Sam and Billie Faiers were brought up by their mum after their biological dad stopped seeing them when they were young. The former The Only Way is Essex stars have endured a strained relationship with their father, Lee Faiers, over the years. While step dad Dave Chatwood, who is no longer with their mum, is featured heavily on their ITVBe reality series The Mummy Diaries, Lee is nowhere to be seen. It was actually Dave who proudly walked Billie down the aisle during her Maldives wedding to Greg Shepherd in May 2019. Sam and Billie refer to Dave as their 'dad', having had frosty relations with biological father Lee for many years. "From what I gather, he was a seductive bad boy who made his money as a successful market trader," Sam wrote in her tell-all autobiography titled Secrets and Lies: The Truth Behind the Headlines in 2015. When the girls were young they lived on an 18-acre farm in Upminster, Essex, after Lee's job as a market trader made him a millionaire.

A COUPLE say they have found 150 faults with their new £265,000 Help to Buy home. Amy Fenn, 24, and fiancé George Watts-Sturrock, 32, claim to have had endless issues with their "nightmare" new-build - including damp, mould, uneven walls and even a burst water tank and two floods. The pair bought the detached three-bed property in Norfolk in 2018. It was advertised as being part of "a superb collection of stunning homes" by Suffolk builder Hopkins & Moore. It should have been their dream home, but they say it has been "a nightmare". It started with mould in the first week, and then the pair noticed damp, uneven walls and that the stairs were unfinished. They say there was also a wonky sink, wobbly doors, damaged worktops, dodgy tiling and the drains were blocked with rubble. And then to top if off, the couple experienced two floods - one while they lay in bed. Amy told The Mirror : "We heard a huge bang and gushing water and found the tank in our boiler … [Read more...] about Couple say they’ve found 150 FAULTS with ‘mould and burst tank’ in new £265,000 Help to Buy home

A couple say their Help to Buy dream became a nightmare as they claim to have found 150 problems in their new-build home in two years. Amy Fenn, 24, and fiancé George Watts-Sturrock, 32, bought the £265,000 starter home under the flagship Government scheme. But their joy turned to misery with a seemingly never-ending list of “snags”. The couple claim there was damp and mould, uneven walls and unfinished stairs. They say a sink was wonky, doors were wobbly, worktops damaged, tiling was iffy and drains were blocked with rubble. Then – through sheer bad luck, not down to poor building – there were two floods. In that second, a water tank exploded as horrified Amy and George lay in bed. Amy said: “We heard a huge bang and gushing water and found the tank in our boiler system had literally exploded. It has just been one thing after another.” George, who works in quality assurance, said: “We were so excited to get our first home but it’s been a nightmare.” The detached … [Read more...] about Young couple say they’ve found 150 faults in brand-new £265,000 Help to Buy home
