A WOMAN accused of leaking Ferne McCann's voice notes has revealed she is facing no further action after being quizzed by cops.

Annie Bullah, 35, says she was arrested over claims she created the Instagram account that leaked voice notes said to have been sent by McCann in September 2022.

The Instagram account - which has since been shut down - went under the handle of @ladywhistledown, which is the name used for the incognito gossip columnist in Netflix series Bridgerton.

In the first voice note, Ferne was heard supposedly making a series of comments about her former best pals Sam and Billie Faiers.

Then, following a few weeks of silence, the account leaked another voice note.

This time Ferne was alleged to have made comments about her ex Arthur's acid attack victim Sophie Hall.

In the voice notes, a woman is heard mocking Sophie before adding: “She is one ugly f***ing c***.”

Annie, the partner of jailed Arthur Collins, said she was quizzed by cops in January last year amid allegations of harassment and malicious communications.

She has slammed the ITV presenter, 33, for wrongly accusing her as she revealed police will be taking no further action, MailOnline reports.

The business owner, from Chigwell, Essex, believes she was an "easy target" as she is now engaged to Collins.

She said: "In January 2023, I received a phone call saying that I was a suspect for harassment and malicious communication for Ferne McCann and her fianceé Lorri Haines.

"I was mortified. I'm a mother and I knew that I hadn't done anything wrong.

"Then I was arrested and put under caution.

"I went to the interview and there were all these handwritten letters supposedly from me.

"It was very distressing because even if you're innocent, people are found guilty every day when they haven't done the crime."

"In the interview they quizzed me about Arthur and asked if he had forced me to do it, was I under duress, all these horrible things."

On March 15, 2023, Ferne publicly apologised on This Morning for the voice note scandal.

Breaking down in tears, she said: "It definitely wasn't my finest hour and it definitely was a very difficult time in my life, but I do, I need to take this opportunity to publicly apologise again to those affected, obviously, the words I used were unpleasant and I have reached out privately to those people and it's very difficult."

The reality star then went on to say that she couldn't share her "full truth" yet as it's still a "criminal investigation".

Annie added that she was left "in the dirt" while Ferne "got to keep her TV show".

She added: "She ruined my life."

Annie also detailed how she was approached by people in the gym and "mums at school" asking about the ordeal.

Sources close to Ferne told MailOnline she denies having named Annie as a suspect.

Ferne's ex-boyfriend Collins carried out a horrific acid attack in a London nightclub back in 2017.

The convicted criminal, who's the father of Ferne's daughter Sunday — was found guilty of the April 2017 attack after a trial at the Wood Green Crown Court.

The Sun first revealed the pair were an item in June 2016 – but they split following a trip to Ibiza.

The pair rekindled their romance the following March after Ferne failed to find love on reality show Celebs Go Dating.

Ferne later revealed she was keen to move in with Collins, telling OK! magazine: “We spend every night together anyway. Moving in is definitely the next step. And I know that seems a bit rushed, but when you know, you know."

Following the acid attack and Collins' arrest, Ferne released a statement confirming she was pregnant but had split from Collins.
