Would you watch it?

She made her name as a reality star and now it looks like her first child could do the same.

Fern McCann from The Only Way Is Essex is said to be in talks to have her pregnancy and transition to motherhood, as well as her labour, documented in her own reality show on ITVBe, the same channel that broadcasts TOWIE.

“Ferne has got an all-female team on standby ready for the baby to make an appearance, made up of friends and birthing partners, midwives and an all-lady TV crew at the ready,” a source told the Sun.

She’s believed to be due next month. The father of her child, Arthur Collins, is currently standing trial for an acid attack at a London nightclub.

“There are discussions, but it might not happen,” the source continued.

“If it happens, it’ll be a warts and all show – nothing will be missed.

“But if she does change her mind, the cameras will stop running full stop.”

Ferne and Arthur split earlier this year after news of the acid attack accusation broke.

Prior to their breakup, they had been planning to live together.

“We spend every night together anyway,” Fearne told OK! earlier this year.

“Moving in is definitely the next step. And I know that seems a bit rushed, but when you know, you know.

“Arthur is moving in the day after I get the keys! I get them on May 5, he’ll move in on May 6 so I just need 24 hours to settle in and put my stuff down.”

Arthur and his co-accused, Andre Phoenix are accused of throwing acid in the Mangle E8 nightclub in Dalston, east London on Easter Monday night this year, 17 April.

They face a number of charges including Grievous Bodily Harm and Actual Bodily Harm

They deny all counts.
