Ferne McCann ‘cannot stop thinking’ about Nicola Bulley as she prays for anguished family

Former TOWIE star Ferne McCann has taken a break from her Paris holiday, as she shares with fans that she can't stop thinking about Nicola Bulley, who vanished last Friday while on a riverside dog walk.

Sharing a screenshot of a news article about the missing persons case to her Instagram story, Ferne wrote: "I cannot stop thinking about Nicola Bulley [white heart emoji. The anguish her family must be going through.

"I'm praying for Nicola, her children and her family" the TV star finished.

Sky News report that the search for the missing mum-of-two has been "quickly escalated into a high-risk missing persons investigation" after her mobile phone was discovered still connected to a work conference call.

Speaking about her disappearance, Nicola's partner Paul Ansell told the BBC: "We're never going to lose hope, but it is as though she has vanished into thin air… just insane"

Nicola disappeared while on a dog walk in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire on Friday January 27. She was last seen at around 9:10 that morning.

Ferne's post comes amid a holiday in Paris, where she is celebrating a friend's 30th birthday. The TV star has shared a number of snaps of the celebrations to her Instagram page.

Taking a picture of her friend laughing at Kings Cross station on Thursday morning, the mum-of-one wrote: “Paris here we come, for my girl's 30th."

In another snap at the station, Ferne looked cosy as she wrapped up in a big black puffer jacket, big scarf, hot pink beanie hat and matching handbag.

She paired the look with a pair of celeb-loved black moon boots as she headed on the Eurostar to the French capital.

Ferne, who shares daughter Sunday with jailed boyfriend Arthur Collins, is believed to be expecting her second child, and first with fiancée Lorri Haines.

Speaking to OK! a source close to Ferne told us: "Ferne and Lorri are so excited. They can’t wait to be a family of five. Lorri has been openly speaking about it with their friends and family – he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“They’re so loved-up and have always spoken about expanding their family. They’re going to make the best parents, and Sunday can’t wait to be a big sister.”

Ferne met businessman Lorri, 31, in Dubai and they got engaged during a holiday to France last July. The star has made no secret of her plans to settle down with Lorri, previously telling new:

“[Marriage and kids] is definitely something we talk about all the time. Lorri’s the first person I can see having a future with, so those things often come up.”

And in September, she shared her dreams to have another baby. “I’d love for Sunday to have a sibling, and extend and grow our family,” she confessed. “I really want a baby now, I’m so ready, but do you know what, every baby is a miracle, and it will happen when it’s meant to be.”
