During the latest edition of TOWIE, Billie Faiers showed her baby daughter off on screen for the first time – and finally confirmed that her name is Nellie.

But now the proud Essex mum, 24, has revealed that, while her little girl's first name is Nellie, she made sure to pay an extra-special tribute to sister and BFF Sam Faiers.

Speaking in a new interview, Billie explained: "We thought it would be really nice for her to have Samantha as her middle name because Samantha was there when she was born.

"She formed such a close bond with Nelly straight away."

While Nellie means "shining light, or most beautiful woman", Samantha means "listener".

Meanwhile Billie just can't get enough of her baby girl, posting a seriously cute photograph of the pair having a cuddle on her Instagram.

She captioned the shot: “Cuddles with my bubba”
