Ferne McCann reaches out to acid attack victim after voicenotes leak
FERNE McCann has reached out to the acid attack victim she's accused of mocking in a "cruel" voice note.
The Towie star broke her silence on the leaked messages today, claiming they have been released to "intimidate and discredit" her.
Ferne, 31, also offered her "deepest sympathies" to victim Sophie Hall - who was slammed as an " ugly f***ing c***" in the latest private audio that's been released.
Sophie was scarred for life when the reality star's then-boyfriend Arthur Collins threw acid in a London club in 2017.
Amid an ongoing police investigation, a spokesman for Ferne told The Sun: "These voice messages are part of a wider harassment campaign designed to intimidate and discredit Ferne.
"They are subject to an ongoing investigation being carried out by Essex Police.

"As such, Ferne is unable to comment other than to say she offers her deepest sympathies for the distress and hurt this situation is causing Ms. Hall."
The audio has been published by a mystery Instagram account — Lady Whistledown, named after the gossip from TV’s Bridgerton.
Police are hunting the unknown person who has threatened to leak more voice notes in the coming days.
The Sun last night revealed victim Sophie branded Ferne "cruel" over the latest private audio message, which mocks her appearance.

In the audio a voice said to be Ferne's fumes: "I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"The silly b**** has made a dress, a papier-mâché dress out of the cuttings from the event.
"She will probably win it. I’m not going to lie. Only because the awards she entered are probably loving all this free press. So they will probably fix it, she will win. She is one ugly f***ing c***."
In messages leaked in September, Ferne allegedly branded her pal Sam Faiers a "fat c***".
"Her thighs are so big and I looked really skinny today," the voice continued.

"She is just a narcissistic b****."
Sam and her sister Billie Faiers have since ended their friendship with Ferne.
