It comes after viewers saw Billie and Greg get completely involved with their housing renovations on The Mummy Diaries, with the star getting to grips with a digger to tear down parts of the house.

In the clip, Billie is the first to climb into the digger as she tells Greg she’s ‘really nervous’ to be involved in the process while he films her on his phone.

Billie then asks one of the building contractors how to use the machine as her two children Nelly, six, and Arthur, four, watch on with her mother Sue. 

On the show, the couple viewed interior design plans for the property as work got under way to transform it into their dream home, more than a year after they first bought it.

Building work began on their dream house at the end of January after planning rows with their new neighbours forced several months of delays.

The Dancing On Ice star previously admitted she’s not speaking to the neighbours at her new property in Brentwood, after they opposed the couple’s plans to demolish the original rundown house and replace it with a five-bed home. 

The couple bought the four-bedroom property for £1.4 million a year ago with the hopes of constructing their own dream home.    

According to the planning application, all five bedrooms will be on the first floor with the en-suite master bedroom having a huge dressing room. Three of the other en-suite bedrooms will have walk-in wardrobes.

Greg, 35, has been allowed to add a ‘man cave’, converting the original garage into a gym and games room, and there will be a play room for their two children.

They’re also adding a two-storey side extension, single extensions to the front and rear, and completely re-landscaping the outside space.
