Ferne McCann – The New Face (and body) of By Caprice Lingerie and Home
Before she goes into The Jungle to take part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, we managed to have a chat with Ferne and talk to her about modelling, keeping fit and what it’s really like working with American businesswoman, model, actress and television personality Caprice Bourret.
What does it mean to you to be chosen as the face (and body) for the new By Caprice range?
It’s such an honour to be asked by Caprice to front By Caprice Home and Lingerie collections for A/W 15. It’s great to work with a female who’s an institution in her own right.
How did you get involved in this project?
I was brand ambassador a few seasons ago and the collection did really well so Caprice asked me back again. Of course I said yes in a heartbeat.
Tell us, what’s Caprice really like? Is she good fun to work with?
Caprice is great to work with. I admire her business acumen and she really gets involved. She is very hands on with her business. Caprice is also good fun and on the campaign photo-shoot she was giving me dating advice!
You look absolutely amazing in the campaign, what are your top tips for keeping in shape?
I’m body confident and I think it’s nice to have feminine curves. To keep my body fit and healthy I have a sensible gym routine – I always start off with 10 minutes on the running machine, two minutes run, 30 seconds sprint. So you only end up doing four sprints but it is effective. Then I’ll end on cardio just so when you leave the gym, you’re still burning calories. I also love team sports and play in a netball team with my sister – it can get quite competitive!
We love your Fashionable Foodie blog – what’s your favourite type of food?
Thank you! I’m into ‘clean’ unprocessed eating – I like to know everything that’s gone into my food and love Asian flavours the best – so lots of ginger, lemongrass, coconut oil and vegetables – I make lots of clear soups and curries.
You always look amazingly polished, do you feel a lot of pressure to always look good?
Of course you feel the pressure but you have got to be happy in yourself and not take what people say to heart.
What’s your favourite design in the By Caprice Home collection?
I am in love with By Caprice’s Sophie Home set. It is beautifully sophisticated and the delicate embroidery adds a hint of glamour. You can even add matching curtains and style up lots of stunning cushions!
Before you joined Towie, you were one of London’s top hair stylists & colourist working at Sassoons, do you have any hair-styling secrets to share with us?
It is all about the right colour. If you have thin hair like me a great tip is to add darker tones through your hair to give depth and volume. Likewise if you have darker hair, add lighter tones to make it look fuller.
Another good tip is to ensure you use heat protection to add moisture to your locks to prevent damage.
What advice do you have to our customers to help them look and feel fabulous?
Instantly boost your confidence by wearing beautiful underwear! A new lipstick to accentuate your mouth can help you feel fabulous and fresh, and a sexy pair of heels always boosts my confidence.
