How Billie Faiers hid her third pregnancy – from baggy tops to clever Instagram tricks
SHE has just announced she is expecting her third child with husband Greg Shepherd – leaving her fans gobsmacked.
Billie Faiers has managed to keep everyone in the dark about her latest pregnancy thanks to a series of clever tricks both on the red carpet and on social media.
Just a few days ago, the 32-year-old attended the star-studded British Soap Awards and even presented an award on stage – but viewers were none the wiser.
She kept her growing bump firmly hidden wearing a pink dress with a ruffled skirt.
On her social media, she swapped her usual tight clothes for more loosing fitting leisure wear sets and often cropped her snaps so nothing was given away.
And making sure she didn’t raise any suspicion, Billie was even seen posing with a glass of champagne as they attended a pal’s wedding recently.

Billie announced the pregnancy today on Instagram with a sweet snap of her family on holiday.
Her seven-year-old daughter Nelly kissed her growing baby bump as they stood alongside Greg and son Arthur, four.
Billie said: "Baby number 3 we can’t wait to meet you … ☺️❤️ We are so happy and excited ✨."
Her sister Sam - who recently gave birth to her third child - said: "Welcome to the 5 club sis. I’m so so happy for you all. Another beautiful baby to join our family.”

Last year Billie told The Sun she wondered whether she missed a trick not trying to get pregnant during the pandemic.
She said: “Part of me thinks, ‘God, we should have just done it last year’ as it has been a bit of a mad year anyway. We are at the point now where we actually do need to make a decision because I don’t want to have a huge gap for the kids.
“I always say to Greg if we have three we may as well have four, and just do one after the other, and then it’s done - if we have another little one, they might need another little brother or sister as well.”
But Billie also admitted, with life getting easier as Nelly and Arthur getting older, it can be hard to imagine going back to the baby stage.
She said: “Sometimes Greg looks at me and goes, ‘Are you really going to have another baby?’ "
