Forget keeping up with the Kardashians – now it’s all about the Shepherds. After Billie Shepherd’s sister Sam Faiers quit their long-running series The Mummy Diaries, she and husband Greg decided to go it alone with a brand-new reality show, Billie & Greg: The Family Diaries.

“It’s been great fun but I feel like when it actually airs, I’m going to be really nervous because the pressure’s on just us now!” Billie, tells new as she and Greg join us for a chat.

Over the next few weeks, viewers will once again become flies on the wall as Billie, 31, and Greg, 35, juggle work with their hectic family life alongside kids – and total scene stealers – Nelly, seven, and Arthur, four.

But it’s not all happy families, as Billie and Greg have to deal with the mounting stress of their busy work schedules, parenting and renovating their dream home.

Here, the couple, who recently celebrated a decade together, tell us all about the exciting new chapter in their lives and reveal that Nelly and Arthur are constantly egging them on to have baby number three…

Hi, Billie and Greg. When Sam announced she was quitting The Mummy Diaries, was it a tough decision to do your own series?

Billie: Obviously, we spoke about it and said, “Oh God, can we do this, just us two and the kids?” because it’s a big decision to make. But then we thought, “Why not? We enjoy filming the show.” And we knew we had loads going on in the year ahead of us.

Greg: It was a no-brainer for me. Why not?

So what’s in store?
