The Essex gal's body has changed over the years...
With former TOWIE star Billie Faiers celebrating her wild Ibiza hen do and a luxurious Maldivian wedding all in the space of eight months, something that can’t go unnoticed is the mum-of-two’s unreal bikini body, showcased in the countless snaps from the lavish vacays.
Of course, Bil has had a fab figure ever since she hit our screens back in 2011, but it seems the 29-year-old certainly wasn’t slacking at the gym in the run up to her sun soaked nuptials!
Sporting a bleached blonde bob and super accentuated assets, a then 22-year-old Billie was part of the OG TOWIE cast.
Aw! In 2012 Billie and hubby Greg Shepherd began their romance. In this snap the pair can be seen enjoying a night out as a pair, with Billie still rocking a more curvy figure in a classic LBD.
The pitter-patter of little feet!
By 2014 a big-bumped Billie and businessman Greg were expecting their first baby, Nelly.
Taking a break from life as a new mum, Billie jetted off to Tenerife with the TOWIE cast in 2015.
Flaunting her post-pregnancy bod, she confidently sported a series of all white summer ensembles.
It’s 2017 and Billie has another bun in the oven! Glowing her way through pregnancy, the yummy mummy showed off her bump containing baby Arthur.
Having been engaged to Greg since 2014, Billie finally flew off to Ibiza last year for her long awaited hen do, looking like she’d undergone a total body overhaul.
Show casing her slim line physique, Bil treated fans to plenty of swimsuit snaps as she partied in the sunshine.
Wedding bells! Billie and Greg tied the knot in May this year and they didn’t do it by halves, reportedly spending thousands on jetting their guests to a luxury resort in the Maldives for the lavish ceremony .
Billie was sure to share lots more beach pics showing off her petite frame as well as some utterly stunning snapshots of the big day.
Having taken on a new fitness and diet regime, Gemma recently declared on Instagram she had lost a significant amount of weight.
During a consultation with Kardashian surgeon Dr Ourian last week, Gem was heard telling him: ‘I need this fat sucked out of my face pronto.
‘I’ve just lost two and a half stone but the face don’t get any thinner.’
The Dancing On Ice contestant certainly hasn’t let her trip to the states derail her new healthy lifestyle, something she proved when she shared a snippet of an intense looking workout.
Uploading a video as she sprinted up hill in California’s Canyon Park, GC can be seen breaking a sweat in a bright yellow t-shirt paired with black leggings.
In the sporty footage the former Romford car-dealer can be heard saying: ‘Nobody’s going to get up this Canyon faster than the GC,’ while personal trainer and former TOWIE castmate Charlie King cheers her on, shouting: ‘Go girl!’
Beside the post, Gemma added a super motivational fitness update, penning: ‘RUNYON CANYON ……. To get to the TOP you can never GIVE UP ….. my fitness levels increase daily thank you @charlie_king85#keeppushingyourself.’
Plenty of Gem’s loyal fans were quick to praise her achievement, with one commenting: ‘Smashing ittt ,’ and another chipping in to say: ‘Monday motivation.’
Lydia says she feels sorry for Arg as he continues to struggle with his weight
Lydia Bright has backtracked after branding ex-boyfriend James Argent as fat as an ‘elephant’.
Former TOWIE star Arg, who dated Lydia on and off for six years before they split for good in 2016, was recently told he needed to lose 10 stone after his weight ballooned.
And Lydia appeared to take a dig at her ex’s weight gain when she recently appeared on Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing’s podcast.
The blonde TV star took part in a psychological test where she had to pick her two favourite animals, and she said they were an angel fish and an elephant.
That prompted Jamie to suggest that’s how she perceives herself and her boyfriend.
‘So what it’s an elephant? Big and round – maybe if I was still with Arg,’ Lydia replied.
But now Lydia has admitted she ‘feels bad’ for her ex as he continues to struggle with his weight.
‘All my problems stem from food. I have an eating disorder.’
Arg went on to explain that he replaced booze with eating, sparking his recent weight gain.
He said: I’m proud of myself with how my career is going and that I’ve stayed clean and sober rather than going out with my mates to a club and drinking.
