The 25-year-old has been in the ITVBe reality show since it started in 2010, but she and sister Sam, 24, are said to be planning their own Kardashian-style series.

A source close to Billie told The Sun: “There’s no bad feeling, [she’s] just been there since series one and feels she’s done her time. Just like her sister Sam, she’s outgrown the show.”

Mum-of-one Billie and Sam are said to feel like they can give Kourtney, Kim and Khloe a run for their money and are ready to go it alone.

An insider revealed: “They have their own business Minnies Boutique, they’re both loved-up, and Billie has Nellie. They’ve got enough going on to have their own show.”

But, while things are going great for the Faiers sisters, is the show that made them famous in trouble?

Since the end of the last series, show favourites Ricky Rayment and Elliott Wright quit, with both wanting to focus on other projects.

Almost all of the original cast have left the show – have the newcomers got what it takes to keep it going?

Series original Jessica Wright is also reportedly leaving at the end of the current run, and Gemma Collins recently confirmed she’s ‘taking a break’ from the show.

The five of them follow in the footsteps of stars including Mark Wright, Amy Childs and Lucy Mecklenburgh – who have all jumped ship and gone on to enjoy successful careers.

These days the cast is made up mainly of newcomers, including Chloe Lewis, Jake Hall, Tommy Mallet and Vas Morgan.
