Like Billie, who rose to fame on TOWIE, their children Nelly, nine, Arthur, six, and Margot, 17 months have similarly grown up on reality TV, but since birth
‘I think unless there’s like something like a concern, like, you know, if Nelly comes to me and said anything she was worried about.
‘Obviously, the children are always our number one priority in their happiness. But I think we’re very good at keeping them grounded.’
Their oldest daughter Nelly made her television debut on The Only Way Is Essex in 2014 when she was weeks old.
Similarly to Nelly, Arthur first appeared on screens shortly after he was born when Billie and sister Sam had their joint series The Mummy Diaries.
Since Sam quit the series in 2021, Billie and Greg have continued to showcased their glamorous lives on their own show – where baby daughter Margot was introduced.
Billie added: ‘They are kids at the end of the day, I think, you know, Nelly is such a funny, happy little character, so like, personable.
‘She’s always been used to having like, lots of people around her. And I think that it will only be like, positive for her and her future.
‘That was always something I I’ve always thought about like, “Oh, would she be treated differently? Or would she, you know, comes to face with anything” but honestly, like we’ve had none of that.
