(Picture: Instagram/ShaughnaPhillips)Pregnant Shaughna Phillips has broken her silence after her boyfriend Billy Webb was charged with drug offences.
The former Love Island star is due to welcome her first child in March and has revealed she will be giving birth alone as Webb is no longer “around”.
Webb, 29, was arrested in January and charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A drug, if found guilty he could face up to 16 years in prison.
In light of his Webb’s arrest, Phillips discussed how her birth plan has changed in an interview with OK! Magazine: “After a challenging few weeks, obviously, the baby’s father isn’t around.
“But my main focus has always been just to prepare for the birth and try to be as calm as possible. I’m good at just saying, ‘Right, the show must go on’.
“Billy’s not around, but I don’t want to say that I’m doing it on my own, because I’m absolutely not – my family’s incredible. It’s going to be different, but I don’t want to say it’s going to be bad.”
In a statement shared last month, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “On Friday 20th January, officers arrested a male on Kentish Town Road NW5 after recovering a quantity of Class A drugs.
“A search of a nearby address led to further Class A drugs being recovered, including Cocaine and MDMA.
“Billy Webb was charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs on 21 January. William Bowen was charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A drug on 21 January.
“Webb was remanded at court to appear at Southwark Crown Court on an unspecified date. Bowen was bailed at court to appear at Southwark Crown Court on an unspecified date.”
A rep for Phillips, who has kept her boyfriend off social media to protect his privacy, insisted she had “absolutely no knowledge of any activity involving the allegations against Billy.”
Her representative told Metro.co.uk at the time: “Despite being in a long term relationship with the defendant, Shaughna has no links with the address in question, and will be openly assisting the police with their enquiries.
“We kindly ask the public to be mindful of the imminent birth of Shaughna’s baby and allow her some privacy during this difficult and stressful time.”
