Ferne McCann cosies up to Dancing On Ice partner Brendyn Hatfield during another gruelling training session - following 'split' from fiancé Lorri Haines

Ferne McCann cosied up to Dancing On Ice partner Brendyn Hatfield as they rehearsed a routine during another gruelling training session on Monday.

The reality star, 34, and fiancé Lorri Haines' relationship has been engulfed in mystery, before Ferne insisted they're 'still very much together' but confessed they have been arguing.

During the session Brendyn, who is dating the S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens after they struck up a romance on the ITV show, lifted the ex TOWIE star off the ground as they practised lifts. 

Ferne, who was wearing her engagement ring, showcased her toned legs in a pair of skintight blue leggings which she wore with an oversized burgundy jumper with the words ARCHIE. 

She later slipped on a cream padded cropped gillet as she left the rink and headed home with her kit bag and water bottle.

Last week it was claimed the couple had 'one big blow out over something and nothing so Ferne decided to take some time out.' 

The couple - who got engaged in 2022 - share daughter Finty, 16 months.  

Yet Ferne and Lorri refuted the rumours on Instagram Stories, with Ferne insisting they're 'still very much together' but confessed they have been arguing. 

Speaking from Dancing On Ice rehearsals, Ferne revealed: 'We haven't [split]. I am just as miffed. We're still very much together, living together. We're even back in the same bed. 

'What we are is very tired. The only reason why we'd be arguing is because bless Finty, she's been waking up at 4am and I'm one tired mama. So if anyone has any tips on that, it would be very much appreciated. 

Ferne - who has not been seen wearing her engagement ring for weeks - concluded: 'But no, to anyone who has messaged to see if we're ok and if we have. I really appreciate your messages but we are, we're still very much together.'

Meanwhile Lorri said in his video: 'It's news to me and to us. I just called her and said "have we broke up?" she was like "what you talking about?" 

'So, not sure where the story's come from but I'm here to tell you, we are absolutely fine.'

He also insisted the pair have been sharing a bed for about six months. 

Lorri concluded: 'Life is very good for us both, we're in a committed relationship.' 

Earlier in the day it was claimed Fearne had split from Lorri just 16 months after welcoming their baby daughter. 

As well as Finty, the former TOWIE star and her businessman partner, 33, share daughter Sunday, six, from Ferne's previous relationship. 

Speaking to The Mirror, a source said: 'Ferne and Lorri have always had a tempestuous relationship but there was one big blow out over something and nothing so she has decided to take some time out.

'Pals are saying it is permanent but who knows as these two are so up and down. Lorri has been effectively wiped from her Instagram and Ferne is now taking some time for herself and her two kids.'

The last picture of Lori on Ferne's Instagram was in October, while Lori last posted Ferne in September. 

Ferne announced her engagement to Lorri in July 2022, just seven months after going public with the property developer. 

It followed a split from DJ Jake Padgett the year prior after they spent the second lockdown together. 

Before that she was in a relationship with jailed acid attacker Arthur Collins, whom she shares her daughter Sunday, four, with. 

Arthur is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence at Woodhill Prison, Milton Keynes, after carrying out an acid attack at a London nightclub in 2017 which saw sixteen people suffer chemical burn injuries and three people left temporarily blinded. 

Ferne previously revealed she wanted to find her happily ever after but falls for men too easily. 

She shared: 'I am such a sucker for love - I love love so much, and of course I want to find my happy ever after.'

In September, Ferne confessed that she and Lorri slept in separate bedrooms - after admitting they previously sought help from an intimacy coach.

Ferne has praised Lorri in the past for being a hands-on father, sharing that he even relishes the times he has the children to himself.

But, when Finty was born, Lorri reacted badly to the lack of sleep, leading Ferne to make the decision for them to have separate rooms.

She told Heat magazine: 'At first, it was more just to have our own space to get some really good quality sleep.

'When Finty was a newborn, she wasn't the best sleeper. Lorri is not very good when he doesn't get much sleep, so I was like: "You're grouchy and this isn't pleasant, so let's have separate bedrooms."

'But, it's all the rage now, babes! It just works for us. Now, we get excited on holidays and special occasions when we do share a bed.'
