Ferne McCann has been accused of mocking one of Arthur Collins’ acid attack victims after an expletive-ridden voicenote was leaked by an anonymous Instagram account.
The Towie star, 32, was in a relationship and shares a daughter with Collins, who is serving 20 years in prison for throwing acid in a night club and injuring multiple people in 2017.
Collins got into a row with a group of men on the dance floor of Mangle E8 in Dalston, London, when he sprayed acid three times at men he had been arguing with, which splashed onto bystanders and burnt 14 people.
He was convicted of five counts of causing GBH with intent, nine counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and sentenced to 20 years behind bars.
Now an anonymous Instagram account going by the handle @ladywhistledown195 has shared a voice note claiming it is McCann talking about one of his victims.
In it, a woman’s voice can be heard saying one of the victims is entering a beauty pageant with a dress created from newspaper headlines about the attack.

She says: ‘I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, this silly b**** has made a dress, a papier maché dress, out of the newspaper cuttings from the event.
‘She’ll probably win it, I’m not gonna lie. Only because the event and awards she’s entered or beauty competition whatever it is, are probably loving all this free press. So they’ll probably fix it, she’ll win it.
It goes on: ‘She is one ugly f*****g c***.’
The anonymous account says it is planning to release more voicenotes on Thursday, with the audio in question released on Wednesday night.
One of Collins’ victims, Sophie Hall, was 22 when she was injured in the attack, and spoke on Good Morning Britain the following year saying she was regaining here confidence after competing in a pageant.

She said at the time: ‘I wanted to be remembered as something different.
‘I wanted to have a positive impact and perhaps inspire people, and not only build my confidence but help other victims out there – who may be going through a tough time – that you can still go on and achieve fantastic things.
‘There’s so much to overcome. There are lots of rounds in this competition you have to take part in, and it has helped me rebuild different parts of my life, so it has helped me massively.’
