Fern was dubbed ‘deluded’ following the posts by furious social media users.

“However, if this is all a con to control us, what is the end game?
“This is an authentic question.”
The star also admitted she is ‘not coping’ following lockdown three after she replied to a fan who said: “Oh God don’t say that. I’m not coping as it is.”

Fern has been vocal throughout the pandemic on advising her followers to follow protocols.
She recently tweeted following the news of a third lockdown in the UK: “This virus is not going away anytime soon.
“We must be vigilant and assume we may be carrying it.”
She added: “If we don’t, the NHS will crumble, more and more people we love will die and our children will have their education, their future and their mental health destroyed.”
Fern finished the post by reiterating the government’s lockdown slogan.
“FACE HANDS SPACE,” she said.
