Billie Faiers fears neighbours at new £1.4m mansion will hate them as hubby Greg threatens pool parties & skinny dipping
BILLIE Faiers has admitted she worries her new neighbours won’t “like us”.
The ex Towie star is preparing to move into her dream home with husband Gregg and kids Nelly, seven, and Arthur, five.
Billie and Greg bought the four-bedroom 1920s property in Brentwood, Essex, for £1.4 million in January 2020.
And Billie, 32, tried to pour cold water over reports of wars with their neighbours, saying: “We haven’t got a problem with any of them”.
But the TV siren admitted the couple have feared they’ll get complaints when they finally move in.
She said: “We thought, ‘We’re going to be moving in there and none of the neighbours are going to like us’.”
Greg even joked that might actually be the case, and during a chat with Vicky Pattison on her podcast The Secret To, he brazenly said: “They won’t like us after the first pool party!”

However, the couple have spent thousands on trees which will shield their pool from prying eyes, and Greg admitted: “That’s just for privacy.
“When we’re skinny dipping, you know what it’s like.”
The pair were subjected to reports of rowdy behaviour at their Maldives wedding in 2019.
Fellow holidaymakers claimed it was “carnage”.
But the couple reckon there were ulterior motives behind the complaints.
Billie said: “We found out there was a couple of people on the island that – not in our party, that were like tourists staying there – but they were selling stories on all of us.

“Most of the venues we’d hired private for all of our events that we’d done on the island, but they were trying to get like upgrades through the hotel and then they were going to the papers. To be honest with you, I think we were so in the moment.”
And Greg: “The favourite article for me was ‘they turned the Maldives into Southend’.”
Cameras have captured their entire move for ITV’s Billie And Gregg The Family Diaries as the couple work towards completing the project.
It’s been a stressful endeavour for the pair, and Greg said he’s not sure he would have taken it on if he was able to go back in time.
Speaking about the new series, Billie said: “The series starts, going back to Christmas time, and Arthur was being a bit challenging, to say the least. He’d got in trouble at school.

“We do share it all, because I think other parents and people that watch the show, they know that life isn’t all roses and sunshine and lovely.
“And we are so open with it and honest and I think that’s probably part of the success of the show, is that people can relate to it.
“Kids do get in trouble, kids do misbehave, and then with Arthur it’s a bit of a journey actually.”
