Billie Shepherd has made a big change on social media amid her family’s lavish Christmas getaway to the Maldives.
The reality star, 33, jetted off to celebrate in the sun with husband Greg, 38, and children Nelly, nine, Arthur, five, and 11-month-old Margot.
But the latest trip saw Billie turning off the comments section on her post after previously being accused of rubbing her wealth in people’s faces, according to The Mirror.
In the snaps the former TOWIE star looked gorgeous in an array of stylish beach wear as she sipped Champagne with her family on the beach.
Writing: ‘Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas love The Shepherd’s’.

According to The Mirror previous posts from the star’s many trips including to Dubai and Greece were met with backlash from fans.
According to the publication one wrote: ‘Bragging about your wealth as always’.
While another said: ‘I am not hating but it’s sickening when all you do is flaunt your life off on social media and get paid to promote brands that you don’t even use or would never entertain but because they pay you money to endorse their products and make out you use them, you just do it because they pay you money’.
And: ‘How vile you seem to rub your new wealth into people’s faces.. show some compassion for how your followers are struggling at the moment’.
Earlier this month sister Sam Faiers was also slammed by fans for gushing about her seventh trip to Lapland UK where tickets cost at £140 a pop.
The 32-year-old shared a video montage of her last trip to the Christmas experience with her partner Paul Knightley and their children Paul, seven, Rosie, six, and one-year-old Edward.
She captioned the post: ‘Our family tradition.. I can’t believe this is our 7th year visiting @laplanduk. Magical in every way.’
But the TV personality came in for criticism from her followers who said many people can’t afford to go to Lapland once, nevermind seven times.

According to The Sun, one user wrote: ‘Perhaps next year Sam could donate tickets to a family that isn’t as privileged.’
Another added: ‘OK to post pictures of Lapland but to make a point of saying it’s the 7th time is a little unfair.’
A third wrote: ‘Love your family but some people would like to take their little one’s once,’ while a fourth penned: ‘You’re lucky you can afford it.’
It comes after Sam and her Billie signed a multi-million pound deal for their podcast with Amazon.

They will be bringing their podcast The Sam and Billie Show to Amazon’s podcast platform Wonderly in a multi year deal.
The former TOWIE stars, who launched their podcast back in 2021, are now setting their sights on conquering the US.
An insider exclusively told MailOnline: ‘The deal with Amazon marks a significant milestone for Sam and Billie.
‘The girls are hoping the deal will open doors for them in the US.’
The source close to Sam and Billie said the huge signing marks a new era for the sisters, after Sam stepped down from Mummy Diaries filming in 2021.
The podcast covers the sisters’ lives as they negotiate family life with being in the public eye.
The lucrative deal comes as Sam’s brand Revive Collage netted more than £13million in the first three years.
