The Mummy Diaries star Billie Faiers has spoken out about Sam Faiers' feud with Ferne McCann

Earlier this month it was reported that Ferne McCann was "devastated" she was "excluded" from Billie Faiers' bridesmaids list because of her feud with Sam Faiers, but now the mum-of-two has revealed the real reason she didn't pick her BFF as a bridesmaid.

Last year it came it was reported that the reality stars had fallen out because of Ferne's relationship with Arthur Collins, then Sunday's mum spoke out and revealed their feud started because she was filming First Time Mum.

It appeared that the former co-stars had kissed and made up after they both attended Billie's hen-do in Ibiza but then The Sun reported Ferne was "devastated" she's not a bridesmaid at her childhood friend's wedding.

Georgia Steel and Ellie Brown

Probably the most dramatic night in the Love Island 2018 villa, hell broke loose when Georgia Steel returned from a date with Jack Fowler. Jack told his then-girlfriend Laura Anderson (who was also Georgia's BFF) that Georgia had pulled him in for a kiss but Georgia 100% denied this to Laura. She continued to lie about the kiss all night (well, for the whole series actually) but Ellie Brown was having none of it. She shouted at Georgia and called her out for always banging on about how 'loyal' she is. The final blow that silenced everyone was when Ellie called Georgia an 'ugly c**t'. YIKES. Even Ellie's boyfriend Charlie Brake said she went too far. The pair never fully recovered their friendship and Georgia said Ellie needed to go and 'wash her mouth out'. It's worth mentioning that Georgia has since 'fessed up to the kiss and apologised to Laura.

Malia was on the island for mere HOURS before going into a violent rage and being booted off the show. Love rival Malia spilt a drink down her leg when Malia retaliated with pushing, shoving and a whole lotta swearing. Well that's one way to make a first impression in front of people.

Following a dispute from earlier in the week, the TOWIE girls exchanged sharp words at a girls night in. Gemma stole the argument with the now classic line: "I'm 34-years-old I've earned my diva-ship".

Securing her reputation as Queen of Confrontations, Gemma Collins turned her sharp tongue to BFF Bobby Norris. Poor Bob told Gemma she was 'throwing him under a bus' for dragging him into an argument between her and Lauren Pope. It ended with Gemma throwing a drink in his face.

Who could EVER forget Fight Night? The original Big Brother bust-up happened in season 5. Pretty much the whole house was divided and involved - with Victor Ebuwa and Emma Greenwood throwing trays at each other. It was IN-SANE.

Perhaps one of the classiest cat fights to grace our TV screens, Millie Macintosh raised a glass and announced Hugo's infidelities with her BFF Rosie Fortiscue. She then met up wth Hugo and gave him a well deserved (and very expensive) drink in the face. And now the pair are about to get engaged!

We applaud Camilla for giving clueless Jonny a lesson in feminism. When he asked her if she was a feminist, she replied: "Shouldn't we all be feminists? Surely you believe in equality?" Well said, Camilla.

It was actually quite sad to see this bromance hit rocky waters. The girl who got between them (it's always over a girl, right?!) was Lucy Watson. We were glad to see that they quickly reconciled.

Now, the bride-to-be has spoken out in an exclusively interview with Closer magazine and admitted that Ferne has known for a while that she wouldn't be picked as a bridesmaid.

She explained: "So many of my friends have had eight pals as bridesmaids, but I think it's too much.

"There was a story that my friend Ferne was upset she won't be one of my bridesmaids, but I've got a really good group of friends and I could never pick just one or two of them - never choose between your friends."
