Mum-of-three Billie shared an update on her new family home to her Instagram as she showed off how the exterior of the home has changed in two years.

She captioned the video: "How it started Vs How it’s going. Our home is finally starting to feel complete. The team from @vubaresinproducts worked so hard to give us the perfect driveway and we are sooo happy with it!
"It has made the biggest difference!! It’s completely seamless and easy to maintain @vubaresinproducts are a manufacturer and supplier of resin bound products and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided."

The couple had hoped to create a five-bed home with a two-storey extension, gym, games room and huge walk-in wardrobe.
However their proposals were refused planning permission after objections from neighbours who branded the renovations as "excessive" and not in line with other homes nearby.
However amended plans were subsequently approved and their new home includes a swimming pool, jacuzzi and fire pit.

At the time, Billie said: "We've not seen anyone. But it's just not a great start, is it? The house is so old, whoever was going to buy it was going to have to renovate.
"There's only one neighbour to the side of us and he had a lot of reasons as to why he didn't want us to go ahead, but it was getting a bit silly in the end.
"It's been a very long journey already and it's about to get even more pressurised once the builders start work."
