Trying to explain, she says: ‘It’s just pretend, it’s just pretend,’ with Nelly screaming: ‘No!’
Attempting to make a joke out of the situation, Greg quips: ‘Be careful if you are living in Brentwood… there’s a T-Rex on the loose!’
Speaking behind-the-scenes, Billie explains: ‘I get that he thought this was going to be great but actually we avoided going to a kid’s birthday party a few months ago because they had one of these T-Rex dinosaurs there.
‘We knew Nelly and Arthur wouldn’t like it! It completely backfired and all it did was prolong my shoot.’
