Her contraception is sleeping in a separate bed room!

She is so desperate to get pregnant again I am sure, Rosie seems to have lost interest in breastfeeding (obviously, she's a walking talking child now!!!) so Sam now needs another baby who feeds constantly so she can stay relevant and feel needed/wanted.

Interesting review on Trip Advisor. Who to believe? Sam and Billie trying to spin their way out of their PR mess or a holidaymaker who has nothing to lose or gain. The comment regarding the nappies is grim but probably true.

They were on 'This Morning' and Philip pressed them very hard on the cost of the wedding, there were some awkward looks between the two of them,as Philip,costed it at £250k+!

No concrete answer from Billie, probably to protect her OK deal!

Whichhouseisbest · 28/03/2019 10:38

I think they are so blinded by how things look, they lost sight of the fact it is a marriage not a wedding party they were planning. All that about Billie's mums dress (who looked fab but looked like she was wearing a wedding dress) needing to sparkle as Billie had a vision of how she would look when the sun was setting... I mean what?!
They seem nice people who are close to their family though. I would like to see a 'Sam and Billie's kids, the teen years' though... see how all this money and being spoiled has worked out for them!

popcorndiva · 28/03/2019 10:41

I don't understand why Sam had to bring along both children to the office and meetings. Why couldn't Paul stay at home with them. Instead she turned the office into a nursery whilst her employees were trying to work

Whichhouseisbest · 28/03/2019 10:47

I know... unpacking new toys for Paul to play with to keep him occupied. Suppose it makes better TV to show how she stuggles like every other mum?!

mrssunshinexxx · 28/03/2019 11:23

The this morning interview was very awkward especially about asking how much it cost!

Hihellohi · 28/03/2019 12:36

Agreed above about Sam taking all the kids to Bristol. What’s the point if Big Paul had to just stay in one room and entertain them? Surely it would have made more sense to keep them at home?
And the drama about forgetting wipes - ok because no other shop outside of London sells baby wipes..
the PA’s face whilst baby Paul was crying in the car seat was funny. The kind of face I make when other people’s kids cry and I don’t really know what I should do.

Sam and billie and the mum all look in amazing physical shape, and Sue did look lovely in the dress but everything with them is just so extra. Why do give gift bags of sunscreen etc? Surely if youve gone so far as the Maldives, you’ll have sunscreen.
Everything with them is an occasion that requires personalised pyjamas!!

Also felt quite teary watching the dad practice his speech!

But yes agreed with above poster, that it is nice to see how close they all are. And gaynor obv really loves Sam - which is nice to see in a MIL/DIL relationship.

ALemonyPea · 28/03/2019 12:41

I reckon ITV told her she needed to have the kids in more day to day life, and doing a photo shoot isn't really something she'd need them around for. Big Paul didn't even leave the office, just stayed there for several ours while Sam modelled.

popcorndiva · 28/03/2019 14:57

Love how there was no mention either of the controversy over her baby clothing range, which came out just before she went to the Maldives over Christmas.

OneInAMillionYou · 28/03/2019 17:21

Did anyone notice that Sam wasn't even wearing her seatbelt in the scene of her driving into London for Sue's dress fitting?
I think she'd slipped it down as you could see the bottom part around her middle.
Now that's stupid in real life anyway, but to do it on film??

I agree with PP, so much of the wedding 'stress' was unnecessary! Personalised flip flops and sun scream? Bloody ridiculous, no one will think any more of them for doing that! If I'm being given a free holiday in the Maldives for a wedding I can bring my own flip flops! 🙄

That Trip Advisor review was very telling.

Ref the Bristol trip, did you notice they slipped into the commentary that they would retain the office there 'for cost reasons'....
So Sam making the drama with their manager was also unnecessary...

I think they could both be very likeable, but for some reason they think their behaviour is necessary for the TV show. Maybe it is, I have no idea. I think the family relationships are watchable and the most genuine thing last night was the father choking up when trying to rehearse his speech!

Strugglingmum73 · 29/03/2019 08:57

I really liked Billie on the last series but this one less so. I can’t get past the massive emphasis on material things constantly. Sam has always seemed like this but Billie less so in the past series. I am sick of all the talk about the wedding now, so boring and it’s like they forgotten about the marriage part like someone else further up the thread said. It’s like a chore to them now they don’t even seem to be getting much joy out of it.

OneInAMillionYou · 29/03/2019 09:01

I wonder if Billie and Greg have done the actual legal marriage ceremony in the UK yet?

3in4years · 30/03/2019 08:33

I couldn't understand the crying over birthday cards.
Or the bubble. Why don't they just sleep under the stars in their garden? It looked so claustrophobic.

SparkofJoy · 30/03/2019 19:31

It made no sense to take the kids and sit in an office,, if they HAD to go then their dad should have taken them to a park or play area. Best thing all around would have been if Pau stayed home other the kids and looked after them without his mum's help like a big boy. Sam forgot the wipes her OH forgot everything else.

SparkofJoy · 30/03/2019 19:35

It wasn't explained why Sam went to the Maldives ahead of her sister's wedding there.

They are working out trying wedding dresses on.it looked like both dresses were in teh changing room.

I'd be fuming to go to the Maldives if a rabble took the resort over.

Marking place Smile

nowifi · 02/04/2019 13:16

Haha they do have personalised pjs for everything. Don't know why they needed to take the kids to Bristol either, that would have been my idea of hell Grin

nowifi · 02/04/2019 13:16

Also how windy was it in that bubble in the Maldives? I would never have been able to sleep in there!

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/04/2019 14:01

I thought the bubble looked a bit cheap!

pansydansy · 02/04/2019 14:13

Are they showing the wedding on tv at all? I'd like to see that.

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/04/2019 14:15

I'm assuming it'll be the last episode but don't know for sure.

Studentnurse1981 · 02/04/2019 20:24

Seriously though guys ? What will their storylines be after billies wedding ? The show is boring as fuck and its run its cause now

nowifi · 02/04/2019 21:27

They will just have another baby to keep it going!

popcorndiva · 02/04/2019 22:12

Greg and Billy are house hunting so that will be the next story line...then Sam will get pregnant again..drama over Baby Paul going to playschool.
