Yet, at the same time, The Sun exclusively reported how the father to her seven-year-old daughter Sunday, who was jailed for an acid attack, had been caught getting a suspected steroid injection in his cell.

Video of Arthur Collins, 32, taken on a smuggled phone, came as he was linked to drug drops by drone at jails in Herts and Greater Manchester.

Meanwhile, mum of two Ferne, 34, was letting her hair down at the iconic annual sporting event.

In her caption, she ignored the breaking scandal and wrote: “Royal Ascot you were gorgeous.

“One of my favourite days. No big wins sadly although I did pocket £14.50, better than nothing right.

“Thank you for having me @ascotracecourse @hunt_communications here’s to next year.”

Images showed her in a plunging silk slip dress with cap sleeve detail and a ruched design on the front which accentuated her toned figure.

Ferne paired the frock with white point-toe wedge shoes and a feathered fascinator.

She left her brunette locks in natural waves flowing over her shoulders and kept her make-up natural.

Ferne welcomed eldest daughter Sunday with acid attacker Arthur in 2017.

Earlier that year, Ferne’s then-boyfriend Arthur was charged with a London nightclub acid attack that happened in April.

Ferne announced her pregnancy shortly after his arrest, stating the relationship was over and that she planned to raise their baby alone.

Eight years ago, Arthur was found guilty of five counts of grievous bodily harm and nine of actual bodily harm, and sentenced to 20 years behind bars with an extra five on licence.

JAIL JAB

This weekend, we reported how Arthur appeared to be seen being injected in his bum in his jail cell.

In the clip, he is asked, “Hey, bruv, what are you doing?”, by a fellow prisoner — before replying: “Injecting.”

The exchange was caught on our exclusive video, showing laughing Arthur apparently receiving a jab in his buttock from another lag.

He could face disciplinary action after the body-building drug was seemingly sneaked into the jail, along with a handset used to record footage in his cell.

Collins was recently switched from The Mount Prison — where the footage was taken — amid fears he was plotting to import drugs using drones.

And it comes after a jail anti-corruption team found illicit items at his new home — HMP Buckley Hall, near Rochdale.

A source said: “Collins has been in trouble constantly and doesn’t seem to care. He goes around like he is the big ‘I am’ and as if he rules the roost.”

His actions will sicken the 22 victims of his 2017 attack when he hurled acid across in an East London nightclub — leaving 16 people with serious burns.
