A mystery feud on Dancing On Ice was ignited on Sunday night as Ferne McCann's fiance Lorri Haines and her mum Gilly seemed cold towards each other while seated in the audience. The duo were positioned with Ferne's daughter Sunday sandwiched between them during Sunday's inaugural live show, but reportedly, they hardly exchanged words.
Ferne made her skating debut on Sunday, becoming emotional when she spotted her eldest daughter in the crowd alongside her mum and fiance. She performed a routine with her professional partner Brendyn Hatfield to Lily Allen's track, Somewhere Only We Know.
However, it has been reported that behind the scenes, things were frosty between her beloved mum and her other half. An eye witness from the audience claimed that Lorri and Gilly appeared to be incredibly distant, signalling trouble. "They didn't seem very close at all. They both spoke to Sunday but barely exchanged a work to each other,” the source claimed. "It was very bizarre, and it was clear there was some tension in the air." They added to The Sun that it was "no secret" that the couple had had their struggles recently, so it was unsurprising things appeared strained.
Ferne managed to complete her performance without any mishaps, earning commendation from the judges and a decent score of 26.5. She and Lorri are part of a blended family of five, each having a child from previous relationships, and together they share a baby girl, Finty, who is 17 months old.
