Sam & Billie - The Mummy Diaries

[DBoo]

Omg Gaynor is an MNetter. Hello Gaynor 😁.

Just watching this now. First of all makes me mega broody!!! Secondly I really like Billie and Gregg, seem really down to earth and I know others probably won't agree but I quite like big Paul and think he's just not up for the fame thing.

Anyone else watching?

Wow I didn't expect them to be worth that much.

In all fairness to Sam when it showed allbitslondon this week it has come on leaps and bounds since the last series when they were running it out of a spare room.

I just looked on the AllBits website and am gobsmacked at the prices of items! It's New Look style clothing at 3 times the price! I guess people pay those prices because Sam models the clothes and they want to be like her.

I'm sticking up for Big Paul again! I think they're editing it to enhance the awkwardness between him and Sam this season, like when she was asking him where he wanted to go on holiday and he was all like 'whatever book where you want'. But he seems more relaxed in the VTs this series. I'm really going off Sam though. She came across quite natural and relaxed before but she's doing my head in with forcing stuff on baby Paul.

I don't mind big Paul, he seems ok, and as if he gets a bit irritated with the whole TV 'thing'

I much as I can't stand Big Paul he does seem to step in when it all gets ridiculous for Baby Paul and calms him down. Also he was right about doing the photo shoot before Paul's nap otherwise he gets too tired and grouchy.

I know it's edited like mad but has anyone else picked up on how little Big Paul interacts with Rosie?

I think big Paul is just being himself and not putting on an act, and probably gets a bit pissed off with all the forced events.

I thought it was so much more natural when they were chasing each other after her training

Sams just trying to be supermum and make out like Paul is s genius... she'll be raging that Nellie did the indoor skydive.. surprised she didnt just throw Paul and Rosie in tbh!

I do think baby Paul is very cute, he's a typical toddler and they do suddenly seem so grown up when you have a new born! But i think Sam and big Paul are trying to get baby Paul to grow up a bit too fast.

I loved when sam looked at the old pics of her and Paul "you were all slim and muscly" she might aswell have just added on the end "not anymore fat boy".

Ha ha yes Mammyloveswine, no surprise he didn't respond to her, who would when their partner says that on TV to them 😂

Having a newborn and a 2 year old is hard work, that's no surprise. They set themselves up for a massive fall by always projecting Baby Paul as a perfect baby etc which I think was mainly luck due to his lovely personality. Then a new baby comes along plus he's only 2 and SURPRISE !!! He's a bit more difficult. If they'd relax on screen and accept it and laugh/deal with it rather than try to keep up appearances and Sam with the fixed manic grin then I'd have some respect for them. Unfortunately for Sam, Billie & Greg and their family are stealing the show just by being relatively normal. Billie goes on an amazing holiday and suddenly Sam wants to as well ...

I'm definitely not a Paul fan but I think he does have a sweet side to him, when he posts photos on his instagram of Sam and the babies I do like the caption he uses for them.

@PaddysMarket me too, I also love that he only follows her! Love the name by the way......best market ever!!! 😁

Ahh just looked at big Paul's insta, how cute!! I think he's just a bit shy and uncomfortable on camera.

He only follows her on Insta and has very cute captions.
Totally his doing!

Just watched all of this recent series on catch up
Loving Billie and Greg , they seem so natural and genuinely get along / smiley happy
Sam and Big Paul seem like zero spark or connection , she tries so so hard to get him to engage but I think having billlie and Greg featuring really shows how different their relationship is ...
I thought it was really bad that she lets baby Paul hit her in the face and neck when he was getting tired
That starts out small but how is she going to handle a larger 3/4 year old doing that
I was sitting watching it saying out loud “ tell him no that’s naughty “

I do absolutely love both girls hair and make up in the interview scenes
Love their outfits - I even admit to looking up Minnie’s boutique online to have a nosey at their clothing

TBF he only follows Sam on Twitter as well, no one else

I came accross some photos online of Gregs 30th Birthday party in 2015.

So according to those he is 33 now.

I think her house is rented
www.onthemarket.com/details/3238575/

£5000 a month

Does anyone else think her house is really impersonal like plain and not decorated by her? I feel like they don't put their stamp on anywhere they live...

Yes tbh that would match in with it being rented wouldnt it?

We went and ours is some sort of beige throughout and ll doesnt really want us decorating so we jusy live with it.

I wonder if they read this thread lol?

The twitter charlotte crosby fiasco developed i saw today with charlotte apologising to ferne for asking her to tweet lol. Awkward. Billie and charlotte both have lines with in the style. Wonder if theres any animosity there?

I know what you mean, Sassenach. The house, although large and beautiful, just seems really soul-less and sparse inside.

I've had a look at Gregs 30th, 33 does make more sense than 43 😂.

Sams house that she sold was all white too, she needs to hire Dawn Ward from RHOC for interior design.

I wonder if part of the deal with ITVBe is the rental of that house? It certainly looks temporary inside, bare, functional and no pictures on the walls etc.

Spending that amount on rent is a very silly financial decision by them, they are at peak earning power and should be investing their capital in a property. I think they will be quietly moving at some point....

Billie's house has been nicely finished. I remember it in the TOWIE days, much bigger inside than it looks from the outside.

That's a good point OneInAMillion, the TV company could well be paying the rent as part of the package for appearing on the show.

The TV company may be paying all this for Sam, and we all want to see Greg and Billie