‘But now if I’ve had a good or bad day, I’m now comfort eating. I knew I had put on a substantial amount of weight when I looked in the mirror and could see my clothes weren’t fitting…
‘My friends used to have a laugh about my love of food and that I’m chubby, but no one is really laughing anymore.
The daytime show’s resident doc, Dr Ranj, warned the reality star he needed to lose 10 stone to get back to a healthy size.
‘Anything I say is out of love, but it is tough love… Long term, you need to lose 10 stone to get back towards that normal range, and you need to lose 17 inches off your waist,’ he urged.
It comes after Arg also faced a career blow when he was axed from the long-running ITVBe show.
TOWIE show bosses said they have ‘no plans to film with James at this time’.
Self-confessed diva Gemma Collins recently declared to her 1.3 million Instagram followers that she has managed to shed a whopping two and a half stone- and now she’s revealed the secret behind the weight loss.
Having been living it large in Los Angeles for the past week, 38-year-old Gemma shared a snippet from the moment she swung by Kardashain surgeon, Dr Ourian’s office for a consultation.
After demanding the celeb favourite doc ‘sucked the fat out of her face’, she revealed the details of her shrinking figure to fans, announcing: ‘I’ve just lost two and a half stone but the face don’t get any thinner.’
So, what has Gem being doing to drop the pounds? The former Romford car dealer revealed her secret on social media today.

Uploading a snapshot of a bowl containing a super nutritious looking meal, complete with cauliflower and lentils, the TOWIE star penned: ‘Follow my personal fitness chef who has been helping me on my journey to health.’
Tagging fitness expert Vicky Young in the post, Gemma credited her body transformation to the exercise pro, who she has been friends with since childhood.

Other meals favoured by Gem’s healthy pal include kale chips baked with olive oil and sea salt, turkey stir -fry with veggies and chorizo mixed with onion and peppers.
Having seemingly been chowing down on the mega nourishing dishes, Gemma made sure to show off the results of her lifestyle change this week.
A post shared by Vicky Young (@vicky_fit_foreveryoung) on
Sharing a sizzling snap as she sunbathed in the LA heat, the reality star bared her bottom in a tiny thong swimsuit, leaving little to her fan’s imaginations.
Ensuring she was exposed to the rays from all angles, Gem pointed her perky bum directly at the camera, confidently posing on the poolside.
After quitting TOWIE earlier this year, Chloe found success in the fashion world when she launched her own swimwear collection with Boohoo.
Speaking about why she decided to leave the long-running ITV show, she added to the publication: ‘I’m really grateful for the show, but I sort of outgrew it. I think when your relationship isn’t on the show, it’s very hard to do both.
‘I just feel like it’s more important to have a happy personal life, so I just made the decision to leave.’
Ther former TOWIE shocked fans with her latest look
Fans are begging Lauren Goodger to stop all her cosmetic surgery after she was snapped at Marnie Simpson’s gender reveal party looking almost unrecognisable.
The former TOWIE star, who has been experimenting with procedures since she shot to fame on the reality TV show nine years ago, was joined by Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry, 23, when she shared the shocking images.
In the picture, Lauren, 32, can be seen pouting in a plunging black top but it is her extremely plumped lips and overly sculpted cheeks that fans were drawn to.
One follower just said: ‘duck lips’ and a ‘blown up mess’ while another said she should be demanding a refund from her doctor.
But more empathetic fans said they were saddened by her appearance.
Former TOWIE star Jess Wright has finally unveiled her hunky new man!
Jess shared the first picture of businessman boyfriend William Lee-Kemp on Monday and it was soon flooded with sweet comments from friends and family, who are clearly thrilled to see her all loved-up again.
In the snap, William’s affectionately got his arm around Jess as they pose on a swanky boat in Port Andratx in Mallorca.
The TOWIE babe looks stunning in a flattering blue jumpsuit while her boyfriend looks all kinds of handsome in a dark shirt and chinos.
Showing they’re already pretty serious, Jess captioned the picture with a world emoji.
