You may know Ferne from 'The Only Way Is Essex', but these days, the reality TV star has a new and more important role to play: Mum.
The influencer welcomed her second daughter, Finty, earlier this year, and made her eldest daughter, Sunday, 6, a big sister.
Despite she and her fiance, Lorri, having their hands full, Ferne has never been more excited for Christmas with her family.
The lead-up to the festive season is without a doubt the busiest time of year in work for us all, and it's no different for the 'My Family & Me' star.
Over a video call, the mum-of-two explains that working while caring for a newborn has actually resulted in her spending more time with little Finty.
"Well, Finty's actually with me today. I think when they're babies, they're just so portable. I'm fortunate enough that I've been able to bring Sunday, when she was a baby, along with me to work commitments. And now Finty, it's like history repeating itself," she tells HerFamily.
"This morning was a very early start and we've been live with Jeremy Vine and then we've been doing back-to-back interviews all day and she's just been here with us.
"And I absolutely love that because, like I said, I feel fortunate that I am able to work so soon after giving birth. She's five months so she's still absolutely tiny."
With Christmas on the horizon, what do the holidays look like for Ferne's family? Well, like many others, it's all about togetherness and spending as much time as possible with loved ones.
She and her fiance will be blending their families this year, as Lorri has a son from a previous relationship.
With that, it's an extra special one in the reality star's household as it's baby Finty's first Christmas too, and their furry family member's first in the house.
"We're very much looking forward to it; first Christmas with Finty, first Christmas with our little cockapoo puppy Clemmie, and it's gonna be a busy one for sure because obviously we're in a blended family.
"My partner's got a little boy and I've got Sunday and now we've got Finty. So, it's blending our families and mixing out our traditions and things like that, but we're looking forward to it."
As Ferne's eldest child, Sunday, has grown, she now sees her daughter experiencing Christmas in a whole new way.
This is something that the mum says is 'magical' and says she relives her childhood through her kids.
“I think a Christmas you really live all your favourite childhood memories through and with your children.
“Like today (December 1st), it’s actually snowing in Essex, which is just so magical. Sunday was just so excited. And the disbelief on her face that the elf was there, and, yes, the last few years she’s been aware of the whole concept, but this year she can just articulate herself so well.”
For the media personality, togetherness is all about ‘just being with your family or extended family members’ and that is exactly how her family intends to spend Finty's first Christmas.
This Christmas, that’s exactly how she and Lorri intend to spend the day, as they prepare to take their two children to Ferne’s family and her brother-in-law’s family.
“They’ve invited us around for all the Christmas games, minced pies, and mulled wine in the evening. I’m so looking forward to that, and, a little pretty bonus, they live down the road from Lorri and I so we can have all the mulled wine that we want and then walk home!”
Wishing Ferne and her family the merriest of Christmas'!
