Billie asks Nelly what she thinks of the kitchen design, to which the youngster replies: ‘It feels good, but I do not want plastic flowers and big covers over our sofas.’
Greg jokes: ‘Yeah, we’re not going to have plastic covers over the sofas Brad please.’
Billie tells Brad: ‘I know at this stage it’s really basic but it’s just good to get an idea of the space and the layout.’

But Greg can’t resist winding Billie up as Brad goes on to show them the games room, with throwback pictures of the former TOWIE star in lingerie used as artwork.
Brad tells her: ‘Billie I know you’ve had a lot of say about the kitchen, I’ve put a rough idea together about the games room.’
Billie holds her head in her hands as Nelly and Greg fall about laughing.
Building work began 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.

Bridges haven’t been built since they won planning permission in August with Billie saying earlier this year: ‘We’ve not seen anyone. But it’s just not a great start, is it?’
She continued of the home, which was constructed in the 1920s: ‘The house is so old, whoever was going to buy it was going to have to renovate.
‘There’s only one neighbour to the side of us and he had a lot of reasons as to why he didn’t want us to go ahead, but it was getting a bit silly in the end.

‘It’s been a very long journey already and it’s about to get even more pressurised once the builders start work.’
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.
