Shaughna Phillips reveals boyfriend has been released from prison after serving just 12 months of a nine-year sentence
LOVE Island star Shaughna Phillips has revealed that her jailed boyfriend has been released from prison.
It comes after he served just 12 months of a nine-year sentence.
Shaughna previously begged fans “not to judge” her after Billy Webb, 29, was charged with drug offences.
In September she told fans she’d been with Billy, who she shares daughter Lucia with, for four years.
Now, she’s revealed to her legion of followers that he has been released.
Shaughna, 30, shared a really sweet video with their baby girl as they enjoyed a festive day out visiting Santa Claus.
The Love Island star penned: “If you had told me this time last year, that me and Billy would be taking Lucia to see Santa next Christmas, I probably wouldn’t have let myself believe you
“The best couple of days, this Christmas is going to be so special.”
In the video, Shaughna could be seen cuddling her little one, before following her around with the camera as she explored the festive wonderland.
Her Love Island co-star Demi Jones penned: “I’m so unbelievably happy for you.”
And Towie’s Frankie Sims wrote: “Love this sm.”
Shaughna had previously hinted that she’d be able to spend Christmas with Billy, writing: “Billy should be spending Christmas with us, and we can’t wait.”
Billy was handed a jail term after admitting conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000,
She was pregnant with their daughter Lucia at the time, and he was sentenced to nine years in prison.
And she’s been very open with her fans about the situation.
On her podcast, Oh, Baby with Shaughna and Holly, she said earlier this year: “It’s the most gut-wrenching position to be in.
“And, I mean, before I even answer this question, I want to just put it out there that you can judge me all you want, but please don’t let me know, because I feel like unless you’ve been in this position you can’t really have an opinion on it.
“Because before I was in this position, before I had a baby, if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison, the answer would be absolutely not. Anyone that does that is crazy.
“And then, lo and behold, I’m now in this position. And I think the thing is, we’re always going to be co-parents.
“And I know that me and my dad had the best relationship ever, and to me, my dad is the best person in the world.
“And I don’t want Lucia to think differently of her father. I would never, ever stop him from seeing her, ever.”
