Bust off out of it ... Billie Faiers says she wouldn't want her boyfriend on TOWIE
TOWIE star Billie Faiers says she is happy taking a back seat on the show because she "wouldn’t ever want to have a relationship played out in public".
The blonde, 22, is happily loved-up with boyfriend Greg Shephard, but he doesn't appear on the ITV2 reality show.Billie said: "I don’t have a boyfriend in the show, and one of your main storylines is if you’re in a relationship.
"Obviously, I’m never gonna have a main storyline to do with a relationship because I wouldn’t ever want to have a relationship played out in public like that.”
Billie's words come despite her little sister Sam's romance with co-star Joey Essex playing a huge part in the hit show.
TOWIE returned for its seventh series on Sunday, and asked how the show's bosses keep it fresh, Billie told Nuts magazine: “There are still quite a lot of characters from day one.
"We just need to keep doing what we’re doing and keep going out. People love all that.” Billie, who stripped to a pink lacy bra and tiny denim shorts for a series of sexy shots for the mag, also commented on a Fifty Shades of Grey shoot 21-year-old Sam did.
The co-owner of Minnies Boutique said: “Ha ha! It was really funny because it was shot really serious. I wouldn’t be able to do anything like that – I’d laugh the whole time.
"I’m probably the only person who hasn’t read Fifty Shades of Grey, but I’ve heard so much about it. I’m gonna wait until the film comes out."
And asked who she thinks should play the lead role of Christian Grey in the movie, she added: “I don’t know. Maybe Mark Wright could.
"That would be funny – He’d definitely got the alpha male thing going on.”
Billie also revealed she would consider doing another reality show after TOWIE.
She said: “Not Dancing on Ice because I’m rubbish at skating.
"Strictly Come Dancing would be really good. I’d be absolutely rubbish on I’m a Celebrity - I wouldn’t be able to eat any of the insects or do any of the tasks.”
