Prior to Chatty arriving, Billie tells husband Greg Shepherd: "He can be quite in denial about things, dad doesn't want to know. When I rung him and asked about his results, he was like: 'Oh no, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine.'"
Speaking in a VT, Billie explains: "Dad's found out that his liver results are abnormal and after telling the doctors that he drinks a lot more than what he should do, daily, the doctor is concerned because they do think his health could be at risk.

There can be weeks, months, everything's fine and then obviously there's times where it gets out of control. Having these tests are the first that we know are 100% legit. Like we know what he's been tested for" with Greg adding: "It's the first time we've seen the results because he never, he tells us he's alright, but we've never actually seen the results!"

Billie continues: "Today, I just want to have a really honest chat with him and no one's judging him, we just want to support him and help him in any way we can." Chatty then arrives as Billie and Greg talk to him, to which he says: "No, I eat healthy, it's just alcohol, innit?" with Billie asking: "You going to do anything about that, moving forward?"
Chatty insists: "Yeah, I'm going to try to, yeah, it's only when I'm stressed, I'll drink, so..." with Greg asking: "How many bottles of wine do you have a day? Be honest..." Chatty then admits: "Two bottles of wine a day, you know, I live on my own. I go down the pub for a bit of company and to, you know, have a chat and talk but you're actually drinking while you're chatting and talking. It's a lifestyle."
