The 29-year-old reality star says her love life is on the up, and she has embarked on a relationship with a mystery man who she says is not in the spotlight.

Ferne told The Sun Online: "So my love life is definitely looking promising.

"Obviously you saw on 'First Time Mum' I was talking to five different guys and you'll see throughout the series how that pans out.

"But there is one guy that I've known for ages and I really like him."

Ferne - who revealed on her reality show she wants to find love again - had recently been on a few dates with a Spanish guy she met on celebrity dating app Raya, but has moved on and is now seeing a mystery man from the UK.

She quipped: "You never know if it all works out with this guy I might not need [the app] any more."

However, the former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is keen to keep her new love interest a mystery, because she doesn't want to put "too much pressure" on her new romance.

She added: "I always feel when I meet someone and speak about it publicly, I'll do an interview a few months down the line saying, 'Yeah it didn't work out.'

"So I don't want to put too much pressure on it, but there is definitely someone who has caught my eye."

But it hasn't stopped the 2015 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' runner-up from thinking about the future as she is keen to have siblings for her two-year-old daughter Sunday, who she raises alone since her ex-boyfriend and Sunday's father, Arthur Collins, was jailed in 2017 for a nightclub acid attack.

She previously said: "I want to grow up and have a family, and I want to get married as well."
