Ferne McCann became extremely tearful as she discussed her young daughter Sunday in the latest episode of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The reality star, 32, gave birth to Sunday in 2017, and shares her with Arthur Collins, who is currently in jail after injuring people in an acid attack.
She’s been documenting the ups and downs of life as a single mother since the beginning with her reality show First Time Mum, but being away from home proved a challenge for Ferne while filming for the brutal survival show.
Ferne joins the likes of Love Island winner Amber Gill, former EastEnders star Maisie Smith, football star Ashley Cain and dancer AJ Pritchard, who are being put through their paces by chief instructor Rudy Reyes, who joined the SAS team earlier this year, and his team of direction staff, Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox, Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham and Remi Adeleke.
During her chat with the instructors, the former Towie star shared that ‘tomorrow’ would be Sunday’s fourth birthday, which she would have to miss while being in the desert.
‘I’m most known for reality TV, mainly at the moment I’ve got my own show which is about me and my daughter. I’m a single mum’, she began, when asked to describe what she does.

‘I spend my life with my daughter, it’s just me and her. She’s four tomorrow’.
Ferne became visibly upset, prompting the instructors to tell her: ‘Don’t let that get mixed into your emotions that you’ve got on your face right now.
‘Get rid of that, alright? Get the best out of this for you. I know it’s your daughter’s birthday but you’ve just gotta forget that. You can sort that when you leave here’.
They encouraged her to ‘take every minute and every day for you’ so she can ‘get through everything we put you through’.

Ferne proceeded to bare her soul to cameras, sharing: ‘My life up until this point, apart from giving birth to my child, I don’t think I’ve accomplished anything’.
‘I don’t wanna be judged on my work, what I do in my personal life, how I am as a mother. I want to be tested an individual, separated from everything else.’
She added fiercely: ‘All the odds are against me and I’ve got nothing to lose. I am giving it my every last shot’.

Mum-of-one Ferne previously admitted that she drew on her experience giving birth to get through the gruelling challenges on the Channel 4 show.
The 32-year-old said she wanted to ‘prove’ herself but ‘nothing’ prepared her for how tough it was going to be.
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues on Sunday at 9pm on Channel 4.
