Elsewhere Billie Faiers and Greg Shepherd's three-year-old daughter Nelly took centre stage as the parents became locked in a debate about whether she is old enough to wear a bikini.
Billie was seen packing for a 12 day trip to the Maldives, she filled a room with clothes for her eldest and one-year-old son Arthur yet when Greg joins her he is insistent that Nelly is too young for her first bikini despite Billie's objections.
Happy days: Elsewhere Billie Faiers and Greg Shepherd's three-year-old daughter Nelly took centre stage as the parents became locked in a debate about whether she is old enough to wear a bikini
Billie was seen surrounded by a vast amount of clothes as she tells the camera: 'Where do I start? We're going to the Maldives for 12 days so I'm sorting out the kids' stuff. All of this is Nelly's and then these two little piles are Arthur's'.
While cooing over the items she said: 'This is Nelly's first bikini but I haven't shown it to Greg because maybe she's too young to have her first bikini. I just thought it's so cute.
'Also I've got us matching outfits and I know it's so over the top and this is Nelly;s version and I've for the adult version. Very tropical. I'm a really good packer in that I never forget anything but I'm a really bad packer in that I always over pack.'
Once Greg made an appearance, he made his feelings very clear on the bikini, saying: 'Ah not a bikini. She's too young for a bikini. She is. No I just think she's a bit too young for it. Kids in bikinis it's like nah.'
Nope! Seen packing for a 12 day trip to the Maldives, Billie fills a room with clothes for her eldest and one-year-old son Arthur yet when Greg joins her he is insistent that Nelly is too young for her first bikini despite Billie's objections
Fair play: Once Greg made an appearance, he made his feelings very clear on the bikini, saying: 'Ah not a bikini. She's too young for a bikini. She is. No I just think she's a bit too young for it. Kids in bikinis it's like nah'
Firm feelings: 'Also I've got us matching outfits and I know it's so over the top and this is Nelly;s version and I've for the adult version. Very tropical. I'm a really good packer in that I never forget anything but I'm a really bad packer in that I always over pack'
In the hilarious clip, Nelly then tottered around with her bags as she prepared to pack for the trip shortly before Billie revealed she always brings tupperware with her on holiday so she can take food from the breakfast.
She said: 'This is such a mum thing to have isn't it Tupperware? With the kids we like to take stuff from breakfast', after which Arthur said: 'It's not for the kids it's for you! So you're stealing from the breakfast you're not actually allowed to do that.'
In 2013, Kourtney Kardashian came under fire for allowing her then-one-year-old daughter Penelope dress in a leopard print string bikini, as the ensemble was deemed inappropriate for the tot.
It seems Greg won the battle as the pictures from their holiday saw Nelly in a swimming costume in nearly all of Billie's snaps.

In another scene for the upcoming episode Billie's sister Sam and her partner Paul Knightley as they tried to take two-year-old so Paul for a kick-about.
At the football match kicked off, things looked promising as Sam stood on the side by the side and said: 'He's walked straight in and it's like wow this massive hall with loads of people looking on. Oh good he's holding the ball, we have progress.'
Unfortunately baby Paul soon lost interest and began crying, which led to a disheartened Sam saying: 'He just wasn't in the mood for it. He just didn't want to get down. It was a bit of a disaster.'
