That's one gorgeous gene pool! Sam and Billie Faiers look just like their youthful mum in co-ordinating bikini pictures

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and this certainly seems to be the case for gorgeous girls, Sam, 22, and Billie Faiers, 23.
The sisters were recently pictured enjoying a dip in a swimming pool along with their 43-year-old mother, Suzanne Wells, and the three blondes could easily pass as sisters.
Looking like they had stepped straight out of a fashion magazine shoot, the girls looked chic in co-ordinating bikinis.

Oh to have the life of a TOWIE star. Another day, another bikini, this time it's the two Faiers sisters and their very youthful looking mother. But the only one we are really looking at is Billie... her bikini is GORGEOUS!
We've seen her in many bikinis from this summer on: tasselled ones, striped numbers, bold colours and prints. But this one by Lady Lux, with it's detachable jewel necklace, is a firm favourite.
The soft lilac colours look fantastic next to Billie's already tanned skin and dark chocolate hair, and it fits very well, with nothing, erm, spilling out anywhere.
But back to that necklace. It takes this bikini from lovely to AMAZING. Who knew swimwear could be so glamorous? Granted, it's not the best accessory for an all-over even tan, but that's the beauty of it being removable. And if you throw a sarong round your bottom half, add heels, you could be ready, TOWIE style, for a night on the town!
This bikini does come in other colours, and Lady Lux ship internationally, so get buying now for your warm winter holidays!

On Friday, she told This Morning: 'I'm not going out there. I wouldn't do it, not only because I don't want to embarrass myself, but I wouldn't do that to Joey. This is his moment, it's his time in the jungle.'
And she seems pleased to have been able to give her opinion on the matter after saying she received a backlash from those who thought she would enter the camp.
Shortly after her appearance on the show, she Tweeted: 'Thank u so much everyone for your comments. means a lot. Lovely to see you @RuthieeL @EamonnHolmes.' [sic]

Babewatch: No doubt Sam (far left) was glad to get some sunshine after turning down an offer to join her former flame Joey Essex in the jungle

But that doesn't mean that she isn't getting her fair share of sunshine if these pictures from a recent trip to Dubai are anything to go by.
The girls were there to celebrate Ferne McCann's mum's birthday, with Gill Tweeting: 'I am having such a fantastic time in sunny Dubai....... Lucky girl xxxxx.'
Sam, like the rest of her glam family seems to work hard on her figure and recently Tweeted: '#photoshoot 9 days no alcohol, no carbs & training.'
And on Friday Sam and Billie co-ordinated their looks once again when they attended the world's first shoppablepantomime, eBay's Cinderella: An Inspirational Fair-Retail.
Billie wore a blue shirt and green and blue tartan trousers, while her Sister Sam wore a red tartan blouse and an on-trend red PVC skirt.

Jon Bon Jovi's daughter Stephanie looks happy and healthy as she joins her family at Prince William's charity gala one year on from drug overdose

A year ago Jon Bon Jovi received the devastating news that teenage daughter Stephanie Bongiovi had overdosed on heroin in her college dorm room.

But thankfully the frightening episode seems firmly behind the 20-year-old as she was seen looking happy and healthy on Tuesday evening as she joined her rock star father and the rest of her family in London.

Jon, 51, his wife Dorothea, 51, Stephanie and brothers Jacob, 10, and Romeo, eight were among the star guests at Prince William’s Winter Whites Gala in aid of the Centrepoint charity.

Healthy and happy: A fully recovered Stephanie Bongiovi looked stunning as she attended Prince William's Winter Whites gala at Kensington Palace

Ready to rock and royal: Stephanie looked glamorous for the royal event in a white gown with a black trim halterneck

Family love: Stephanie was rushed to hospital after she overdosed on heroin almost a year ago, seen here with dad Jon Bon Jovi, mum Dorothea and brothers Jacob and Romeo

Bon Jovi's daughter happy and smiling one year on from overdose

The Bon Jovi frontman performed at the charitable event at Kensington Palace, but  made the night a family affair as he brought his children and wife of 24 years along to the once in a lifetime affair.

One year ago:  Stephanie and the family headed to the Hamptons days after her hospital stay

Stephanie looked elegant in a stunning white gown with a black halterneck, which perfectly coordinated with the family’s monochrome look.

She made the most of the criss-cross halter neck design by sweeping her long locks to one side, accessorising with a pair of statement drop earrings and a black evening bag.
The former liberal arts student flashed a big smile as she stood next to her 51-year-old father for a group shot before playfully stepping out to strike a pose on her own.
Jon's family did him proud with Stephanie's younger brothers Jacob Hurley, 10, and eight-year-old Romeo Jon looking dapper in tuxedos while Dorothea was stunning in a simple black off the shoulder dress.
Later on in the evening Stephanie was spotted with her dad as the pair chatted to fellow performer Taylor Swift, who also posed for a picture with a starstruck Jacob and Romeo.

Jon and Taylor also teamed up for a rendition of Bon Jovi smash hit Livin’ On A Prayer, alongside Prince William.

The fun evening comes almost exactly a year since Stephanie was found unresponsive in her dorm room at New York's Hamilton College - a well respected, $55,000-a-year liberal arts institution in Kirkland.

Jon recalled earlier this year how his daughter phoned him from hospital to explain the shocking situation.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, he said: 'It was horrible, a horrible moment. It was my worst moment as a father.

