Billie Faiers' mum Suzie recalls awkward encounter with Noel Gallagher in the Maldives

Billie Faiers' mum has recalled the awkward moment she answered the door to Noel Gallagher wearing nothing but a towel while holidaying in the Maldives.

Suzie Wells, 53, reminisced on how she had just got of the shower when she got an unexpected knock from the "ever so polite" Oasis rocker, 54, who had mistaken their luxurious villa for his.

In the latest episode of The Sam & Billie Show podcast, Sam jokingly asked her mum if she "dropped her towel" from the shock of seeing Noel on her doorstep, before revealing they asked for a photo with him.

Reliving the moment, Suzie said: "He knocked on our door. I was in a towel, just out of the shower. He got the wrong villa. He had the villa next door to us.

"And I was like, I opened the door it was one of them moments. I was like, "hello". I had a towel around me."

Sam, 31, who was also on holiday at the time, went on to say how she had missed the encounter but "mum came running into me, saying: 'That was Noel Gallagher '."

Suzie went on: "Do you know what she said to me: "Did you drop your towel?". He was lovely. He was ever so polite. Myself and Samantha we got on a buggy with him."

Sam told sister Billie how their mum was desperate to get a photograph and so had asked Noel for a photo.

"Mum went 'I really want a picture with him', so I just said 'we can only say no'. So I asked him and he did," Sam said.

Suzie said Noel had turned down the photo opportunity and told the pair: "I'm on holiday", with Suzie thinking the Wonderwall hitmaker didn't want fans to know he was on the island.

The family went on to reveal a whole host of stars were staying on the island at the time and while Suzie didn't get a picture with Noel, she got a snap with Rita Ora.

Elsewhere on the podcast, Sam spoke about her third pregnancy and believes she is having a boy after having a few 'vivid dreams'.

The former TOWIE star, who announced with her long-term boyfriend Paul Knightley they were expecting in November, is keeping her baby's gender a surprise but thinks she will have another son.

She said: "For the first four or five months I didn't actually know what I was going to have at all. I didn't really have any hint or clues.

"Recently, when I look at my bump, I don't know there's a couple of little things that make me think it's a boy and I've had a couple of really vivid dreams. Other than that, it's like you said it's 50/ 50."

The reality star is planning on having a home birth and wants her two children Rosie, four, and Paul, six, to be a part of it.

"I need to write a birthing plan. As soon as I get the twinges I will call you both as I think with this one I will be really quick," she said.

"Rosie was only six hours, imagine if this one is only three hours. At least it's at home so there will be no trouble getting in the hospitals.

"You can come straight to mine and just come in through the front door. I'll be pacing up and down doing my breathing.

"If it's a school day [Rosie and Paul] will go to school, but if not I'll just have them at home. I won't necessarily have them when I'm pushing but I can just have them in the house."
