There could be a sibling squabble in the Faiers house as Towie sisters Sam and Billie are both up for Celebrity Mum of the Year – despite Sam only giving birth five weeks ago.

Billie, 26, who’s mum to 17-month-old daughter Nellie, won the coveted title last year, but could now be dethroned by her younger sister, who gave birth to baby Paul in December.

Sam is due to reveal all about her pregnancy and Paul’s birth in a new ITVBe special called The Baby Diaries.

Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine show, Sam revealed that her boyfriend, also named Paul, had to be convinced to allow cameras to follow them during the special time.

She said: “He wasn’t too keen. He took quite a bit of persuading – it’s not his world and he’s never been on camera before.

“I actually thought he was a natural and he was quite good. He done it for me. I’m glad he got involved as much as he did because it shows us as a family unit, together going into parenthood.”

She also revealed that Paul took a two-hour nap during her labour, which ticked her off.

“I spoke to him about it afterwards,” she said.

There could be another rivalry in the contest between mum-of-five Katie Price – who has won the title twice before – and her ex-husband Peter Andre’s new wife Emily MacDonagh, with whom he has a two-year-old daughter, Amelia.

Katie’s nomination by the public may come as a surprise after the backlash she has recently faced from piercing the ears of her 18-month-old daughter Bunny and posted a snap of her eight-year-old daughter Princess in a full face of make-up.

Making their debuts on the list are Adele, mum to Angelo, three, and Olympian Jessica Ennis-Hill, who has a one-year-old son, Reggie, with husband Andy.

YouTube sensation Louise Pentland, who vlogs under the name Sprinkle of Glitter to her seven million social media followers, is also nominated.

Coleen Rooney, who has just welcomed third son Kit with husband Wayne, mum-of-three Danielle Lloyd, and Giovanna Fletcher, wife of McFly singer Tom, will have given birth to her second child by the time the results are revealed, complete the list.
