Ferne McCann has been in a "constant" state of stress for the last six months.

The 'Only Way Is Essex' star - who recently welcomed her daughter Sunday a couple of weeks ago - has reportedly been really stressed with her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins' court case but is determined to focus on her child now.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "The last six months have been so tough on Ferne. There have been times when we've all been so worried about her because of the constant stress she's under. Obviously she knows people are - rightly - focusing on Arthur's victims and she's not looking for or wanting sympathy. But she feels she's damned if she talks about what happened because people think she's trying to make money from it, and she's damned if she doesn't because people think she's ignoring it.
"In fact, nothing could be further from the truth, because everything has also affected her. She's putting on a brave face for everyone else, that's why we're worried about her. We all know she's been put in an impossible situation, totally out of her control and is left picking up the pieces. And we think it would help her to open up and talk about how's she's feeling. She's not talking to anyone about this and that's the concern. She's also finding it hard to trust people because there's been so much rubbish said about her online. It's been blow after blow."
Arthur Collins, 25, was convicted of five counts of grievous bodily harm with intent and nine counts of actual bodily harm at Wood Green Crown Court after 14 people were badly burnt when he sprayed the corrosive substance at a crowd on the dance floor in the nightclub Mangle E8 in Dalston on April 17.
