Billie Faiers and husband Greg Shepherd reveal how they knew they’d end up together

Their new series, Billie and Greg: The Family Diaries, began last week.

And ahead of Wednesday night’s episode, in an exclusive clip obtained by MailOnline, Billie Faiers, 31, and husband Greg Shepherd, 35, reflect on their decade-long romance.

The married couple reveal how they knew they’d end up together, with TOWIE star Billie admitting she knew he was ‘the one’ after a few dates, while Greg confessed he was certain after six months of dating. 

While sipping on champagne, Greg sweetly told Billie: ‘You look very beautiful. I feel like you’ve just got better with age.

‘I feel like I’m probably a little bit more obsessed with you now than I was nearly 10 years ago.’ 

Speaking in a confessional, Greg gushed: ‘I realised that Billie was “the one” after about six months together because she stopped being this mad, crazy 22 year old… 

‘And she sort of turned into a woman. And from then on I just knew then that we were gonna be together.’

Billie revealed to her husband: ‘When we first started seeing each other, after about the third date, I did think, I just had a feeling that we were gonna be together.

‘You know I’m one of those people where the smallest things bug me, but at the time nothing cringed me out or bugged me about you.’ 

An array of throwback photographs were also shown on screen, in a memory-lane montage of the pair’s relationship. 

Last week, Greg reminisced on his 10-year relationship with Billie by sharing a sweet throwback snap to his Instagram.  

The reality star posted the image to his grid which showed him and his now-wife Billie  on holiday in a sunny destination. 

The bikini-clad TOWIE star can be seen beaming with happiness in the image is bikini clad and smiling in the image, while Greg proudly holds his arm in the air as he wears sunglasses. 

In the second image, Greg posted a picture from their latest venture into reality TV Billie and Greg: The Family Diaries.  

The caption alongside the adorable post read: ‘How it started vs how it’s going… This picture was taken 10 years ago when it all began @billierfaiersofficial where has that time gone!’ 

The couple share two children together, Nellie, seven, and Arthur, four and their new show aired on Wednesday night. 

The programme is a restyle of the project she had with her sister Samantha, called Sam and Billie Faiers: The Mummy Diaries, which was cancelled after Sam decided to call it a day.

The ever-evolving Mummy Diaries began on ITVBe in 2016 as Sam Faiers: The Baby Diaries, before Billie joined the show which became Sam and Billie Faiers: The Mummy Diaries. 

Billie recently revealed to MailOnline that she was heavily targeted by mum-shamers while the show was on air. 

She said: ‘Sometimes mums try and pick something out [but] we will just delete and block, I would never retaliate’, and while Billie said feedback is largely positive but she confessed on-screen tantrums fill her with dread.   

Billie continued: ‘Do you know what? Generally, I feel like we get so much lovely feedback, I get so may mums in my DMs like ‘Billie thank you so much for sharing that with the kids on The Mummy Diaries.’

‘We’re really lucky, but don’t get me wrong I’ve definitely had the odd comment here and there, and it might be something about a seatbelt or a car seat, you know…  

‘Sometimes mums my try and pick something out, but for us personally it’s actually not that bad. If it was on a post or something we will just delete and block, I wouldn’t retaliate’, while Greg added: ‘We just delete it!’

Billie also discussed her fears over certain aspects of family life being shown on-screen, including candid moments with the kids acting up.

She said: ‘I think there’s been so many scenarios where you think ‘Oh my gosh, they’re filming’ and naturally, as a parent you think it’s not ideal and then you do think, ‘Oh I wonder what reaction that’s gonna have.”

‘There’s been so many scenarios with us, Nelly and Arthur and you think ‘How’s that gonna go down?’ I’m gonna get loads of bad comments, ‘you’re a bad mum’ and actually, nine times out of ten it goes the opposite way.’

‘People relate to it,’ Greg said of the show.

It still shocks Billie when she receives DMs from other parents in a similar position, she said: ‘You worry about it and people go, ‘Oh my goodness my child did that or my child is like that’ so it’s actually quite funny how you build it up in your head but it goes the other way.’
