Billie Shepherd Replaces Denise on TOWIE Podcast!

is set for a surprise return to The Only Way Is Essex, as the new host of its spin-off podcast.

In recent months, the reality star has taken a step back from TV to focus on her family life, but is now set to return to the industry that made her a star.

Billie is set to replace  on the show You Alright Hun? when returns later this year.

The mother-of-three is no stranger to the podcast world, having previously hosted a self-titled show alongside her sister Sam.

Sources have already shared with Daily Mail that the business-savvy star has found alternative ways to fund her lavish lifestyle, after quietly 'quitting' .

Billie said: 'I'm so excited to say I'm the brand new host of the Towie podcast You Alright Hun?

'I'm taking over the reins from the amazing Denise in the next few weeks and I can't wait.'

A source also told The Sun: 'Denise was great, but bosses wanted to go in a different direction.

'Billie is perfect as she has loads of experience hosting podcasts herself and knows a lot of the Towie cast personally. She hasn't been on the show for a while though, so is able to stay objective.'

Star Harry Derbridge also praised Billie's signing at the ITV2 reality showcase on Friday, saying: 'It is going to be so good to have Billie with us.

'She loves TOWIE still and I think she will be a great host. She still watches it.'

Saffron Lempriere also shared that comments made on the podcast had caused even more drama between some of the cast.

She said: 'The podcast has ruffled feathers in the cast actually.

'It has not gone down well with some of us. I did it with Bobby (Norris) and I want him back.'

Billie first shot to fame after joining the show in 2011 and launched a successful reality TV career, including starring in nine seasons of her own show Sam & Billie: The Mummy Diaries, charting Billie and her sister Sam as they navigated motherhood.

Then Billie starred in The Family Diaries with her husband Greg, focusing just on their family unit. Cameras followed the siblings once again in 2025 for Sam & Billie: Sister Act, documenting their work as entrepreneurs.

However, in a decision that came as a shock to Sam and Billie, channel bosses dropped it from their schedules after just one series.

Last year sources told how a rift between the sisters left their mother Suzie, 57, in the middle, but the pair are now on better terms.
