The 25-year-old reality star quit the programme in 2014 but her sister Billie Faiers is convinced she'll be back in front of the cameras one day.

She said: "I always say to her it would be so nice.

"I think she'd be up for it when the time is right. The fans would love it."

Billie is constantly amused by her and fiancé Greg Shepherd's daughter Nelly, 21 months, even if the tot can be a bit naughty.

She said: "She's going through the terrible twos at the moment. If I tell her not to do something, she'll look at me and do it anyway. I'm ringing Greg up like 'What time will you be home from work?' But she's really funny and has a great personality."

And Nellie dotes on Sam's son Paul, four months, though Billie does have to watch her "heavy-handed" daughter around the baby.

She added to Star magazine: "As soon as my sister knocks on the door, Nelly goes,'Baby Paul?' Sometimes I have to restrain her because she's a bit heavy handed.

"The other day I was holding him and he's really chunky. Nelly was trying to pull him off me and I was like, 'Nelly he weighs more than you.' "
