Ferne McCann is counting down to Christmas - especially as this year will be her second daughter Finty's first one - but the star has one strict rule she abides by every year. The former TOWIE icon, 33, has opened up about one of her unique Christmas traditions – including the strict rule she has for when the children can open their presents.

The children, including her six-year-old daughter Sunday, can only open their gifts once they've all had breakfast together.
Ferne has teamed up with One4all Gift Cards to chat about traditions old and new. She revealed: "The funny thing about Christmas is you don’t realise how unique everyone’s celebrations are until you become a blended family and you find yourselves having to decide which childhood traditions you want to carry on keeping the magic alive. "We’ve got this one rule we always stick to – no opening presents until after breakfast.

Online trolls have previously blasted parents who make the same decision as Ferne, and argue that it's "not fair". One thread on Reddit sees users around the world debate the 'right time' to open presents.
One user shared: "Late morning for me but first thing for my kids. Anyone making children wait until the afternoon is just cruel." Another agreed, writing: "Always the morning. Always!