Gemma Collins wrote underneath the snap, ‘So happy for you,’ while Lydia Bright commented, ‘Yes this makes me happy.’
Lydia’s mum Debbie even chimed in, writing, ‘Good things happen to those who wait.’
Denise Van Outen shared, ‘Best couple,’ while Maria Fowler simply wrote, ‘Beautiful.’
The brunette TV star’s post comes just a week after William was revealed to be a close pal of Jess’s brother Mark, despite the pair trying to keep their romance under wraps.
Dishing the details on Jess and her romance with the businessman, a source revealed: ‘Jess and William are in love – they’re very happy together and their friends and family couldn’t be more chuffed for them.
‘William shares a flat with Mark’s best friend and they’re all close mates. He definitely has the approval of Jess’ family.
‘His friends describe him as ‘Mr Normal’ – he’s not at all interested in fame or being in the public eye but that hasn’t put him off being with Jess either.’
Speaking to The Sun, the insider added: ‘He understands her life as a celebrity but has his own focus running his audio visual company.’
Jess and William’s budding love affair comes after the Essex native split with Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice last April.
Before William’s identity was revealed, Jess spoke to CelebsNow about how things were going.
She swooned: ‘It’s going well. I’m not really coming out and saying too much about it at the minute because I think it’s nice to keep certain things private. But I’m really happy at the minute.’
‘It’s been an amazing year for me so far and it’s just getting better and better, so I feel very blessed.’
TOWIE stars Amber Turner and Dan Edgar are back together after being spotted packing on the PDA in Ibiza.
Although they’re yet to publicly confirm the rekindled romance themselves, the pair – who have been on and off since 2017 – were pictured all over each other as they enjoyed a short break on the White Isle this week.
Amber, who was only spotted snogging hunky businessman Ed Crossan man just last week, and Dan, who’s just ended his fling with Chloe Sims, first sparked rumours of a reconciliation when they started to post identical pictures from the same swanky hotspots.
When Dan, 29, shared a snap of himself posing in front of the Destino sign, dozens of his followers commented that Amber was also there.
‘Defo with Amber,’ one simply wrote under the shot.
Looking like they never split, the pair were also snapped walking hand-in-hand on the beach and later sipping cocktails poolside.
Amber and Dan’s reconciliation comes after the 25-year-old TOWIE babe insisted she would never get back with her ex.
Amber returned to TOWIE earlier this month to confront Dan, who admitted he had slept with Chloe Sims just days after he begged her to get back with him.
‘Oh wow,’ fellow TOWIE star Lauren Pope commented, while her Strictly partner Matt Evers said, ‘Beautiful!’
‘Never comment on any of your posts. But have to say this is probably one of your best,’ wrote a third, while another simply wrote, ‘slaying!’
Over on her stories, she shared a video of people in the street shouting out ‘The GC!’ as she drove past in her taxi.
‘Guys, the GC is back in town… business as usual,’ Gem said. ‘Pulled up to the traffic lights and people start chanting ‘The GC’. The British public are glad I’m back in the UK!’
The reality TV star recently flew out to LA as she tries to kickstart her career stateside. According to reports, things are looking good because she’s just signed with a top US agent.
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old recently revealed how she shed two and a half stone, saying it was largely down to adopting a vegan eating regime.
However, the reality TV star’s post was soon met with a huge backlash from her followers who criticised her for encouraging girls to get involved in sex work.
‘Supposed to be a role model to people especially the younger ages that look up at you and you’re advertising sleazy c**p like this? Should be ashamed,’ said someone else.
While another follower added in disbelief, ‘Wow. Things are really getting a bit desperate when you’ll stoop so low as to promote rubbish like this. Running out of money?
‘Career taking a nose-dive? Your 10 minutes of fame coming to an end? What other reasons would there be for such feeble attempts of keeping people’s interest.’
It’s been almost 10 years since the original TOWIE cast first burst onto our TV screens teaching us words like ‘reem’, ‘vajazzle’ and ‘muggy’.
