Ferne McCann admits she drinks her own breast milk and has even considered ‘making it into ice cream’ as she feeds daughter Finty live on air

Ferne McCann has admitted she drinks her own breast milk and has even considered ‘making ice cream out of it’.

The former TOWIE star, who is already mum to a daughter on Sunday, welcomed a baby girl with her businessman fiance Lorri Haines, 31, on July 6.

And after testing her new supply of milk, Ferne also revealed that she has been trying to get her fiancé to try her breast milk in his morning coffee.

Appearing on Steph’s Packed Lunch on Wednesday, she said: ‘I’ve come up with all kinds of ideas. And I thought, “Can you make ice cream from breast milk?”

‘And then it got me thinking: I actually want to see how well it foams, because Lorri loves his macchiato and he’s very picky, so imagine if it foams so I can slip a little bit into his morning coffee .’

When asked if she had tried it herself, Ferne replied: ‘Yes, of course, because I’m just curious and it’s like liquid gold.

‘But I wanted to try it, just because I was curious. It’s quite sweet. Lorri said, “Absolutely not, I will never try.” And I thought: why? It nourishes our baby, she absolutely loves it.”

Ferne also revealed how she uses her breast milk as a miracle cure: ‘If Finty had a bit of a weepy eye when she was born, the midwives in the community would say: they put a little bit of breast milk.

“So I just walk around, let’s say, if Lorri had a blister, I would suggest squeezing the blister just a little bit and it would heal in a few moments.”

Later in the day, Ferne beamed as she stepped out with her daughter Finty in Leeds after the appearance.

The former TOWIE star cut a chic figure in a blue denim jumpsuit.

The stylish number featured flared bottoms and a belt along the stomach, cinching her around the waist.

The beauty lifted her enviable figure with a pair of white heeled boots and accessorized with a chic pearl necklace.

Ferne was every bit the doting mother as she cradled her daughter and carried her down the street.

It comes after baby Finty had an unfortunate ‘poo explosion’ on Holly Willoughby during an appearance on This Morning.

Ferne appeared on the ITV show last month, with Craig Doyle joking that there had been a ‘major incident’ on set prior to her interview.

Holly explained: ‘I needed a cuddle, I jumped straight in so Finty and I had a little cuddle but she sat down and had a release.

“But I always think it’s better outside than inside, we all felt relieved.”

Ferne started laughing before saying, “Poop explosion! She has a bit of stage fright, bless her.”

Holly added: “We bonded at that point, didn’t we.”

Ferne said: ‘I was just panicking about your dress,’ but Holly confirmed her floral outfit had escaped the mess.

Elsewhere during the interview, Ferne spoke about motherhood and her home birth.

She said: ‘It was a nice experience with Lorri because with Sunday I was obviously a single parent.

‘He’s a hands-on father. I still do the night feedings because I don’t see the point of having two tired parents. He’s brilliant.’

Speaking about the new series First Time Mum, Ferne said: ‘This feels to me like it’s very, very real. They were with us for everything. I was hormonal and we had just started a new business. There are a few bickering people among them.

“I’m so excited about the birth (to air) because I haven’t gotten to talk about it yet.

“I didn’t push, I just breathed her out. I haven’t done any work. I was the vessel and Finty gave birth to herself. I had my home birth, things took a turn and I literally breathed her out. I surrendered.

‘If the birth went like this again, I would have another one tomorrow.’

Ferne and Lori announced their engagement last July after a whirlwind seven-month romance, with Ferne captioning a photo of herself and Lorri embracing at the time with: “So happily ever after. I can’t wait to do it forever with you, baby.”

She told This Morning viewers: ‘We might park the wedding. We don’t plan to. If all the bickering we had gets us this far, we’ll probably be in our seventies.’

In an interview with OK! magazine, Ferne shared that the couple has chosen to name their little one Finty Francis Haines-McCann.

Ferne said she chose Francis as her daughter’s middle name, using the traditional masculine spelling, to honor a very special family member.

Explaining the sweet reason for her middle name, Ferne said: ‘Francis is my grandfather’s name – it’s a nod to Grandpa Frank.’

The traditional name is of Latin origin and means ‘Frenchman’ or ‘free man’.

She then revealed the inspiration behind Finty’s unique name, saying: ‘I don’t know where I got that from, but when I typed it in (on Google) I saw that Judi Dench’s daughter’s nickname is Finty.

“I’ve always loved it and never heard it anywhere else. I just feel so connected to the name – she came out and she was just Finty. I think she sounds like a character from Bridgerton.”

And Ferne confessed she loved the names so much she was really hoping to give birth to another girl, joking that she sees herself as the ‘the Essex Kris Jenner’ with an ‘army of girls’.

She added that she can see herself having “two more” children, and said she would “have another child tomorrow” if she could, although she “couldn’t see myself” with a baby boy.
