“Billie Faiers shared a slew of snaps from her idyllic festive holiday to the Maldives, in the wake of a ‘tough year’ for her family.”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The former TOWIE star, 35, looked jaw-dropping as she cosied up to her husband Greg Shepherd on the beach in their favourite holiday destination, where they tied the knot in an incredible event in 2019.
The pair are joined by their kids, Nelly, 11, Arthur, eight, and Margot, three, for their annual getaway, which comes in the wake of tragedy for Greg, who lost both his father and step-father late last year.
In an accompanying caption, Billie penned: ‘Seeing in the New year in our favourite place in the world… 2025 was a tough year for us as a family, feeling extremely grateful to be here with our friends and family..
‘Wishing everyone a very happy new year, health and happiness.’
Billie looked incredible as she cosied up to her husband while sporting a chic pink bikini, which made the most of her eye-popping cleavage.
She gazed adoringly at Greg, who beamed as he posed with his stunning wife, before the duo enjoyed a dip with their second born.
Back in September, Billie revealed she was ‘utterly heartbroken’ as she shared a sweet tribute to her father-in-law Dave on Instagram after he passed away aged 77.
The TV personality said ‘life will never feel the same’ after ‘suddenly’ losing Dave.
Billie shared a series of sweet family photos of her father-in-law spending time with her and Greg as well as their three children, Nelly, 11, Arthur, eight, and Margot, three.
She wrote: ‘To my wonderful father in law Dave.
‘Losing you so soon has left us all utterly heartbroken, it still doesn’t feel quite real, all of the wonderful times and memories we made together, I have been so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life, a man we all looked up to…
‘I always said you was The Best ! And I meant it ,you truly was the best father in law, dad and granddad we could ever wish for…
‘I will miss laughing with you, dancing with you, our chats, making you endless amounts of tea and coffee, playing all of your games, I adored you, you was kind, happy, thoughtful and fun.
‘Life will never feel the same again, I miss you unconditionally. I love you with all my heart’. Billie’s sister Sam quickly commented: ‘We will miss you Dave❤️ such a wonderful man x’
Greg also shared a sweet tribute to his dad at the time following the sad news, admitting he ‘still had so much more to give.’
In his heartfelt statement, Greg wrote: ‘I’m gutted and heartbroken to be writing this, but this time last week, my dad Dave passed away suddenly. He was 77, but still had so much more to give, and that’s what makes this so hard.
‘From the age of 4, you raised me as your own. You taught me how to be a father, and you made it look simple, you were always present, no matter what…
‘You never missed a birthday, a celebration, or any important moment. You always had time for me and my sisters and grandkids.
‘I hope I can be the kind of man you were, Dad, always smiling, always dancing, the most grateful man you could ever meet, and always there for us.