The first-ever series featured the likes of Amy Childs, Billie and Sam Faiers, James Argent, Jess and Mark Wright, Kirk Norcross, Lauren Goodger, Lauren Pope, Lucy Mecklenburgh, Lydia Bright, Maria Fowler and Nanny Pat.
Despite an ever-changing line-up and an impressive 24 series in under its belt, TOWIE still manages to pull in a massive 1 million + viewers.
With its milestone 10th anniversary approaching, let’s take a trip down memory lane to see how the stars of the show have changed over the years…
While most of the original cast have long since quit the series, there are still a few familiar faces on the show. The most notable include Lauren Pope, Gemma Collins and Chloe Sims, though technically Gem and Chloe weren’t a part of the show from the beginning as they only joined in 2011.
TOWIE OG Lauren just recently announced she was quitting the show after nine years to focus on her business and budding romance with millionaire banker boyfriend Tony Keterman.
The ditsy, loveable vajazzle queen left the show in 2011 and went on to appear in Celebrity Big Brother, Channel 4’s The Jump and also landed her own documentary called It’s All About Amy.
On April 2017, she welcomed daughter Polly with ex Bradley Wright. She welcomed a baby boy last September, though little is known about her son’s baby daddy.
It’s thought she’s worth around £5million thanks to her line of fashion and beauty products and her own Essex salon.
Billie joined the second series of TOWIE in 2011 before leaving in 2016 to focus on her family. The 29-year-old recently wed Greg Shepherd, who she’s been with since 2013, in a no expense spared ceremony in the Maldives. They welcomed daughter Nelly in 2014 and son Arthur in March 2017. Apart from The Mummy Diaries, Billie shunned other reality TV gigs to focus on her clothing company Minnies Boutique.
The mum-of-two also has a lucrative line with In The Style.
Sam appeared in the very first episode of TOWIE before leaving in 2014 due to lack of storylines. The same year, she appeared in series 13 of Celebrity Big Brother. In 2016, the 28-year-old secured The Mummy Diaries with ITVBe and Billie joined her on the show the following year. As well as The Mummy Diaries, Sam – who was once engaged to Joey Essex – has a number of fashion collaborations.
When it comes to her love life, Sam has two kids with her partner, property developer and estate agent Paul Knightley. Paul Jnr was born in December 2015 and she welcomed daughter Rosie last year. According to recent reports, Sam is worth a huge £4.2 million.
After dating Lydia Bright, Arg got with Gemma Collins and the stormy pair have been on and off ever since. The singer was one of the longest-serving TOWIE members after appearing in last year’s series despite being briefly booted off the show due to his behaviour. In 2017, Arg checked into a Thai rehab facility for two months after struggling with a number of problems including alcohol and substance abuse.
He’s also appeared in a number of other reality series, including Celebrity Super Spa, Sugar Free Farm, The Jump and All Star Family Fortunes.
Jess, who used to date fellow TOWIE star Ricky Rayment, quit the show in 2016 to focus on her own ventures, including a fitness DVD and fake eyelash line. She briefly dated Strictly Come Dancing’s Giovanni Pernice, but is now all loved up with businessman William Lee-Kemp, who is a good friend of her brother Mark. Jess also recently splashed out on a £1.25 million pad in Chigwell, Essex, which was one of four houses Mark converted.
One of the most successful original cast members, Marks’s time in TOWIE led him on a lucrative journey to become a TV presenter in Hollywood. Before jetting off to LA, Mark, who dated Lauren Goodger, Lucy Mecklenburgh and Sam Faiers, took part in the 2011 series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and the 2015 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
He also presented Take Me Out: The Gossip. After returning from LA in early 2019 after almost two years away, he’s now focusing on other TV projects and catching up on lost time with wife Michelle Keegan, who he wed in May 2015. Speaking recently about starting a family, Mark said looking forward to having kids in the future though they’re not in any rush. Mark is thought to be worth around £4 million.
Following his time on TOWIE ,Kirk took a step away from the spotlight and is now working laying BT cables. ‘When I was on Towie I was known everywhere I went. I used to buy £70,000 Ferarris, £20,000 watches and £500 jeans — now I’m happy with a £20 pair from Topman,’ he told The Sun earlier this year.
