Billie Faiers 'would rather' sleep alone with her new baby than with husband Greg

Billie Faiers has said that she "would rather" sleep alone with her new baby than sleep with her husband Greg.

The former TOWIE star, 33, welcomed her baby girl three months ago and has chosen to switch up the sleeping arrangements.

Mum of three Billie has been sleeping with baby Margot in the spare room as it was "easier".

The Essex star married Greg Shepherd in 2019 and they also share children Nelly and Arthur.

After a long labour, Margot arrived on 2 December 2022 and weighed 7lb 10oz.

The Family Diaries star revealed her most recent birth was the most "stressful" as she was in labour for three days.

When Margot was able to go home, Billie found sleeping alone with her was the best option.

“As she’s so tiny, I said to Greg, “I’d rather be in the bed with her on my own,’” she told OK!

“I find I sleep better and she sleeps better when it’s just us two – but last night Greg was in the bed.”

She laughs, “It is a bit like musical beds in our house. You just do what you’ve got to do sometimes.”

Billie says she sometimes feels like a "zombie" as she struggles to sleep some nights.

The reality TV personality thinks she has brain fog, something she didn't get with children Nelly and Arthur.

Billie recently divided her fans with a present for eldest daughter Nelly, 10.

She showed her followers a photo of her daughter on a horse.

Billie captioned it: "Welcome to the Shepherd family Bambi.

"Today we made our little lady's dream come true. Horse riding has become one of the biggest parts of Nelly's life."

Many followers congratulated the star for the gift and for making her daughter so happy, but others weren't convinced.

One said she was "spoiling" her daughter and another added: "Today on 'I'm rich, you're poor'".

Billie has also been at the centre of Ferne McCann's voice note scandal.

Former TOWIE star Ferne broke down in tears while speaking on This Morning about the voice notes, in which she supposedly made a series of comments about her former best pals Sam and Billie Faiers.

She allegedly called Sam a "fat c***" as well as appearing to call the mum-of-three a narcissistic b***h'. In another, Ferne was accused of hitting out at Billie for giving her son the same name as her jailed ex Arthur.

The anonymous account sharing the alleged voice notes also claimed Ferne made comments about her ex Arthur's acid attack victim Sophie Hall.
