New mum-of-two Ferne McCann says her home birth "didn't go to plan".
The 32-year-old recently gave birth to her second daughter and has opened up about the home birth that she planned.
The former TOWIE star wanted to have a water birth at home and while she did, it wasn't what she first expected.
Ferne recorded the birth for her ITVBe reality show First Time Mum so fans will get an insight into her experience once it airs.
Meanwhile, Ferne's fiancé Lorri Haines, 32, who was at the birth, said that Ferne is "a warrior" and that "she made the birth look easy".

"I filmed it all for the show, which I’m so excited about. I just can’t wait to share that. But she’s perfect and she’s here."
The new baby's name has been revealed as Finty Francis Haines-McCann, which holds a lot of meaning for the couple.
Ferne said that the name Finty has been on her baby name list since she was pregnant with her five-year-old daughter Sunday.
She explained that she doesn't know where she got the name from but when she searched for it online she found that it is Judi Dench’s daughter’s nickname.
Ferne said: "I just feel so connected to the name – she came out and she was just Finty. I think she sounds like a character out of Bridgerton."
Meanwhile, her middle name Francis is a nod to Ferne's grandad's name.
Ferne is also a mum to Sunday, who she shares with jailed ex Arthur Collins. Ferne was pregnant when she split from Arthur after he was arrested for throwing acid into a crowd in an East London nightclub in 2017.
Since then, she has since raised Sunday by herself, however, in the last year, she met and fell in love with Lorri.
Lorri and Ferne are currently planning their wedding after getting engaged last year.