He admitted he blew £300,000 in a single year after finding instant fame on the show. Kirk now has two children, Harry, two, and Violett, three, with girlfriend Dani Carr.
Once famously engaged to Mark Wright, original TOWIE star Lauren left the show in 2012 only to return in 2016 to become a regular again. Lauren has launched her own range of tanning products, lashes and hair extensions under the name of Lauren’s Way. Like so many of her co-stars, she appeared in a number of other reality shows, including Dancing On Ice, In Therapy, Celebrity Big Brother and Celebs Go Dating. In 2016, Lauren started dating Joey Morrison but they later split amid claims he sent X-rated snaps to other women from his prison cell. Lauren has an estimated net worth of £2.1 million.
Lauren began her career as a DJ and went on to launch her hugely successful Hair Rehab business. Over the course of the show, Lauren dated a number of her fellow TOWIE stars, including Jon Clark, Kirk Norcross and Dan Edgar. Earlier this year she announced she was quitting TOWIE after nine years to focus on work and her relationship with banker boyfriend Tony Keterman.
Lucy was a TOWIE series regular for three years before quitting to focus on her fitness brand Results With Lucy. She followed up her time on the ITVBe show with appearances on Tour De Celeb and BBC’s Tumble. Last month, Lucy got engaged to former Corrie star Ryan Thomas, who she met while filming Bear Grylls’ TV series Celebrity Island, during a romantic trip to Italy. She previously dated Mark Wright, Mario Falcone and gymnast Louis Smith.
Lydia and Arg split for good in 2016 after dating on and off for seven years. In 2016, Lydia appeared on The Jump and in summer 2017 she took part in Channel 4’s rebooted Crystal Maze. Lydia, who also dated ex-TOWIE star Tom Kilbey, runs online fashion brand Bella Sorella with her sister and also recently launched her own podcast series with her family. She met current boyfriend Lee Cronin in a club in Ibiza in 2017 and they bought a house together the following year. After a brief split earlier this year, they’re now back together and stronger than ever.
After quitting the show, Maria – who once shared a flat with Lauren Pope – launched a home renovation company called Project In A Village. She’s also a trained make-up artist and the managing director of Fierce Face makeup. In September 2016, Maria welcomed a baby daughter with partner Kelvin Bate. The pair are due to wed this year.
Nanny Pat
Much-loved Nanny Pat, who was the grandmother of cast members Mark and Jessica Wright and mother to Carol Wright, was famous for her sausage plaits and funny one-liners. Nanny Pat sadly died in 2015 just weeks after celebrating her 80th birthday on the ITVBe show.
Series 24: TOWIE newbies and TOWIE cast regulars
A fresh batch of stars joined the 2019 line-up, including the likes of hunky footballer Harry Lee, personal trainer Tom McDonnell, 20-year-old model Jayden Beales, 18-year-old blonde bombshell Kelsey Stratford and mum and daughter duo, Chloe and Clare Brockett.
The series also saw the welcome return of regulars Georgia Kousoulou, who first joined the show in 2014, and boyfriend Tommy Mallett. While most TOWIE romances crashed and burned, the pair have been in a relationship for four years.
Hunky Dan Edgar, who joined the series in 2015, was also back for series 24, for explosive scenes with Chloe Sims, who has been on the show since the second series.

Gemma Collins has revealed that her three-stone weight loss isn’t strictly down to a healthier lifestyle.
The former TOWIE star has confessed that she has been using the slimming injections Skinnyjab to help curb her appetite.
‘I went on the jabs and that has been really good for me,’ she told the Sunday People.
‘You get injected basically and it curbs your appetite as well so it is handy when you are busy and on the road.
‘I definitely feel much better since losing weight and I have got more energy and stuff. When you eat rubbish food, you feel rubbish and when you eat healthy, it’s a lot better.’
Gemma previously hinted that her slimmer physique was down to a vegan diet and sessions in the gym, claiming she ‘doesn’t know why she’s overweight’ because she doesn’t eat much.
‘I actually don’t know why I am overweight because I don’t eat a lot,’ she told The Sun.
