Billie Faiers has hit out at “rude” Phillip Schofield for asking about the price of her wedding on This Morning.
Back in March, Billie and her sister Sam appeared on the daytime show to speak about her big day and host Phil decided to ask about the cost of the wedding.
Phil said at the time: “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?”
Laughing awkwardly, Sam said: “Not much of a deal,” before Billie added: “No, it wasn’t quite that.”
Not done with his grilling, Phil asked: “Right, so they did give you a deal?”
Billie said: “Because there was a large group of us, we had the beach houses but they split them in two so two families would be in one beach house. That really helped us out.”
Now, speaking to OK! Magazine, the reality TV star has admitted she was “in shock” over the interview.
She said: “I was in shock. Prior to our appearance, I’d been very clear that I don’t talk about money. It’s rude and it’s nobody’s business but ours.”
Her husband Greg Shepherd added that they “should ask Phillip Schofield how much he earns”.
Billie added: “They were trying to insinuate that we got the wedding for free, which is so far from the truth. We saved for our wedding for years.”
Billie and Greg – who have daughter Nelly, four, and son Arthur, two, – tied the knot earlier this year.
The mum-of-two wore a beautiful fishtail, lace, crystal embellished gown designed by Berta for her big day and Greg was overwhelmed by how beautiful his bride looked.

Speaking to OK! at the time, Billie said of her big day: “Other than the days that Nelly and Arthur were born, it was the best day of my life. It was like a fairy tale – all the stress and tears were worth it. It’s so lovely for me to finally be a Shepherd and share a surname with my children. Marriage ties our little family together completely.”
