Billie Faiers has shared a glimpse at her daughter's lavish birthday party inspired by hit show Friends. Nelly and her pals were treated to a TV-themed sleepover of epic proportions as she turned nine.
The incredible celebrations included a Friends t-shirt for every guest and garden picnic, complete with customised Friends photo signs and frames for photo opportunities. Nelly and friends were also shown taking a dip in a pool filled with balloons - and had their own teepees to snooze the night away in.
Fans joked that they were "jealous" of the youngster and said they'd love a similar theme for their own birthdays. However some did question if it was a little too grown-up for Nelly's age.

Sharing a video of clips from the day - all set to the Friends theme tune of I'll Be There for You by The Rembrandts - Billie thanked the suppliers who helped make the theme a reality. The proud mum-of-three told followers: "The one where Nelly turns 9’ … Nelly’s ‘Friends’ themed Birthday Sleepover so much fun this weekend celebrating Nelly’s Birthday."
The former The Only Way is Essex star added: "This theme did challenge me slightly. Thank you to the wonderful team of creative people who helped me bring the vision to life. I absolutely love planning the kids parties ! No matter what theme I throw out there , it always comes together perfectly."
@sophiealexlamb said: "I want this nevermind a 9 year old", while @mrsslvg tagged friends and asked: "Nevermind for a 9 year old, why isn’t this our birthday party?!" How amazing is this!" Meanwhile @ellesg said: "Why am I jealous of a 9 year old"" and @jennamellissa shared the same sentiment, writing: "I’ve never been more jealous of a 9 year old."
@sallypearl61 wondered how mum Billie and dad Greg would keep up the tradition, asking: "Gosh, what will happen when she’s 16!!?" And @carolineguygibbens wanted to know: "Where’s the old tradition jelly and ice-cream and pass the parcel."
In March, Billie defended her decision to buy Nelly a horse of her own. She revealed she'd bought the horse on her podcast with her sister Sam, 32, saying she'd been thinking about it for a while but had planned to wait until Nelly's 10th birthday.
"We always thought for Nelly's 10th birthday we would consider getting her a horse," she explained. "So there's a horse at the stables we're at, basically, the little girl has outgrown the pony. She's too big for the pony now. The horse is called Bambi, and it's so lovely, it's just a really lovely pony."