‘My downfall is that I eat late of a night. I can go all day without food. I normally get hungry at two o’clock in the afternoon.
Cooking up dinner in the evening, Gemma says a typical meal could be chicken curry.
Detailing how she keeps her portion size at bay, she explained: ‘I stick two curry sauces in and then basically I leave it all day in the fridge. I like curry and salad. I would rather have salad than a potato. I might have a spoonful of rice and I have more chicken than sauce.’
Whether it’s her diet or a little helping hand – we still think Gemma looks great!
The couple showed off their beautiful matching rings on Instagram after attending a secret engagement party organised by his cousin and former co-star Amy Childs.
She said: ‘He is getting married! Congratulations to my beautiful cousin and @mrdeanrowland on your engagement, 8 weeks of knowing and organising the best engagement party for him! Thank you so much for everyone who come.’
Amy then shared a sweet snap of Harry holding her daughter Polly as he and Dean celebrated their happy news.
Captioning the adorable phot, Amy added: ‘Can’t wait for Polly to be bridesmaid.
‘You both make me so happy, thank you for making me apart of your day. Thank you so much @lightswithgrace for your light up letters and flowerwall And of course the amazing Ballons by @theballoonsquadevents was amazing!’
Dean popped the question to Harry in front of his family and friends, including Frankie Essex, Chloe Sim’s sister Frankie Sims, The X Factor’s Tracy Leanne and TOWIE newbie Harry Lee.
After being led into the shindig blindfolded, Harry and Dean celebrated with their pals with some posh cocktails, their own private bar and a DJ! Our invite must have been lost in the post…
And if that weren’t enough, Lydia, 29, has now revealed their babies are due just five days apart.
Sharing a picture of herself and Lucy at Lucy’s 28th birthday party, pressing their baby bumps against each other, Lydia – who has previously said her first child is due in February 2020 – wrote, ‘We have experienced a lot together but I have a feeling this is going to be our favourite adventure #5DaysApart #DoubleTrouble.’
She added: ‘Wohooooooooo, we can finally scream it from the roof tops. Can’t wait for our babies to be best friends ‘
And then Lucy shared a snap of Lydia and her at Lydia’s mum Debbie’s wedding to her partner of 40 years, Dave Bright – which Lydia was a bridesmaid at.
She added. ‘Beautiful Bridesmaid. On one of the most exciting journeys of our lives together.’
Lucy has been showing off her baby bump on Instagram, after revealing her and her fiance Ryan Thomas‘ exciting news last month, and she’s confessed she’s ‘starting to fall in love with & embrace my new, ever changing… ever expanding body.’
Sharing a snap of herself in a bikini, she wrote, ‘I’m in awe of what my body is doing, creating another human! Yes 1 human I was worried with how big I got very quickly it was twins haha!’
She continued, ‘Fr the first time I feel content in myself and how I view my body. It feels like as soon as I became pregnant my priorities changed and I must admit this is definitely for the better.
‘My journey hasn’t been plain sailing the 1st 3 months have been pretty brutal and quite lonely as you can’t really talk about it & feel like your lying to everyone constantly.’
Kate Wright's career is going from strenght to strength after she just announced she's dropping a new clothing range for Very.
Kate Wright
The 27-year-old former reality star, who is engaged to former footballer Rio Ferdinand, stepped down from The Only Way is Essex to focus on her relationship and being a mum to Rio’s children Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11, and Tia aged eight.
Following on from a succesful first collaboration with Very, Kate is about to release a new drop.

This book venture which will be released right after Christmas, will be an insight into how Kate manages to stay healthy and in shape.

Lydia Bright has shared a sweet pregnancy update with fans but is still yet to reveal the gender.
Taking to Instagram, the TOWIE star shared an ultrasound video of her unborn baby seemingly waving.
The thrilled mum-to-be, who is expecting her first child with ex boyfriend Lee Cronin, wrote ‘just wanted to say hello to the world’ along with a waving emoji.
Lydia, who is due in February, also shared two more images on her Instagram stories.
