Just last month Billie spoke to OK! about life as a mum to Margot as well as her older siblings Nelly, 10, and Arthur, seven. “I think it’s fun watching their personalities develop, and how they are around other people always intrigues me. Nelly’s becoming like a real little young lady now, and I love watching her chat with adults and be confident,” she said.
And when asked about how she and husband Greg keep the spark alive while navigating parenthood, she added: “I think it’s really important to have things to look forward to. I’m the organiser for life and kids, and Greg’s really good at planning dates and holidays. Even if it’s just a date night at a local restaurant, you do need that time, otherwise life becomes very repetitive.”
