FERNE'S EX IN JAIL PLEA

Ferne McCann’s jailed ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins begins bid to reduce sentence for acid attack

TV star Ferne McCann’s jailed ex-lover this week begins a bid to reduce his sentence for a horror club acid attack.

Arthur Collins, 26, must serve two-thirds rather than half a 20-year term after a judge deemed him “dangerous” and a “significant risk” to the public.

His legal team will now try to persuade the Court of Appeal he is not dangerous.

A source said: “Arthur and his family feel the sentence was too harsh.

“If successful he’ll serve ten years rather than around 14.”

The former scaffolder, of Broxbourne, Herts, injured 22 revellers at a venue in Dalston, East London, last year.
