Awkward.

Yesterday morning, Philip Schofield grilled newlywed Billie Faiers on the cost of her wedding.

Billie recently married her long term boyfriend, Greg Shepard, in an extravagant Maldives wedding.

The reason Billie why appeared on This Morning was to address reports of complaints made by other guests at the hotel they were staying in, which was the fancy Kuramathi Island Resort.

The star of The Mummy Diaries popped along to the show with her sister, Sam Faiers, where they discussed the details of the wedding.

It was revealed that Billie packed 10 suitcases worth of gifts for her guests, which included bikinis and various summer bits.

Philip revealed to viewers that there were 90 guests staying in the resort for the big day.

That’s when Philip decided to grill billie on the cost of the wedding, which we imagine was massive.

“This is the Kuramathi Resort in the Maldives. So we had a look, if you were to stay there next Saturday it would be £650 a night, that would be £4,588 for a week for the superior beach villa,” he said

“The whole week for a 100 guests, £229,000. So you must have got a deal there. £229,000 for your wedding?”

Okay, wow.

“Not much of a deal,” said Billie, before revealing that the total price wasn’t quite what Philip thought.

Phillip then grilled her further after claiming she didn’t get a discount, saying: “Right, so they did give you a deal?”

The newlywed explained that the beach huts come at a price, two families were sharing each one which helped them out with the cost.
