Most people meet Billie Faiers the way reality TV first served her up: as the calmer Faiers sister, the one who kept her head while the camera rolled. More than a decade after TOWIE, she is now Billie Shepherd on the credits, a mother of two, and a businesswoman with a fashion portfolio. Her starting point — 15 January 1990 in Brentwood, Essex — is one of the few dates every biography agrees on (Heart (UK entertainment broadcaster)), and this page sorts the documented story from the celebrity noise that still surrounds it.

Quick snapshot
- Born 15 January 1990 in Brentwood, Essex (Heart)

- Two daughters with Greg Shepherd: Nellie and Margot (Heart)
- Exact birth dates for Nellie and Margot are not in the public record reviewed here
- Details of Margot’s health incident have not been confirmed by the family
- 2010: first appeared on TOWIE (Heart)
- 2016: reported TOWIE exit, after roughly five years on the show (Closer (entertainment magazine))

- Family-led TV continues under The Family Diaries (Closer)
Six rows, one pattern: the public basics are stable, and the only row that really moves is the money estimate — with biographical details drawn from Heart (UK entertainment broadcaster) and the net-worth figure from Briefing Room (celebrity blog).
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Full name | Billie Faiers, also known professionally as Billie Shepherd |
| Date of birth | 15 January 1990 |
| Age | 36 (as of 2026, per Heart) |
| Spouse | Greg Shepherd |
| Children | Nellie and Margot |
| Net worth | $4 million (estimated) |
The takeaway: everything above the net-worth row is public and checkable; the bottom row is a working estimate, and that distinction repeats throughout the rest of this profile.
How old was Billie Faiers when she had Nellie?
The direct answer is that no date-stamped source in the reporting reviewed here confirms Nellie’s birth date, so any age you see in search results is an estimate, not a documented fact. What is documented is the relationship timeline that leads to Nellie’s arrival: Billie met Greg Shepherd in 2011, while she was already a TOWIE cast member (Heart).
The couple became engaged in 2014 during a trip to the Maldives (Heart), and their two daughters are Nellie and Margot (Heart). If you are trying to do the birth-age math yourself, the missing variable is the date — and celebrity databases do not agree on it.
- 2011 — Billie and Greg meet, with Billie already on TOWIE
- 2014 — engagement in the Maldives
- Nellie and Margot — the couple’s two daughters
Why the question keeps ranking: fans want to match the public pregnancy storyline to a calendar date, but the family’s announcements chose moments over dates. The pattern: the relationship timeline is public, the children’s exact birthday records are private — and those two things are not in conflict.
What happened to Billie Faiers’ daughter Margot?
This is the search question that carries the most emotional weight, and it deserves a precise answer: the sources we reviewed do not contain details of a specific health incident involving Margot. The question keeps appearing because a family health scare was covered by celebrity outlets, but the reporting here is thin, and the family has not published a detailed medical account.
What is confirmed is simpler: Margot is Billie’s second daughter with Greg Shepherd (Heart), and she is part of the family unit that anchors Billie’s current identity on and off screen. The rest of the story, as far as the public record shows, has been kept deliberately quiet.
A search for a child’s health incident is exactly where a low-confidence celebrity story does the most damage. Without a named source, a screenshot of a headline is not evidence.
Why this matters: the Faiers brand has traded on “real life,” which makes the silence here meaningful. What stays off-camera is as deliberate as what goes on it.
Is Ferne McCann friends with Billie?
The honest answer is that no source in the research confirms a current friendship — or a current falling-out — between Ferne McCann and Billie. The question keeps ranking because both names belong to the same TOWIE-era moment, and neither woman has closed the subject in a way that settled it for fans.
What the record does show: Billie and Sam Faiers were core TOWIE cast members from 2010 (Heart), and the show’s friendships shifted with each series. Everything beyond that is fan interpretation.
Until one of them says something on record, “friends with” is a search term, not a documented status.
Is Ferne McCann still friends with Sam Faiers?
- Sam Faiers was born in December 1990, making her the younger sister (Heart)
- Both sisters moved from TOWIE to The Mummy Diaries and later The Family Diaries (Heart)
- No verified statement in the reviewed sources documents Sam’s current relationship with Ferne
There is a pattern in how cast-friendship questions age: the show documents who appeared together, not who texts on a Tuesday night. The farther a friendship question gets from an on-screen moment, the thinner the evidence gets.
What this means for readers: treat “still friends?” claims as speculation unless they come with an interview, a photo dated on both sides’ accounts, or a direct quote.
Did Mark Wright and Sam Faiers date?
Anyone who watched the early TOWIE years remembers the Mark Wright and Sam Faiers relationship as one of the show’s defining couple arcs. The precise dating timeline, however, lives in anniversary recaps and fan timelines rather than in the sources reviewed here.
Here is what the record does document: the Faiers sisters were on TOWIE from 2010, when the show made cast relationships its main currency (Heart).
- 2010 — first TOWIE appearance (Heart)
- Second series — the entry point other outlets describe (Closer)
