TERRIFIED Billie Faiers broke down in tears after sister Sam gave her a helicopter ride over New York as a birthday present.
The 29-year-old Towie star revealed that her 30-year-old sister was horrified by the gift and started sobbing because she was scared.
Sam posted a picture of her sibling weeping with her head in her hands on Instagram, explaining: "Ok so for @billiefaiersofficial final birthday surprise I booked a helicopter ride to see New York.
"Unfortunately we didn't make it. Billie is crying here because she doesn't want to do it. Poor sis, she said she was scared. My mission this year is to get her to get [over] her fear."
The sisters are in New York with mum Suzie Wells to mark Billie's milestone birthday earlier this month.
Sam later revealed they were taking a form of transport that didn't involve whizzing through the sky, telling followers: "We are now going to be going on the ferry to see a bit of New York."
Pointing out she would have preferred to be on a helicopter, she posted a picture of a chopper in the skies above New York, saying: "Could have been us."
The family have had an eventful trip, which began with Billie lashing out at British Airways staff on social media after being asked to keep the noise down on their First Class flight out there.
She branded one member of staff a "fun sucker" asking: "Please honey, are we not even allowed to laugh these days?"
They later came under fire for taking a horse and cart ride of New York, with one follower insisting: "This is animal cruelty."
