SAM and Billie Faiers are back on screens with a brand new ITV reality show - four years after they sensationally quit The Mummy Diaries.
The sisters have reunited for a fresh series that promises family drama, glamour and plenty of laughs as cameras follow their lives once again.
Sam and Billie Faiers are back — and this time, it’s all about sisterhood, sparkle, and a whole lot of real talk.
The long-awaited new series drops today, reuniting the famous sisters on our screens for the first time since The Mummy Diaries wrapped up in 2021.
With their kids a little older and life throwing new challenges their way, Sam and Billie are turning the spotlight on themselves — juggling motherhood, careers, and that ever-glam celeb lifestyle.
Sam & Billie: Sister Act expects raw moments as they open up like never before, facing health scares, family dramas, and some shocking revelations.
But through all the tears and laughs, the sisters prove their bond is unbreakable.
From emotional heart-to-hearts and healing old wounds, to jet-setting adventures and glitzy nights out, it’s all happening — giving fans a backstage pass to the highs, lows, and everything in between.
This is sisterhood, up close and personal.
Sam quit her ITVBe show The Mummy Diaries to take a break from reality TV.
She has starred on the ITVBe series with property developer hubby Paul Knightley and their two young kids for seven years.
She quit as she planned to focus on new projects away from the cameras.
Sam said: “After many months of consideration, I've decided that now feels like the right time to step away and to focus on new adventures.
"I truly have watched all the most defining moments in my adult life play out on The Mummy Diaries - bringing two beautiful children into the world, my relationship with Paul, building my businesses, creating a home together as a family, and of course all the wonderful memories with Billie and my family.
"I'm so grateful to ITV and Potato for giving me and my children the best home movies anyone could ask for, I could never have imagined seven years ago that we would still be here today - 9 series on! But more importantly, I will be forever appreciative to our incredible viewers.
"There’s no family more entertaining than the Shepherds, so I can’t wait to sit back as a viewer for a change and watch the fun play out while I have a few adventures of my own away from the cameras.”

Billie continued filming her own show, The Family Diaries, with husband Greg Shepherd, focusing on refurbishing her lavish £1.4million Essex mansion.
But then she quit in September to give her three children the chance to grow up away from the cameras.
Sam recently hit back after coming under fire for revealing that her kids never wear sunscreen.
The reality star shared a "dangerous" conspiracy theory, saying her kids have "built up a tolerance" to sunburn.
In response to the backlash, Sam admitted she was not a medical expert but was sharing her own experience with sunscreen.
She wrote on Instagram: "Wow, I've received so many kind and supportive messages from my sunscreen post. Thank you.
"I'd definitely recommend doing a little research into which tallow you'd like to use, there are lots of amazing options out there."
She continued: "PS: Just sharing my experience and tips (not an expert)."
The reality star then shared a photo of a brand of tallow that she usually relies on as an alternative to sunscreen.
Sam's confession came after she decided to do a Q&A with fans.
During it, one person asked the former Towie star: “What suntan lotion do you use as you have a good natural colour?”
Sam, who is mum to Paul, 5, Rosie, 5, and three-year-old Edward, shared: “So this is always a bit of a controversial one, but honestly, me and my whole family don't actually wear sunscreen.
“Over the years, the kids have built up a really good tolerance to being in the sun. Of course, if it's really hot and the sun feels too harsh.
“I'll make sure we head into the shade.. usually around lunchtime we'll go in, have something to eat, and just avoid those peak hours."
She went on: “I'm really careful about sunscreen in general, because a lot of them are actually pretty harmful and full of toxic ingredients.
“If you do want to protect your kids, I think SPF swimwear is such a good and safer option. But also, don't be afraid of the sun! Early in the morning or later in the afternoon when it's not as strong, I love letting the kids run around and soak it up it's so good for them.
“That said, I do always bring a Tallow Zine SPF with me when I go away, just in case. And hats or caps are a must! especially for us ladies, because no one wants extra sun damage (I've had my fair share over the years because I'm such a sun lover!).”
Fans have commented on Sam’s latest post to share their concern after her suncreen message.
One person wrote: “You need to delete your story about not wearing sunscreen I don’t think you understand the damage you can do to your followers by promoting this.”
Someone else said: “absolutely agree - so irresponsible!!” and a third echoed: “ was in shock - ‘kids have grown a tolerance to the sun over the years’ wtf?! Happy for them to get skin cancer then?”
