Billie Shepherd has admitted to feeling mum guilt as she attempted to juggle her bustling work life while maintaining her family of five.The former TOWIE star, who sprung onto UK screens back in 2010 alongside fan favourites like Joey Essex, Gemma Collins and Lauren Goodger, is quite the busy bee nowadays despite leaving the ITV reality show back in 2016. While filming her ITVBe reality series, Billie and Greg: The Family Diaries, Billie also works with her sister Samantha Faiers on their podcast, The Sam & Billie Show, and is often pictured at various star-studded events across the nation.
Outside of work, Billie is married to Greg Shepherd, 38, and they have three kids, Nellie, eight, Arthur, six, and four-month-old Margot. But maintaining such an intense lifestyle is never easy, and Billie has now admitted to feeling guilty over the balance between her professional and private lives.
Speaking to The Sun about Disney’s The Wonder of Play campaign, Billie said that “mum guilt” is definitely a thing. "It's definitely something that I've had over the years, and yes I feel like sometimes it is down to work,” she said, noting how her younger kids ask why she’s got to work.
She explained: "We're so open and honest with the kids, and I think that you do just have to be honest, and that is why we're working. It's ultimately so that, you know, we can have a nice life and it's all for them.
