Sam Faiers and Billie Shepherd's estranged father, 60, 'hospitalised after suffering heart attack'
The estranged dad of Sam Faiers and Billie Shepherd is said to be "lucky to be alive" after reportedly suffering a heart attack. The sisters, best known as former stars of the ITVBe show The Only Way Is Essex and their own reality series The Mummy Diaries, have had a strained relationship with their father, Lee, over the years. Lee, 60, was recently rushed to intensive care after a near-fatal cardiac arrest, a source close to the family has claimed.
