'We're outnumbered now - send help!'

Parents-of-three Billie and Greg Shepherd on cherishing date nights and their ultimate hangover cure
'We're outnumbered now - send help!'

When we catch up with Billie and Greg Shepherd, we realise it’s a rare sight to see them without their kids in tow – Nelly, nine, Arthur, six, and Margot, nine months.

As a brood who pretty much do everything together – including documenting their lives on The Family Diaries – the couple admit they have their hands full since welcoming their third child.

“This summer has been busier than ever – we’re outnumbered now. Send help,” Billie laughs to new on the National Television Awards 2023 red carpet.

The pair, who have been married for four years, welcomed baby Margot in December 2022. Viewers followed the reality star’s final weeks of pregnancy and her three-day labour as they filmed the birth for the show.

Since then, fans have been avidly following the family’s daily life – including an unforgettable holiday to the Maldives and moving into their new Essex mansion.

However, for busy parents Billie, 33, and Greg, 38, having one-on-one time proves tricky, and they admit to us they get “very few date nights together”.

In fact, Greg even lets slip they “really only get two or three nights out a year without the kids, so we want to make the most of it”, as Billie’s mum, Suzie Wells, babysits while they attend the star-studded TV event.
