The 32-year-old met her businessman partner Haines two years ago and got engaged back in July 2022. She gushed about her future hubby on Instagram after announcing the engagement and said she 'manifested' him into her life.
"He was everything I also wanted but more importantly he was what I needed! It's like I've always known him," she gushed.
Rumours swirled earlier this year hinting that Ferne and Lorri have a bun in the oven, but it wasn't until today she decided to let fans in on her upcoming arrival.
In a new interview with OK! Magazine, Ferne said she's hoping to have girl and wants to have a water birth at home.

The TV personality is also planning to give her new bundle of joy an unusual name.
Ferne said that she and Lorri have decided to wait to find out the baby's gender and that they 'don't believe' in due dates, but she hinted that she's due to give birth in the summer.
"I would love a girl, just because I've got my girl's name and I feel like a girl mum because I've got Sunday. I can only see myself with girls," she gushed.

She added: "I would love to have a home birth and I've been told many times that I'm the perfect candidate.
"I had a smooth and lovely birth with Sunday and I did the majority of my labour at my mum's house. It was just the delivery that I did at the hospital. I would love to have the pool, but Lorri's worried about the mess."
Fans should expect the unexpected when it comes to the baby's name, as Fern teased: "We can't have your average top 10 in the UK names. I love unusual, but not weird.

"I'm firing some names at Lorri and he's like, 'No, no.'
"Sunday comes up with some really good names actually."
Ferne was previously in a relationship with Arthur Collins with whom she shares five-year-old Sunday Skye McCann.
Collins is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty of carrying out an acid attack in 2017.