- 2016 — reported departure from the show (Closer)
The Mark Wright–Sam question is best answered as remembered TV history: widely repeated, but without a dated primary interview in the reporting we reviewed. For a reader, that distinction matters more than the gossip version.
What this means: “they dated” is safe as a cultural memory; “they broke up on this date” is not something our sources can verify.
Did Sam Faiers date Joey Essex?
The Joey Essex question belongs in the same category: repeated enough to feel like fact, but without a verified date-stamped source in the reporting reviewed here.
If you are reconstructing Sam’s dating history for a timeline, the honest move is to list the confirmed TOWIE-era context and mark individual relationships as “not sourced” until a primary interview or archive appears.
The trade-off: fans get a less satisfying timeline, but they do not get one built from memory dressed up as record.
Are Ferne McCann’s parents still together?
On the evidence reviewed here, the current status of Ferne McCann’s parents is simply not confirmed. It is a question celebrity coverage has raised repeatedly, but the family has not issued a statement that the sources used here can anchor.
This is also the moment to note what the research does not contain: no verified details on Billie’s own parents either, beyond the public fact that she and Sam were raised together and became a sister act on reality TV (Heart).
- Billie and Sam appeared on TOWIE together
- Parent details for both families are absent from the sources reviewed
- Family-status questions are treated as unresolved in the research reviewed here
The pattern: when a family question has no public filing and no family statement, the only responsible answer is “we don’t know” — and any source that answers it confidently is guessing.
Does Arthur Collins see his daughter?
A question about a child’s contact arrangements touches custody privacy. The responsible editorial answer is that contact arrangements are not public record unless a court has made them so.
The same standard applies here: no source in the research confirms current contact arrangements, and treating this as entertainment content would be the wrong call.
Why this matters: the people affected by this question are real, and the cost of a confident wrong answer lands on them, not on the search result.
How old is Ferne McCann’s daughter on Sunday?
The phrase looks odd because “Sunday” is doing double duty: it is both the question’s time reference and the daughter’s name. The intent is straightforward — ask how old Sunday is — and the accurate answer is that the sources reviewed here do not confirm her birth date.
This is one of those queries where an age calculator on a fan site can change the number every year without a single new fact. It updates because the page updates, not because anyone verified anything.
- No verified birth date for Sunday appears in the research
- No formal family announcement is captured in the sources reviewed here
- Best practice: treat the family’s own channels as the authoritative reference point
Why this matters: for a minor’s private data, the editorial duty is to say “not confirmed” out loud instead of laundering an estimate into print. The same standard applies to Ferne McCann’s net worth, another frequent search: without a named source, a number is just a guess.
What’s confirmed about Billie Faiers
Confirmed facts
All facts in this column are drawn from Heart (UK entertainment broadcaster) unless another source is shown.
- Born 15 January 1990 in Brentwood, Essex
- Older sister of Sam Faiers, born in December 1990
- First appeared on TOWIE in 2010
- Engaged to Greg Shepherd in 2014 in the Maldives
- Two daughters: Nellie and Margot
- Co-founded Minnies Boutique with Sam
What’s unclear
- Exact birth dates for Nellie and Margot
- Details of Margot’s health incident
- Current friendship status with Ferne McCann
- Whether Ferne McCann’s parents are still together
- Sunday’s verified birth date
- Net worth: the $4 million figure is an estimate, not a financial statement (Briefing Room (celebrity blog))
- TOWIE exit year: 2016 in Closer’s reporting (Closer), 2010–2012 in a lower-tier biography (Briefing Room)
The balance here is deliberate: this profile leans on what can be checked and flags what cannot. For a celebrity subject, that is the difference between a biography and a recycling of claims.
What the reporting says
Three sourced summaries capture the public record, and each one lands on the same shift: from cast member to businesswoman and mother.
Heart, the UK entertainment broadcaster, frames Billie’s story in two moves: reality-TV launch, then a professional identity under her married name, Billie Shepherd.
Heart — UK entertainment broadcaster
The Tab, writing more than a decade after TOWIE, reads her career as a product portfolio: Minnies Boutique, George at Asda ranges, and In The Style collections.
Closer dates the TOWIE exit to 2016, roughly five years after she joined during the second series — the timeline most anniversary coverage repeats.
Closer — entertainment magazine
The pattern: none of these outlets describes Billie as a one-note reality star; the consistent emphasis is business and family, with the Faiers name as the thread.
For a fan trying to keep the Faiers story straight, the gap between a verified fact and a repeated claim is the one detail that changes everything — and the family’s own channels will keep setting the record, as they did when the name changed from Faiers to Shepherd. For anyone who writes about or searches the TOWIE era, the choice is clear: anchor to the named sources on this page, or keep repeating a Briefing Room 2012 exit date that stronger reporting does not support.
