Shaughna 'The show must go on'

She was dealt a huge blow when her boyfriend and father of her unborn baby was charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A drug, and now Shaughna Phillips has opened up on how she’s been coping since the shock news.

Speaking exclusively to new, the former Love Island star – who is due to give birth to her first baby in March – described the past few weeks as “challenging”, and confirmed that her businessman and property developer boyfriend Billy Webb “isn’t around”.

But she added that she’s making preparations for the birth of their baby next month and is trying to remain calm with the help and support of her family and friends.

The 28-year-old told us, “After a challenging few weeks, obviously, the baby’s father isn’t around. But my main focus has always been just to prepare for the birth and try to be as calm as possible.
