The reality TV star - previously known as Billie Faiers - gave birth to her third child with husband Greg Shepherd - a daughter called Margot - on December 2 and she's now revealed the tot's middle name is Suzanne in a tribute to Billie's mum Suzie.

The former TOWIE star and her partner shared the news with Suzie in a new episode of their show 'The Family Diaries', with Billie telling her: "Even though we named Margot as soon as she was born, we haven't actually announced it yet ...

"We've actually decided on her middle name ... Margot, Suzanne Shepherd."

Suzie fought back tears as she said: "You're not! Are you?" with Billie insisting the tot is named "after her nanny Sue".

Billie then credited her husband with the idea, saying: "Greg come up with this suggestion that we name Margot's middle name after Suzanne, my mum, and it is just yeah the best ... She's so special to us, and the kids."

The couple are also parents to daughter Nelly, eight, and son Arthur, five.

It comes after Billie revealed Margot's arrival didn't go to plan because she spent two days waiting for her contractions to start and was then unable to go through with the water birth she had planned.

Speaking on 'The Sam Billie Show' podcast, she explained: "Obviously not everything goes to plan, of course it doesn't, but I was gutted because I knew that being induced meant that I couldn't go in birthing pool and I actually really wanted to try for a water birth this time ...

"[But] when ... she arrived, it was the most amazing incredible feeling."
