Sam and Billie were not active on social media as Ferne's reality show First Time Mum returned to ITV2 on Wednesday night, featuring scenes where she told TOWIE star James Argent the reason why she made cruel comments in the leaked WhatsApp messages, as writes the Mirror.

After a clip was shown to This Morning viewers of what was to come in last night's episode, Ferne could be seen crying as she spoke to Arg after the voice notes were leaked.
Speaking about that time in her life, Ferne said: "It definitely wasn't my finest hour and it definitely was a very difficult time in my life, but I do, I need to take this opportunity to publicly apologise again to those affected, obviously, the words I used were unpleasant and I have reached out privately to those people and it's very difficult."
Ferne, who is currently pregnant with her second child, got emotional after watching the clip and Phil handed her a tissue to dry her tears.
