DISAPPOINTED Ferne McCann was “let down” by her famous pals who failed to support her on Dancing on Ice.
The 34-year-old was the second star to be knocked out of the competition in a shock early exit.

Ferne finished third from the bottom of the leader board during movie night but received the fewest votes from viewers – despite the best efforts of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley who told her 583k followers: “Don’t forget to vote for Ferne!”
However, many of her former Towie co-stars went quiet online.
An insider told us: “Her closest friends didn’t even post the ITV number to save her or encourage their fans to vote.
“One of her best friends totally ignored it even though she’s been there for them through thick and thin.
“Maybe if her friends had rallied around her and posted in her favour, it would have been a different outcome.
“I’m sure it feels like a real kick in the teeth.”
As The Sun revealed earlier today, Ferne was “crying hysterically” backstage – unable to understand what had gone wrong.
After hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern delivered the bad news, Ferne said: “I’m so gutted, so gutted, but… it is what it is.
“We were having so much fun, I’m really sad…”
Ferne’s voice trailed off as Holly said sympathetically: “Oh Ferne I can see you’re upset.”
Ferne waved to the crowd before becoming overwhelmed with emotion and covering her face.
She didn’t make it round the whole rink and ended up exiting down the tunnel early.
Ferne McCann boasts 2.9million followers on Instagram, while her competitor Charlie Brooks – who was also in the bottom two – has just 304,000.
However, having both received the fewest votes, Ferne was told her time on Dancing on Ice was over.
Despite the disappointment, sources close to Ferne insist she pulled herself together for her seven-year-old daughter Sunday.
The Sun has approached Ferne’s rep for comment.
