Speaking about her family back in 2009 when she starred in Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Billie admitted that her brother and sisters found her fame embarrassing. "My siblings ignore anything I do," the mum-of-two revealed during an appearance on The Justin Lee Collins Show. "They find it embarrassing and I get that… they don't want my success to become the topic of conversation. They just take everything down in the house with me on when their mates come round. They just ignore that we are related. I don't blame them."
