TOWIE star Billie Faiers has delighted her Instagram followers by sharing a precious family moment, capturing her three-year-old daughter Margot giving a beautifully crafted homemade birthday card to her older brother Arthur, who recently turned nine. The heartwarming video, posted to her Instagram Stories, shows Margot eagerly pointing out the colours she used in the card, including a special touch of blue to honour Arthur's love for Chelsea FC.
A Creative and Joyful Celebration
Margot, who spent time unleashing her creativity for the occasion, beamed with pride as she watched Arthur read the card. In the clip, Arthur can be heard declaring it would be 'the best card so far', before reading out the heartfelt birthday message written by his little sister. The tender scene culminated in Arthur wrapping his arms around Margot in a massive hug, with Billie, 36, giggling in the background as she filmed the interaction.
Family Tributes and Birthday Festivities
Billie, a mother-of-three, also shared other posts from Arthur's birthday celebrations on social media. She showcased a Chelsea-themed chocolate birthday cake she made for her son, expressing that she was 'so pleased' with the result. Another snapshot featured Arthur happily tucking into his birthday dinner, which included ham, egg, and chips from his grandmother, Nanny Suzie.
In a grid post dedicated to Arthur, Billie wrote a touching tribute: 'Happy 9th Birthday to my Arthur Chops. You are truly one in a million my little darling. You definitely think you’re the boss. You are funny, kind, fun to be with, loving and my little shadow for life. I am so proud of you. I can’t wait to celebrate with you today our beautiful boy, love you lots xxx.'
Support from Showbiz Friends and Family
Billie's celebrity friends and family quickly flooded the comments with birthday wishes for Arthur. Amy Childs commented, 'Happy birthday Arthur xxx,' while Billie's mother, Suzie Wells, added, 'Happy birthday beautiful boy.' Jamie Corbett, husband of Adam Frisby and a new father, also chimed in with, 'Happy birthday Arthur.'
Billie shares her children Nelly, 11, Arthur, nine, and Margot, three, with her husband, Greg Shepherd, who posted his own tributes to mark Arthur's ninth birthday on Instagram Stories. Greg shared a collection of nostalgic videos, including one of Arthur dressed as Woody from Toy Story as a toddler.
A Welcome Distraction from Heartbreak
Arthur's birthday likely provided a joyful respite for the family following the sudden death of Billie's father-in-law, Dave, last year. Billie had previously shared a heartfelt message on social media, posting a photo of herself and Greg with Dave on holiday, along with other cherished family memories.
In the caption, she paid tribute to the 'wonderful' man, writing: 'Losing you so soon has left us all utterly heartbroken, it still doesn’t feel quite real, all of the wonderful times and memories we made together, I have been so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life, a man we all looked up to I always said you was The Best! And I meant it, you truly was the best father in law, dad and grandad we could ever wish for. I will miss laughing with you, dancing with you, our chats, making you endless amounts of tea and coffee, playing all of your games, I adored you, you was kind, happy, thoughtful and fun. Life will never feel the same again, I miss you unconditionally I love you with all my heart.'
The family's celebration of Arthur's milestone birthday highlights their resilience and the enduring bonds that bring them together, even in the face of past sorrows.
