    Ferne McCann has revealed she wants to “settle down” and have more children

    The 30-year-old star – who has three-year-old Sunday with ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins – split from Albie Gibbs last May but has recently been spotted kissing Jack Padgett while on holiday in South Africa


    And though Ferne didn’t mention her new man by name, she admitted she is a “true romantic” who dreams of getting married.

    Speaking to Closer magazine, she gushed: “I’m a sucker for love – I love it. And I’m a true romantic, I can’t wait to settle down.

    “I’m definitely up for having more babies and running off into the sunset with my new husband.”

    The former ‘TOWIE’ star has “grown so much” and no longer puts as much pressure on her relationships as she used to.

    She said: “I used to start dating someone and get the doom that he was going to leave me or not fancy me.

    “Sometimes you just need to take a step back, surrender, do a little bit of self work and be like, ‘You know what, if that happens, then it happens.’

    “Just looking after yourself and not making it a priority – being a bit more easy-breezy about it.”

    Ferne thinks everyone should take a good break from relationships before settling down in order to figure out what they are looking for.

    She added: “I believe it should be mandatory for everyone to be single for at least a year in their life.

    “How can you be with someone or know what you want when you don’t know yourself? You have to love yourself before anyone else can.

    "You need to learn your behaviour patterns, what makes you tick and what makes you laugh – and by getting to know your true unapologetic self, that person can fall in love and support you.”
