Speaking of her son, Billie moans: "He knows what the potty is and what it's for but he's reluctant to do it."

Greg then pipes up: "Do you think it is confusing Arthur a little bit that I sit down for a wee?"

"You sit down for a wee!?" cries Billie's mum Suzanne Wells.

"It's just easier to sit down. It's more comfortable," explains Greg.

He later tells the camera that his preferred scenario is sitting alone in the toilet with the light off 'to get a bit of peace' from his family.

Greg also annoys Billie by saying that he 'can't be bothered' to try and potty train Arthur while they are away in Spain.

"Greg you can't say that. It's bad parenting!" Billie warns her other half.

The upcoming episodes sees the close-knit family jet off to Spain on another luxury jaunt.
