Billie Faiers left red-faced as Phillip Schofield grills her over huge wedding cost

The Mummy Diaries star Billie Faiers was left a little red-faced, as This Morning host Phillip Schofield grilled her over her wedding cost.

Sam Faiers’ sister tied the knot with husband Greg Sheperd in the Maldives recently, with their ITVBe series following the lead up to the big day.

The sisters both appeared on This Morning to address reports of complaints made by other guests at the hotel they were staying in, which was the Kuramathi Island Resort.

They also talked about the future of the series, while Billie went on to reveal her happiness after her big day.

But things took an awkward turn after Billie announced she packed 10 suitcases worth of wedding gifts for guests, which included bikinis and other items.

Hosts Phillip and Holly Willoughby also revealed she had 90 friends and family members there staying with her for the nuptials.

Phillip, though, decided to grill the mother of two over how much her wedding cost, after finding out how much the hotel cost per night.

Billie laughed awkwardly as Phillip suggested she paid at least 229,000 for the ceremony, after paying for loved ones to stay in the luxury resort.

Phillip commented: “This is the Kuramathi Resort in the Maldives. So we had a look, if you were to stay there next Saturday it would be £650 a night, that would be £4,588 for a week for the superior beach villa.

“The whole week for a 100 guests, £229,000. So you must have got a deal there. £229,000 for your wedding?”

The sisters laughed and Sam said: “Not much of a deal,” before Billie added of the total: “No it wasn’t quite that.”

Phillip then grilled her further after claiming she didn’t get a discount, saying: “Right, so they did give you a deal?”

Billie then explained how while the beach huts come at a price, two families were sharing each one which helped them out with the cost.

This Morning airs weekdays and Sundays at 10:30am on ITV.
