Everything changed when my daughter asked: 'Mummy, am I famous?"

Ferne, 34 who found fame on Towie in 2013 allowed the cameras full access to her life for her series First Time Mum.

The show followed her during her pregnancy with daughter Sunday, now six, and her experiences of dealing with motherhood.

Since then she has found love with fiancé Lorri Haines-leading to the show rebranding as My Family and Me after she found out she was pregnant again. The couple welcomed daughter Finty in July last year.

But while Ferne has no regrets describing it as "the best home video ever" she says Sunday's question led her to decide the current season, which began this month, will be the last.

Ferne said: "The show's been going for so long that we joked we'd still be filming when Sunday had children and be calling it Second Time Nan.

"But I knew the time would come to have a break or stop altogether, and for the last year I've been thinking about it.

"The point where everything changed was when Sunday actually said to me, Am I famous?' A few of her friends had seen her on an advert.

"And I was like, 'Oh I don't know...

It made me feel uncomfortable - I don't want her to feel she is different.

"Sunday has done the show since she was born, so she's always been aware of the cameras.
