Ferne McCann: I have a burning desire to act

Ferne McCann has a "burning desire" to star in an West End musical.
The 29-year-old reality star – who has two-year-old daughter Sunday – met up with two theatrical agents while filming her reality show ‘Ferne McCann: First Time Mum’ in hopes of pursuing her dreams of acting.
In a clip from her ITVBe show, she said: "When I was younger I had this burning desire to be on stage. I always wanted to perform but I got too caught up in school and social life that I didn’t nurture what I wanted to do.
"I’ve never done a proper audition, but I’ve not had proper training. I feel like there’s so much I’d love to do, but there’s a block."
However, the former ‘TOWIE’ star feels there is a "snobbery" against her trying to chase her dreams of becoming a West End star as she rose to fame through reality shows.
She said: "I feel there is a snobbery around reality stars breaking into a different industry like acting, and that does make me feel uneasy because I’m sure there’s a lot of people that are probably going to be thinking, ‘She can’t act, she can’t sing!’
"Well, I’m here to prove them wrong, hunny."
Ferne recently admitted she is keen to marry her boyfriend Albie Gibbs, as she believes he is "the one".
She previously said: "I talk about him loads but he doesn’t want to be in the public eye and I respect that. I actually find that super attractive. Being a single parent, I’ve always said I can’t imagine parenting with someone else because that’s not been my experience so far.
"But being so in love with Albie, I do feel like he’s the one. He’s such an amazing guy. When you’re in love with someone, you think about the future and getting married and having more children, and he has definitely made me feel like that."
‘Ferne McCann: First Time Mum’ airs Wednesdays at 9pm on ITVBe and catch-up on ITV Hub.
