TOWIE icons set to reunite for new reality series ahead of ITV show's 15th anniversary

Samantha Faiers and her sister Billie Shepherd are working on a brand new fly-on-the-wall series together ahead of TOWIE's 15th anniversary. 

Last year in September Billie, 35, quit her long-running ITVBe series The Family Diaries as she wanted to give her three children the chance to 'grow up away from cameras'. 

Meanwhile, her sister Samantha, 34, stepped back from the show three years earlier to focus on her business, Revive Collagen. 

Now, the sisters are reuniting for a fresh format focusing on their lives as entrepreneurs. 

A TV insider revealed: 'Sam has been making waves internationally with her brand, Revive Collagen, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Chris Appleton in LA, who is a brand ambassador for her business, and jet-setting across the globe to grow her brand.' 

'ITV sees this as the perfect moment to bring the sisters back together. Sam and Billie have always been ratings gold, and their new show promises to be bigger and better than ever.' 

The show, which is expected to air later this year, will follow both sisters as they navigate their personal and professional lives as entrepreneurs. 

It’s understood that Sam was hesitant to return to TV, but ITV made her an offer she couldn't refuse as part of an exclusive golden handcuffs deal. 

The opportunity to work alongside her sister again played an important role in her decision.

It comes after Billie and her husband Greg quit their ITV show The Family Diaries after six series in September last year.

The couple, who regularly share intimate details of their family life on their hit show, have packed up the series to 'let their children grow up away from cameras'.

Billie and Greg, 39, share three children Nelly, 10, Arthur, seven, and Margot, 25 months, who have grown up on reality TV since birth.

Their oldest daughter Nelly made her television debut on The Only Way Is Essex in 2014 when she was weeks old.

Similarly to Nelly, Arthur first appeared on screens shortly after he was born when Billie and her sister Samantha had their joint series The Mummy Diaries. 

Since Samantha quit the series in 2021, Billie and Greg have continued to showcase their glamorous lives on their own show - where baby daughter Margot was introduced.

A source told The Sun at the time: 'Billie has loved her time on the show and had loads of fun, but thinks it's time she let her kids grow up away from the cameras for a bit.'

'She adores the memories she has made and will treasure them forever, she's so grateful to the production company, but is excited about exploring new options with ITV.'

'There is no bad blood and the sky is the limit.'

An ITV spokesman said at the time: 'We are currently in production with a new series of The Family Diaries to air on ITVX and ITVBe later this year and are in conversations with Billie about projects for 2025.'
