Sam and Billie: Sister Act axed
Sam Faiers has said she and her sister Billie Faiers "don't have any plans for another series" of Sister Act.
Sam Faiers and Billie Faiers: Sister Act has been axed after one series.
Four years after The Mummy Diaries faced the chop, the siblings reunited to create Sister Act - which delved into how the stars juggle motherhood, their illustrious careers and life as a celebrity.
But with their heavy workload, the sisters - who shot to fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2010 - have no time to create a second season of the ITV reality TV show.
During a Q+A session on Sam's Instagram Stories on Wednesday (26.11.25), a fan asked: "Love watching you and Billie on Sister Act, will we see another series soon?"
Sam replied: "Billie and I had the best time filming Sister Act last year. It was honestly such a special experience.
"We don't have any plans for another series right now as work is pretty full on for both of us."
It has been reported that the unexpected low rating figures are a factor in Sister Act facing the chop.
An insider told The Sun: "Sam hadn’t been on TV in a while and it doesn’t look like viewers missed her.
"Viewing figures weren’t what they hoped, and a lot of the show was based around the sisters selling products, which felt a bit like one long advert."
Sister Act came off the back of Sam and Billie's ITV reality show, The Mummy Diaries, which documented their lives as parents.
Sam and her partner Paul Knightley - who have Paul, nine, Rosie, seven, and three year old Edward - quit the programme in 2021.
After Sam left, Billie and her husband Greg Shepherd - who are parents to Nelly, 11, Arthur, eight, and two year old Margot - continued with the show and renamed it The Family Diaries, which ended in 2024 after six series.
In one episode of Sister Act, some viewers slammed Sam for offering "dangerous" medical advice to Billie, ahead of Arthur getting his tonsils removed following "six" bouts of tonsillitis.
Billie said: "Arthur is getting his tonsils out. He had tonsillitis, I’d say six times last year, and it made him so poorly.
"When the doctor looked at them, straight away he said to me, ‘Nah…’ he went ‘They are really, really unhealthy tonsils.
"But tonsils serve no purpose in your body.”
Sam feared that if Arthur had his tonsils removed, his body would not be able to tell him or other people that he is ill.
Sam said: "Everything in your body serves a purpose.
"When you’re not well, and something inflames in your body, or your tonsils are raised, or your hair is falling out, or you’ve got a rash, it’s because your body is telling you something isn’t right.
"So it’s Arthur’s body’s way of telling him I’ve got an allergy, or you know, I’ve got a virus, and that’s his way.
"So when they’re out, how else is his body going to tell you that something is wrong?"
One viewer blasted Sam on social media, writing: "Don’t ever mess about waiting for tonsils out mine was left when I was you by 17 rushed into hospital because it made me soo ill had swollen all over from leaking I’ve had fibromyalgia for 15 years nothing can help and now serve arthritis all over from sport pus single parent disabled daughter I wish I could dream everything be OK with positivity or a cream or holistic but life not like that. (sic)”
And another penned: "She’s no doctor and shouldn’t be allowed to give advice that's dangerous."
