Furious Shaughna Phillips reveals she walked out of £1,300 Christmas lunch disaster and got pizza instead
LOVE Island star Shaughna Phillips walked out of a lavish £1,300 Christmas lunch after a festive “disaster.”
The pregnant reality star, 28, told how for the “first Christmas of my entire life” she didn’t have roast potatoes – or in fact any trimmings – as the five course feast descended into chaos.
In October, Shaughna surprised fans by revealing she is pregnant.
She is expecting her first child with her mystery boyfriend Billy, who she started dating in April.
Yet her last child-free Christmas was one to remember for all the wrong reasons.
Shaughna told how her family had forked out an £80 deposit each before being forced to wait almost two hours for a starter.
She wrote in her OK! Magazine column how the staff did not know the contents of the meals and failed to provide any accompaniments to the turkey – despite repeated requests.
The reality TV star raged: “The manager eventually came over to ask if everything was okay, I said, ‘No, not really’.
“She began crying. I felt so bad, I told her it’s okay. But of course it wasn’t.
“After seeing a mother and son get up and walk out after waiting half an hour for a bill that never came, we did the same. It was £100 a head and with the drinks, the bill would’ve been £1,300.
“We walked out without paying, we went home hungry.
“I got an email later with apology from the restaurant and my £80 deposit refunded. Billy and I ended up sharing a pizza for dinner that night.”
Shaughna and Billy made their baby reveal earlier this year.
“Our greatest chapter yet…,” she wrote on Instagram.
Shaughna shared a video of her scan, which says ‘Shaughna and Billy’s baby’, on Instagram, and was flooded with congratulatory messages from her celeb pals.
Shaughna’s pregnancy announcement came days after she fainted at the National Television Awards.
Shaughna, meanwhile, has insisted she won’t reveal her boyfriend’s full identity because he wants to stay out of the public eye.
She has told how her baby will be named after her mystery man’s father, should it be a little boy.
Shaughna revealed the heartbreaking reason why she would struggle to call her baby “Eddie”, despite considering it – as it is the name of her late father.
She added: “There’s a few reasons I’m not naming my baby after my dad.
“My dad’s actual name is Edward but everyone called him Eddie, and I just don’t know how OK I would be with saying my dad’s name every day.
“I still struggle with my dad not being here, so I think it would be too much for me. Baby will be Billy Edward if it’s a boy.”
