday, aged six, with ex Arthur Collins who was later jailed for throwing acid over nightclub goers.
Her brood enjoy a lavish lifestyle including £49K holidays a whopping 11 times a year.
Thanks to her 2.9million followers, Ferne can command up to £8.8K a post according to Influencer Marketing Hub.
This puts her top of the Fabulous Towie mumfluencer rich list.
Yet this fame doesn’t come without its pitfalls.
She told ho she frequently faces trolling on her social media accounts and told the Saving Grace podcast: “I get trolled for whatever – especially when it comes to the children.”
“I don’t know if it’s mums and dads, but on my socials, it’s normally mums, and they come out in force.”
Previously, we reported how Ferne was branded “cruel” for her strict Christmas Day rule for her kids.
