PRESENTER and reality TV star Ferne McCann tested out her sea legs as she took to a historic Harwich pier to film a segment for an upcoming show.

Christine and Roy Thompson, from Great Oakley, were delighted to snap a picture with the former The Only Way Is Essex star.

McCann, 29, was spotted stepping aboard a fishing boat as she filmed a segment for ITV’s This Morning.

The star is a regular showbiz reporter for the popular daytime talk show.

Christine said: “We were sitting on Harwich’s Ha’penny Pierwhen suddenly a cameraman and Ferne McCann turned up.

“We watched them as they recorded a clip about Harwich.

“While chatting to Ferne she asked if we would like a picture together.”

The segment about Harwich is expected to be shown during a This Morning show set to air this week.
