Billie Faiers reveals she hired a private chef to cook Christmas dinner at £1.4m mansion
BILLIE Faiers had a no expense spared Christmas after she hired a private chef to cook for her family.
The reality star, 34, splashed out on a luxury catering from an Essex based company for the festive day.
In a bid to have a stress free Christmas and avoid lifting a finger in the kitchen, Billie hired a dining service called Mark Wright’s Private Chef – not to be mistaken for the TV personality.
The mum-of-three was able to put her feet up, while the chef cooked Christmas dinner at her £1.4m mansion.
Billie, who is mum to daughter Nelly, 10, son Arthur, six, and daughter Margot, two, spent the morning glamming up in burgundy dress.
She shared snaps from the day, including a picture of her beautifully decorated living room with tables with red bows and gold crackers.
Billie was also seen beaming alongside her nan and granddad, before they tucked into the delicious meal.
They were treated to roast beef and chicken with all the trimmings including Yorkshire puddings and cauliflower cheese.
And they finished off the meal with a cheese board, mince pies, a selection of cakes and Christmas pudding.
Chef Mark shared a smiling photo with Billie, Greg and her mum Suzanne Wells after the dinner.
He wrote: “A wonderful Christmas Day with Billie, Greg and their lovely family, thanks for choosing me to cook for you on such a special day.”
It comes after Billie was last month slammed for ‘flaunting her wealth’ after revealing her stunning Christmas decorations.
The former Towie star took to Instagram to show off her family home in time for the festive season.
Billie and Greg – who bought the four-bed 1920s property back in January 2020 – transformed the front door with a huge display.
There is a fir branches with red baubles and ribbons in front of the entrance.
The door also has a matching wreath placed on the handle.
Billie said: “Christmas at the Shepherd house has officially begun.”
But some followers were unimpressed with the post.
One said: “That is just utter shoeing off. Instead of doing an easy 6km bike ride for charity then going on a free cruise for a week. The money you have spent on Xmas decorations donate the entire amount to the charity you did the bike ride for.”
Another added: “Always gifted”
“How much did that cost ? let me guess, free,” a third wrote.
The family regularly show off their amazing home on their ITV series The Family Diaries.
However back in September The Sun revealed that Billie had quit the show after six years.
It comes just three years after sister and fellow ex-Towie star Sam, 33, left their popular show The Mummy Diaries after nine successful series.
A source said: “Billie has loved her time on the show and had loads of fun, but thinks it’s time she let her kids grow up away from the cameras for a bit.
“She adores the memories she has made and will treasure them forever, she’s so grateful to the production company, but is excited about exploring new options with ITV.
“There is no bad blood and the sky is the limit.”
An ITV spokesman said: “We are currently in production with a new series of The Family Diaries to air on ITVX and ITVBe later this year and are in conversations with Billie about projects for 2025.”
The Family Diaries wrapped up last month.
