The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star is smitten with her pal's new bundle of joy Paul, whom she has with partner Paul Knightley, and can't stop popping over for a cuddle.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the National Television Awards last night (20.01.16), she said: "I go round there every day, bugging the life out of her. She actually said baby Paul loves my loud voice so that's alright isn't it."

And, although she's already developed a close bond with the little one, Ferne, 25, doesn't think she'll be asked to be three-week-old Paul's godmother, as Sam will probably want her sister Billie, who has 19-month-old daughter Nellie, as one.

She added: "She hasn't actually mentioned about godmother but I'd imagine her sister is probably going to be one."

Meanwhile, Ferne may have turned her back on 'TOWIE' last month to take part on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!', but she hasn't completely ruled out a return in the future.

She said: "I would never completely close the door on 'TOWIE', but I do feel like it's time to move on. It's so cool."
