Ferne McCann has been accused of making ‘disgusting’ comments about one of ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins’ acid attack victims  in newly-leaked voice notes.

An anonymous Instagram account leaked the recordings, which feature a woman’s voice labelling one of the jailed criminal’s victims a ‘silly b***h’. 

The former TOWIE star’s ex is currently serving 20 years in prison after he threw acid in an East London nightclub in April 2017 and injured 14 people. 

Collins – the father of Ferne’s daughter Sunday, five – was convicted of five counts of grievous bodily harm with intent, and nine counts of actual bodily harm against 14 people.

In a new audio clip released by the anonymous ladywhistledown195 Instagram account on Wednesday, a woman can allegedly be heard discussing one of Collins’ victims, Sophie Hall, entering a beauty pageant.

‘I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, the silly b***h has made a dress… A papier mache dress out of the newspaper cuttings from the event,’ the woman says.

The next story on the Instagram account, which boasts 49k followers, was captioned: ‘Voice note 5/39. This is the real Ferne talking about the acid victims.

‘This is disgusting and vile that she could ever talk about innocent victims. What a disgrace of a woman.’ 

The woman says in the voice note: ‘She’ll probably win it I’m not gonna lie, only because the event and the awards that she has entered or beauty competition, whatever it is.

‘They’re probably loving all this free press for their event so they’ll probably fix it, she’ll win it,’ the woman can be heard saying.

The account added another post, stating that they will be releasing more voice notes in the next 24 hours. 

Sophie bravely bared her scars as she reached the final in the Miss England competition in August 2018, only 15 months after the sickening attack.

She has permanent reminders on her shoulders, arm and face.

As she reached the finals of the prestigious beauty competition, Sophie, then 22, was photographed flaunting her assets in a red bikini, but more importantly embracing the scar on her left shoulder.

‘This is me fighting back and remaining strong,’ she had said. 

‘I want them to know we should be proud of our scars because they are a reminder of how strong we are.’  

Sophie said she was still having panic attacks and often ‘hysterical’ after the attack. 

She told her story on Good Morning Britain at the time, saying: ‘It (acid) actually took me off my chair, so it was as if someone had physically punched me, because it knocked me and I fell on the floor.

Sophie was out for a friend’s birthday in April last year when Arthur attacked her and 16 other revellers.

‘I felt like I was on fire and it took me a couple of minutes to realise it was acid.’

The former child model from Poole said she entered the contest because she wanted to be seen as more than an acid attack victim.

‘I wanted to have a positive impact and perhaps inspire people and not only build my confidence, but help other victims out there that may be having a tough time and to show that you can still go on and achieve fantastic things.

‘There’s so much to overcome and I’ve found there’s lots of rounds in this competition that you have to take part in and it has helped me rebuild different parts of my life – it’s helped me massively.’

Representatives for Ferne have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

The Instagram account which has released the voicenotes, was suspended after Ferne reported it to the police when it released posts allegedly from Ferne in which she branded her former TOWIE co-star Sam Faiers, 31, a ‘fat c***’ and ‘narcissistic b**ch’.  

Sam and Ferne, who starred alongside one another on The Only Way Is Essex, were friends for over 20 years before the drama.

Ferne has reportedly been left devastated by the leaked notes and ‘can’t stop crying’ as she has received backlash from fans online after the audios appeared to show her calling Sam a ‘fat c***’.

‘Her thighs are so big and I looked really skinny today,’ the message continued – cutting to other clips where allegedly describing Sam, Ferne said: ‘Sort of girl that she is, she’s just a narcissistic b**ch, she honestly won’t care.’

The voice messages were allegedly sent by Ferne on WhatsApp to a friend in June, just a month after Sam had given birth to her third baby, Edward.

But sharing that Ferne ‘doesn’t know what to do next’, a source explained: ‘She is in a living nightmare and wants this to stop. People don’t know all the facts. All eyes are on what could come out next on this Instagram account.’

‘If those voice notes were made by Ferne then it is incredibly damaging. She is being seen as a bit toxic at the moment. No one can believe she would say such things.’

Sam has unfollowed Ferne on Instagram amid the drama, with her sister Billie reportedly calling her former co-star to find out the situation. 

According to The Sun, Ferne reached out to Essex Police last month to see if they could locate the anonymous person behind an Instagram account that shared the shocking voice notes.

A source at the time said: ‘Ferne was visited by the police on Thursday night after having her life turned upside down by a fake account that has launched a malicious smear campaign against her.

‘Officers spent a few hours with her and gave reassurances that they are prioritising this case, tracking the parties responsible.

‘Having taken statements, the police are currently in the process of tracking the fake account’s whereabouts. The Online Safety Bill was discussed as they clamp down on cyber crime.’

The voice messages also allegedly show Ferne taking a swipe at Sam’s sister Billie, saying it was ‘weird’ that Billie decided to call her son Arthur – the name of Ferne’s ex, who she shares daughter Sunday with.

The voice note says: ‘It feels so weird saying ‘Arthur’, I can’t believe, it’s like me having a little boy and calling him Greg, anyway, whatever.’
