‘ You Need To Accept You'll Have Bad Days With Your Partner'

Reality star Billie Faiers, 28, shares what she’s learned since becoming a mum, and why she didn’t pick pal Ferne McCann as a bridesmaid for her upcoming wedding to Greg Shepherd

‘TRY NOT TO STRESS OVER YOUR BIG DAY’

When I was younger, I thought I’d want a big white wedding in a church with loads of people there, but I wouldn’t do that now. It’s going to be intimate. Greg and I haven’t set a date yet, but it’s definitely going to be next year. It’s been a long time coming and I can’t wait, but I’m not going to stress over it. I’ve asked my sister Sam to help me find a wedding photographer – it’s good to share out the responsibilities.

‘NEVER CHOOSE BETWEEN YOUR FRIENDS’

So many of my friends have had eight pals as bridesmaids, but I think it’s too much. There was a story that my friend Ferne [McCann] was upset she won’t be one of my bridesmaids, but I’ve got a really good group of friends and I could never pick just one or two of them – never choose between your friends. I decided to just have Sam as my Maid of Honour. Ferne wasn’t upset about it, she’d known for ages.
