One is a proud mum to two children and the other is currently pregnant with her first child – but Billie Faiers threw it back on Sunday to the wild child-free days of her youth with Ferne McCann.
To celebrate pregnant Ferne’s 27th birthday, BFF Billie, shared a funny photo to Instagram showing the best pals on a crazy night out before children came along.
The snap showed Billie, 27, and Ferne both wearing LBDs and being hoisted into the air by a stern-faced man, who is balancing one girl on each of his arms.

Looking thrilled, Billie and Ferne have their arms thrust in the air and are beaming at the camera.
The man trying to support their weight, however, didn’t look as happy…
Billie uploaded the throwback photo to her Instagram with the caption: “Happy Birthday my darling Ferne. This picture brings back a lot of good memories … many more to come ..
She added: “Your last birthday before you become a mumma. Cannot wait to celebrate with you.
“Love you lots my beautiful best friend.”
Ferne responded: “This pic!!!!!! Ahhhh if only we were in Ibiza! Love u chicken let’s celebrate late. 27 club!!!! Xxxxxxxx.”
Ferne was treated to a yummy birthday breakfast by her mother and, of course, couldn’t resist showing it off on social media.
She also revealed gifts from The Little White Company and Liberty department store.
Loads of celeb pals came out to wish Ferne a very special day, including Billie’s sister Sam Faiers, ex TOWIE co-stars Lauren Goodger, Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks, Love Island narrator Iain Stirling, and Celebs Go Dating love guru Lady Nadia Essex.

As Billie – who is mum to daughter Nelly, three, and five-month-old son Arthur – pointed out, this will be Ferne’s last birthday before she becomes a first-time mum; she’s expecting a child by ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins.
Ferne made headlines over the weekend when she shared a video of herself pumping iron in the gym while five months pregnant.

Some fans expressed concern that Ferne may be overdoing it as she prepares to become a mum, but she assured everyone she knows what she’s doing and her body is used to the exercise.
She said: “I have been weight training combined with a little HIIT consistently since the beginning of this year & didn’t want to just stop when I found out I was pregnant.
“I’m in my 2nd trimester & try to maintain 1-2 weight sessions per week with 1 pregnancy yoga class.
