The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star has found herself in an embarrassing situation when police put out an appeal for her beau Arthur Collins after they raided his home following the shocking acid attack at the nightclub Mangle in Dalston, east London, over the weekend.
And, in a bid to detach herself from the situation, the 26-year-old reality TV star has now deleted the photograph of her and Arthur posted online from their holiday two weeks ago.
Upon hearing the news that officers wanted to speak to Arthur about the horrific attack, which saw footballer Jamie O'Hara's cousin injured and an Australia model suffer chemical burns to her arms, Ferne begged her possibly now-ex beau to "co-operate" with investigators.
She said in a statement: "Ferne is aware that the police wish to speak to Arthur Collins and the nature of the accusations against him. Obviously these are highly shocking and Ferne has co-operated with the police in their inquiries. She was not with Arthur on Sunday night; was not at Mangle; and has no direct knowledge of the events that unfolded.
"As much as anybody she wants to know the truth and urges Arthur to co-operate fully with the police and attend a police station immediately."
The drama unfolded shortly after Ferne - who met Arthur on Instagram last summer - admitted she and her partner have already discussed the possibility of getting married.
The 'This Morning' presenter said: "We've spoken about our wedding. We want to get married on a beach. I want it to be a party and a celebration.
"I want these long extensions, mermaid-style hair covering my breasts, with flowers in my hair and no shoes. He can wear shorts and a shirt undone, then we want an amazing DJ with bongos and a saxophonist."
