She captioned the happy snap, "Today I got to ask my girlies to be my bridesmaids? Of course they said YESS.

Danielle, who is set to tie the knot with fiancé Tommy Edney in August 2022, had already got into her new role in a bridal-inspired white cropped top, stonewash jeans and court shoes.
The bride-to-be revealed on her Instagram stories that she had been planning the surprise for several months: "I am so excited for today, I have been planning this for a few months now but I have a got a few of my girls coming round which they think they are just having a little girly lunch at mine.
"Little do they know, I am actually going to be asking them to be my bridesmaids! We are going to go up to London have a Champagne afternoon tea and now we can start planning for the wedding! The date is booked - August 2022. I am going to be Mrs Edney!"
She followed it up with a picture of Laurent-Perrier rose Champagne and a cheeky caption - "Champs for my maids, little do they know."
The whole bridesmaid crew included Ferne, plus Danielle's personal assistant Gemma Edwards, and friends Kayleigh Marie, Terrie Smith and Sophie Langton.
Ferne shared a few picture of the proposal and her gifts from Danielle with the caption, "Yes YES Yes. Wow, feeling so overwhelmed and emotional. I am beyond excited."
Danielle got engaged to her childhood best friend Tommy in Dubai in March 2019 and they share one-year-old daughter Orla.
