FAMILY MATTERS: ‘I'M THE FIERY ONE – I KNOW HOW TO PUSH GREG'S BUTTONS'

BILLIE SHEPHERD OPENS UP TO OK! ABOUT LIFE AT HOME THE SECRET TO HER HAPPY MARRIAGE AND PLANS TO EXPAND HER BROOD

- EMILY WHITWAM

Billie Shepherd is not one to hold back when it comes to talking about the highs and lows of motherhood on her hit TV show The Mummy Diaries.

So we expected nothing less when we caught up with her over a Zoom call to chat about her spring children’s collection with George.

The 31-year-old, who has daughter Nelly, six, and son Arthur, four, with hubby Greg, 35, opens up to us about marital bickering and Arthur’s pre-nursery “meltdowns”.

We also chat about Billie’s recent stint on Dancing On Ice, which she had to quit early after suffering a head injury in a fall during training.

“I was so upset,” she tells us. “Obviously, these things happen but you never think it will happen to you.”

The former TOWIE star also faced heartache a week before she was forced to quit the ITV show when she lost her beloved nanny Wendy – and just hours after our interview, it emerged that her grandad Mick had passed away following a long battle with cancer.

Here, Billie talks about her dramatic exit from Dancing On Ice, her dreams of buying Nelly a horse and her thoughts on having another child…

Hi, Billie. We were gutted you had to pull out of Dancing On Ice early. We know you suffered a head injury but what happened?
