Ferne McCann doesn’t blame TOWIE for split with Charlie Sims

OHMYGOSSIP — Ferne McCann doesn’t believe ‘The Only Way is Essex’ is to blame for her split with Charlie Sims because they would have broken up anyway, regardless.

Ferne McCann doesn’t think ‘The Only Way is Essex’ has ruined her relationship with Charlie Sims.

The reality star broke up with her boyfriend last year on the show after he was photographed smooching another woman last summer, but the brunette beauty doesn’t believe the programme was to blame for their split.

She told NEW! magazine: “‘TOWIE’ hasn’t ruined mine and Charlie’s relationship or our lives. If anything it’s benefited it and it’s accelerated our break up. We would have broken up ‘TOWIE’ or no ‘TOWIE’.”

Ferne also hasn’t ruled out getting back with Charlie, who she has dated on/off for three years, because she’ll always love him.

She said: “I love him and always will – he’s my first love.”

However, the 21-year-old hunk may not feel the same after he found out that Ferne had cheated on him back in December with Frank Major.

He said previously: Every excuse she has given is bulls**t. She says in every interview that she wasn’t happy and couldn’t trust me because of the cheating. She cheated on me and then dumped me the next day, a week before Christmas. That girl has no f***ing heart. I had Christmas presents under the tree for her – I’m pretty sure she didn’t have them for me.”