‘I love you so much already. It hurts my heart,’ she wrote next to one of the images, while the 29-year-old cooed over her unborn baby’s tiny foot in a second.
Lydia’s celebrity pals soon flooded the sweet clip with comments, including one from former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger who wrote: ‘Omg. so happy for you.’
Lydia’s mum Debbie shared: ‘To say I am bursting with joy, I’m over the moon. I’m exploding with happiness I’m going to be a nanny.’
While Denise Van Outen shared: ‘Aww we can’t wait to meet you baby Bright.’
Last month Lydia revealed she was expecting her first child with Lee – but also told fans they had sadly split.
Speaking to Hello! magazine, she said: ‘It’s been so hard keeping this a secret .
‘I’ve done so much travelling, I’ve done all my partying holidays, I’m where I want to be in terms of my life, financially and career-wise. It just feels like the right time for it all to happen for me.
‘I’m not closing the door on it completely, but I feel like I just keep getting knocked back. I can’t beg somebody to be with me, and I can’t beg somebody to love me.
‘I know this baby will be the best thing that has ever happened to me.’
She went on: ‘It’s not the ideal situation. I waited quite a long time to try for a baby, waited until I thought it was perfect.’
Lydia and Lee met in 2017 while holidaying in Ibiza and moved in together shortly after.
From TOWIE lothario to devoted family man, life couldn’t be more different for Mario Falcone these days.
The 31-year-old and his fiancée Becky Miesner welcomed baby boy Parker Jax in November last year, and he’s been keeping fans up to date with his journey as a first time dad on social media.
Alongside one of him holding Parker up, Mario wrote, ‘Nothing else matters anymore.’ And, next to a series of the little one getting messy with lunch, he joked, ‘Think he enjoyed it.’
Mario and Becky – who runs a beauty salon in Brentwood – have also been sharing their tips for travelling with a baby.
In an IGTV clip, Mario admitted he’s happy to let Becky plan ahead when it comes to keeping Parker entertained while going through security at the airport and during the flight.
But while it may seem like Mario and Becky have parenthood all worked out, he recently confessed that being a stay at home dad can be lonely.
Mario, who stays at home three days a week with Parker while Becky is at work, told OK!, ‘I take my hat off to any mum or dad who stays at home with their kids because it’s more intense and lonely than going to work.’
And they’re not the only reality stars set to take part.
Former The Only Way Is Essex star Megan McKenna will be appearing in the unders category, along with Glee actor Kevin McHale and Love Actually actress Olivia Olsen.
And in the overs category, viewers will see chat show presenter Ricki Lake take the stage along with British journalist Martin Bashir.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star took to Instagram to share a sweet image of the pair following their lavish Turkey wedding.
Taking to her Instagram page, which she has already changed from Kate Wright to Kate Ferdinand, the TV star posted an adorable snap of her and new husband Rio in the gym together.
The newlywed couple are known for working out together regularly, usually taking to social media to share with fans their antics in the gym.
In her newest snap, Kate reveals that on going to the gym she was met with sweet blown-up silver balloons reading ‘Mr & Mrs’, captioning the post: ‘Nice little surprise in the gym this morning …. the workouts continue #itsalifestyle ’.
Fans loved the sweet post, with comments including: ‘Ahhh love this!! ’, ‘Oh the name change too congratulations to you both’ and ‘Congratulations again beautiful couple..’.
This comes after footballer Rio revealed that the pair were not currently on their honeymoon because of work commitments.
Appearing in the BT Sport studio in his role as football pundit, the Manchester United legend attended yesterday’s game between Tottenham Hotspur and German team Bayern Munich.
While on the panel, the newlywed was asked by Gary Lineker why he wasn’t away with his new wife.
Kate and Rio tied the knot over the weekend in a gorgeous Turkey ceremony, surrounded by friends and family, including Rio’s three children who he shares with his late wife Rebecca Ellison.
“Having the boys walk me down the aisle was just amazing,” gushed the former TOWIE star to OK! Magazine.
“It was a hugely important moment for me and they did so well,” with Rio adding, “We’ve become a proper family unit now. I’m just so happy we’re all as one.”
