FERNE McCann has been seen for the first time since being accused of ‘fatshaming’ Sam Faiers in a disgraceful leaked voice note.
The recording, which is thought to feature Ferne’s voice, has sent shockwaves through Essex and reignited the feud between the former pals.
The voice on the recording is heard saying: “Sam Faiers is fat c***. Her thighs are so big and I looked really skinny today.”
The voice in the message is not confirmed to be Ferne.
Ferne’s representative has been contacted for comment, while Sam’s representative had no comment.
Earlier today Sam’s devastated mum Suzie took to social media to address the audio, telling fans she could "no longer sit back and say nothing".

Taking to social media, the 53-year-old said: "This has come as a complete shock to myself and my family.
"Ferne has always been a very close family member to all of us over the past 20 years.
"It appears the voice note was sent just weeks after Samantha gave birth back in May."
Suzie went on: "Since the voice note has surfaced more have been sent – very upsetting nasty things.
"We are as shocked as you are! Nobody should ever speak about their friends like this ever!
"My girls are my absolute everything and I'll do anything to protect them.”
Yesterday, The Sun exclusively revealed that Ferne is embroiled in a bitter feud with her former friend.
“Naturally Sam is incredibly hurt and upset by these comments especially from someone she considered to be a good friend,” a source close to Sam tells The Sun.
