BILLIE Faiers snubbed fine dining for a traditional buffet spread as she enjoyed a surprise 30th birthday party with family.
The reality star thanked mum Suzanne, 49, for putting out sandwiches, crisps, a cheeseboard, and a tasty assortment of meats as the Faiers’ let their hair down and marked the milestone age.
Suzanne filled her house with metallic balloons while Billie’s sister Sam, 29, commissioned a stunning three-tier birthday cake.
Billie’s pile of designer gifts that included a Louis Vuitton box were caught on camera.
But the best present of all was a trip to New York, that Sam revealed by walking in dressed as the Statue of Liberty.
Fiancé Greg and kids Nelly and Arthur had a blast watching Billie enjoy herself.
Meanwhile Sam was recently slammed for her “vulgar display of wealth” and “over the top” Christmas decorations on Instagram.
The Mummy Diaries star transformed her dining room into a festive wonderland – but faced a huge backlash from angry fans.
The unexpected reaction came after Sam asked her followers to donate money to orphans before she posted her lavish Christmas decorations.
Dozens of helium balloons, plastic candy canes, mini Santas and blow up stars covered her wall and ceiling, with a giant floral wreath laid across a table.
A large toy soldier stood by the wall, beside a sign that said ‘Christmas by the Knightley’s’.
One person summed up their thoughts beneath her post, writing: “One minute you’re going to visit orphans, next minute you’re shoving your wealth down everyone’s throats. Distasteful.”
Another person said in a lengthy rant: “I can’t quite piece together how you would go from seeing children in dire situations who don’t even have the basics and say that you are humbled, yet not a few weeks later you are splashing your wealth across social media.
“There are so many families that won’t even have a tree this Christmas.
“I don’t doubt you work extremely hard to earn what you do and spend your money however you want but why does it need to be plastered on social media? A little strange to go from one extreme to the other.”
And one more typed: “This is amazing and total goals but I can’t help but think there’s some people who could feed a full family Xmas on the amount spent on this, at least 10 times over. Hope whatever can be gets donated to those less fortunate.”
Other followers were concerned what she had planned to do with the decorations after Christmas.
However, other fans loved her efforts, with Lydia Bright’s mum Debbie writing: “I absolutely love it.”
Louisa Zissman added: “I’ve taught you to be the next best extra person I know”
And Love Island’s Francesca Allen said: “I can’t wait to come round”
