The former 'Only Way is Essex' star gave birth to her daughter Sunday four weeks ago, and she revealed she had come up with her name very early in her pregnancy.

She said: "I decided Sunday would be my girl's name really early on in my pregnancy.

"It came to me after my make-up artist recommended a cleanser to me by a brand called Sunday Riley. I thought it had a really nice ring to it and the more I thought about it, the more I loved it. I wanted something unique but not too weird. I know that not everyone is going to love it but I've had a great response from people so far."

However, Ferne has had a hard time settling on a middle name for Sunday, whose father is her jailed former boyfriend Arthur Collins.

She said: "I felt quite certain that her middle name would be Sky, but then I told a friend who didn't like it and now I'm not sure. I definitely want her middle name to be one syllable and to begin with an S because I like the alliteration."

Ferne admitted she has had a "horrendous" time over the last few months after Arthur was accused, and subsequently found guilty of, an acid attack in a nightclub early in her pregnancy, and she doesn't think she'll ever truly come to terms with what happened.

She told OK! magazine: "It's been a really emotional time.

"It's been horrendous and very difficult to come to terms with and I probably never will.

"I was in shock for a long time. The past six months have been hell but I'm not the victim in this and I'm certainly not looking for sympathy."
