Billie Shepherd knows full well her life can look “perfect” from the outside, but she’s never scared to share what’s really going on.
Take today’s exclusive photoshoot for OK!, for example. The mum-of-three, whose youngest Margot turned one in December, has just finished juggling a full day working with the crew, while tending to Arthur, who is feeling under the weather.
“It’s been a long day but it is what it is,” Billie, 34, laughs, as she finally grabs a glass of water post-shoot.
Billie’s daily juggle with her husband Greg, 39, and their three children – Nelly, nine, Arthur, seven, and their littlest Margot, 16 months – is laid bare every week on their ITVBe show, Billie & Greg: The Family Diaries.
In the most recent series, we saw the family settle into their stunning new home, which took “a lot of time and decisions” (something “I don’t think I’d ever do again”), and today, OK! is getting a tour of the renovated home.
Given all she’s got going on, does she actually have the time to enjoy the space now? “It’s really funny actually, because last night when everyone was in bed I was downstairs on my own, without the TV on or anything, just pottering and tidying things up for today.
“I was walking around and it was quiet, and I don’t know what it was but I had a moment. It sounds really sad but I just thought, ‘Oh my God we actually made it, we did this.’ Life is so busy and fast-paced at the moment that I don’t have many moments to myself like that.
