The 25-year-old is currently serving a 20-year sentence.

Ferne McCann has reportedly been ordered to take her child to visit her former partner, Arthur Collins, in prison.

Collins, who has just started a 20-year sentence for throwing acid at a crowd in a nightclub, is said to have asserted his legal right to see his daughter, Sunday, according to The Mirror.

Ferne had previously stated that she would never again allow the 25-year-old to see Sunday after she brought her daughter to see him just two weeks after she was born.

However, it is said that Collins took legal action which then required Ferne to bring their five-month-old on the more than 200 mile trip to the prison in York when he is being held.

“Ferne sought legal and professional advice, and it was a difficult decision she had to make,” a source told The Mirror.

“It has been a bitter pill for her to swallow. But she knows this is what her life will be like now, whether she likes it or not.”

Arthur Collins was jailed after he threw acid in the Mangle club in Dalston, London last year, hitting 22 people in the crowd.

The attack left 16 people suffering from serious burns.
