She frequently flaunts her glossy locks at high-profile industry events, which she usually maintains with bleach, blow-drys and clip-ins.

But Ferne McCann opted for the au naturel look as she ditched her hair extensions for the first time in seven years on Saturday.

In a radiant post shared to Instagram, the First Time Mum star, 29, was the picture of confidence as she unveiled her shoulder-length ‘do and credited the current coronavirus lockdown period for ‘saving my bleached and broken hair’.

The media personality captioned the images: ‘Me with no stennies x 4. Never did I think I would ever be extension free after 7 years…. 

‘#lockdown has saved my hair. And to all my girls who have suffered with broken, bleached, hair you will feel me.’

The former TOWIE star also thanked celebrity hairstylist, Sarrah Hamid, who has banned her from using bleaching products and revitalised her mane with treatments.

A pleased Ferne wrote on her Stories: ‘I salute you @hairbysarrah you little hair angel. This girl has dropped treatments to my front door during lockdown.’

In the romance department, Ferne recently revealed she had split from Albie Gibbs following a short-lived romance. 

The blonde beauty confirmed she was single again on her hit ITVBe reality series First Time Mum as she tried to make their long-distance relationship work. 

Albie has since moved to New York for the year while Ferne lives in Essex with daughter Sunday, two.

After the split, the reality star penned a lengthy caption insisting she’d learned to embrace her figure and felt the fittest she’s ever been.

She wrote: ‘There is only 1 YOU & that is your power. I’ve realised recently that as I’m approaching 30 I feel so much better than I did at 20. So much of the last decade was worrying about how I looked, but mainly how other people thought I looked. It was a lot about surface. 

‘Recent years I have learnt to nurture my body to be at my healthiest & happiest. It’s important to feel comfortable in your own skin. Believe me this hasn’t always been easy & is an ongoing battle.’

‘I’ve learnt to drop the quest for (the non existent) perfection & acceptance of others ”What Instagram would find attractive.” Or – ”What guy I was messaging would find sexy.”

‘The more I’ve taken care of myself & the healthier I’ve become the more confident I’ve grown & found self love. Most of all, I’ve learnt to love my body. 

‘I spent so many years wishing I was more this or that. I guess lockdown has strengthened this. But now I fully appreciate my body & health it’s so much more than being a dress size! I feel the fittest I’ve ever been. 

‘I have energy, I feel strong and healthy. I’m choosing to stop picking holes in my appearance and celebrate my vitality & my health. Im grateful for every lump, bump, nipple and hair.’
