FERNE McCann breaks down in tears after splitting with her ex Jack Padgett in a heartbreaking moment in First Time Mum.
A teaser clip for the next episode shows a distraught Ferne struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship.
With tears in her eyes, she tells the camera: “Me and Jack split up. I still feel like I’m in a state of shock.”
The mum-of-one wafts incense around her home as she looks ahead to new beginnings but she goes against her pal’s advice and ends up texting Jack.
It leads to more tears as he reads the message but doesn’t text her back.
Her Towie star pal James Argent tries to reassure her, saying: “I’ve known you since you were 17 and you’ve never found it hard to pull. You are an absolute sort.”
Back in June The Sun revealed Ferne and Jack had broken up because they were at “different stages in life”.
A source exclusively told us: “Ferne said it was a case of ‘right guy wrong time’.
“It was clear to all of us that they were both on different paths.
“Jack’s life revolves around hosting events and nightlife because that’s his job.
“Whereas Ferne is all about family, work and security.
“Her working days are so full on that their diaries literally clashed.”
Ferne’s romance with Jack was revealed in December when the pair were spotted kissing while on holiday in South Africa.
The First Time Mum star revealed in February that her new beau had moved in with her and three-year-old daughter Sunday for lockdown – saying he was “The One”.
But the TV personality now believes the two are not compatible as partners as she needs more from the relationship.
The source added: “She’s sad but she’s realistic about the situation, that nightlife lifestyle just isn’t her and hasn’t been for years.
“As much as Ferne likes Jack, she’s at a different stage in her life.
“She wants to be with someone who’s on the same wavelength and wants the same things out of life.
“She has no regrets. They both got on great and had a lot of fun, but you need more than that in a relationship.”
The former Towie star, who juggles being a single mum with running a fitness business, previously dated New York-based boyfriend Albie Gibbs – but the pair went their separate ways in May 2020.
Before that her ex Arthur Collins was jailed over a nightclub acid attack in 2017, and Ferne was left devastated for his victims.
