The 26-year-old former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star has reportedly signed a big money deal to appear on the E4 dating show alongside Stephen Bear as the two singletons look for love. Producers were keen to get the two stars on the show after they both "proved a huge hit" on other shows.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "They are huge characters with massive personalities and know how to play the game.
"Producers were desperate to sign them up as they've already proved a huge hit with fans on previous shows.
"Ferne has kept her romances under wraps since she left 'TOWIE' so TV execs are hoping for her to open up on camera."
However, any potential suitors for Ferne might be hard pressed, as recent 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' contestant Joel Dommett confessed to having a crush on the star.
He said: "I think she is wonderful.
"It's Ferne McCann not Ferne McCann't."
And Ferne reciprocates the feelings.
She said: "I watched it. I quite fancy Joel."
The news of Ferne's new television venture comes after she admitted earlier this year that she wants to find love since going under the knife to have surgery on her nose.
She said: "I can go up to a bar and have a man on the left-hand side and feel more confident. I'm really looking forward to finding love ... I always felt really awkward about [my nose] and wouldn't like anyone sitting there [next to me] or laying next to someone.
"If I was seeing a new guy, I'd always think, 'Does he think I've got a weird nose?', 'Does he think, She's a 10/10 but she's got a big nose?'
"I used to worry they'd say to their mates, 'She's hot but...' I've not done it to fit a certain image or lifestyle or to conform."
