“It hasn’t been the easiest first year of a relationship!” Ferne McCann praised her fiancée Lorri Haines when she shared a photo on Instagram on her anniversary Sunday.
They posted photos of themselves enjoying a country walk, as well as a cycle and full roast, before posing for a beaming mirror selfie in matching robes.
Ferne wrote in her caption: ‘Celebrating our one year anniversary. I have learned a lot about love since I have been in this relationship. Perhaps before I had a distorted idea of what love really was.
‘Love is not all happiness. Romantic dates, lust, laughter, snuggling, cozy dinners and endless joy. No, love means warts and showing up no matter what.
‘The good the bad the ugly. So thank you @lozzahaines for showing you through the good times and the really really awesome times! It hasn’t been the easiest first year of a relationship, but it hasn’t been a total write-off either.
