Billie Faiers and Greg Shepherd throw lavish circus-themed party for Nelly's 5th birthday

Billie Faiers and Greg Shepherd staged a lavish Greatest Showman-themed party for their daughter Nelly's 5th birthday.

The couple, who star together in reality show The Mummy Diaries, pulled out all the stops to give Nelly her very own circus - complete with a big top.

Dozens of little Nelly's pals and Billie and Greg's famous mates attended the expensive-looking bash at Old MacDonald's Farm in Brentwood, Essex, on Saturday.

Billie and Greg, who recently married, took to Instagram to show off the fun event as they hung out with the likes of Rochelle Humes, Ferne McCann and Billie's sister Sam.

Nelly turns five next week but kicked off her celebrations early with her parents and little brother Arthur, two.

The family posed together for an adorable picture, with Nelly's huge five-tier birthday cake, topped with an edible elephant.

One picture shows a huge pink and white tent with a sign reading "Nelly's circus" hanging on the front.

A giant elephant statue stood on one side of the entrance, and a lion on the other, and balloons were scattered everywhere.

Banners reading "Welcome to Nelly's greatest show" stood on either side of the entrance to the tent, which was filled with plenty of goodies and fun activities.

Popcorn, candy floss and plenty of sweet treats were on offer for party guests, as well as flowing prosecco for the adults.

Nelly got stuck right in, posing up by the candy floss machine and biting into a huge bit bigger than her head.

"When Candy Floss is LIFE," Billie joked as she shared the snap with her fans.

Two long tables with placemates, popcorn and pressies were lined up inside on either side of the tent, ready for guests to make the most of the day out.

Sam held one year-old daughter Rosie in her arms as she posed for a sweet snap outside the tent.

The former TOWIE star wore a linen blazer and shorts set with a white vest and trainers for the sun-soaked outdoor party.

Proud mum Billie wore a cute pink playsuit and white trainers, while Greg opted for light-coloured chinos and a short-sleeved shirt.

Birthday girl Nelly was pretty as a picture in a cute denim playsuit decorated with a pink design, while Arthur kept it cool in red shorts and a navy blue T-shirt.

The picture-perfect family looked happy as can be as they celebrated the special day.