'The first thing she said, I’m all right but then she said this is what happened. You wake up, you shake it off and put your shoes on and say OK, I am on the way home.'
Police were called to Stephanie's dorm room after she had been found unconscious with a small amount of heroin.

The unfortunate circumstance could have been much worse for Stephanie when police brought forward charges against her and companion Ian Grant for drug possession.

Happy and healthy: Stephanie flashes a big grin as she poses in her stunning halter neck monochrome gown for the star-studded event

However, the charges were dropped due to local law preventing people who have had a drugs overdose from being prosecuted.
While the Keep The Faith singer said his daughter was very lucky, he stressed the issue is more common than people think.

'I feel it was a terrible tragic lesson of life but I thank God every day because she is whole. It happened and it has gone. 
'I know personally people whose sons and daughters, where it was a lot, lot worse. That could have been Stephanie.'

Prince William stunned crowds at Kensington Palace tonight by jumping on stage with Taylor Swift and Jon Bon Jovi for an 'off-the-cuff' rendition of Livin' On A Prayer.
The Duke of Cambridge met Swift and Bon Jovi at a drinks reception before the start of the Winter Whites Gala in aid of the Centrepoint charity.
However, nobody could have guessed how the evening would end as William accepted an invitation to join Eighties rocker Bon Jovi on stage, but insisting he would only do it if Swift came too.

On song: The Duke of Cambridge stunned guests at a charity dinner in Kensington Palace tonight as he jumped up on stage with Taylor Swift and Jon Bon Jovi for a rendition of Livin' On A Prayer

Last-minute preparation: As Bon Jovi belted out the verse of the song, and Swift danced alongside, William jokingly spruced himself up before the chorus

Top marks for effort: While the prince was clearly enjoying himself up on the stage, and Bon Jovi rattled through one of his band's biggest hits, Swift seemed determined to hive it her all

That was fun: Bon Jovi and William laugh after their efforts in the chorus of the classic hit. William is believed to have sung the song at his cousin Zara Tindall's wedding reception

More serious stuff: Bon Jovi and William pose for the cameras as the musician was presented with an award for his commitment to the Centrepoint charity

 

He actually does it! William SINGS with Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift

The trio then performed an acoustic version of the singer's hit Livin' On A Prayer in front of the 600 guests.
The performance took place inside a specially erected marquee for a concert compared by Jonathan Ross and kicked off by Eliza Dolittle, who thanked Prince William for 'letting us use his gaff tonight’!

Nice job: While William may not be ready for a Bon Jovi tour just yet, the two shook hands warmly after their impromptu song

Other acts included James Blunt and rapper Tinie Tempah, who adapted the words of his hit single Children Of The Sun to include a reference to Prince Harry’s notorious Las Vegas antics.
Star turn Taylor Swift electrified the audience with a performance of her hit singles Trouble and Fifteen.
She told the audience: ‘I’m Taylor, it is very nice to meet you, especially under these circumstances. It is my first time playing at Kensington Palace or any other palace for that matter.
'I have to thank you, Prince William, for having me. It’s amazing. To call attention to this age group especially, teens and young adults.'
She also sang her breakthrough hit Love Story, written when she was banned from going on a date at 17. She said: ‘This has reference to palaces, princes and princesses and it is very strange that I end up playing it in a palace.’
Speaking about performing at the gala earlier in the evening, Taylor said: 'I'm absolutely excited. I don't think I've ever played at a palace before, so it is really wonderful.'
It's safe to say that she hasn't belted out a Bon Jovi hit with a future king of England either - so it was a night of firsts for the 23-year-old singer.

Sorting out harmonies, perhaps? Swift and William met earlier during a drinks reception, but few fellow guests could have known they would end up on stage together

Generation game: Bon Jovi said he had met Prince Philip and Prince Charles, and was looking forward to meeting Prince George. Of Prince William, the singer said he thought he was 'a nice young kid'

'Inspiring': William poses with a group of children who have used the charity in the past. He said it was up to Centrepoint to help 'deserving young children'

She added: 'It's really wondrous, I think they've done an amazing job of putting this together.'
Describing her meeting with Prince William, she laughed: 'He was very funny. I was really happy he was funny.'

The pop princess was wearing a Reem Acra dress and carrying a clutch bag by Jenny Packham, the same designer who made the blue and white polka dot maternity dress Kate wore when bringing baby George out of hospital.
Jon Bon Jovi said meeting the Duke had not been an intimidating experience, as he had already met most of William's family: 'I met his father and I met his grandfather. He's still a young kid to me, but a nice young kid.'

Taylor Swift is charmed by Prince Willam at charity concert

After the performances and dinner the Prince met Centrepoint Ambassadors Sara Cox and Scott Mills

It wasn't just celebrities the Duke spoke to. He also shared a word or two with Gerry Glynn who was on hand to provide a sprinkle of fake snow during the evening

He added Prince George was the next generation for him to meet while saying he may try to convince William to get on stage.
William was known to have performed a karaoke version of Livin' On A Prayer at his cousin Zara Tindall’s wedding reception.
Guests paid at least £500 each to attend The Winter Whites Gala, which was held in aid of Centrepoint, a charity for youth homelessness.
The Duchess of Cambridge missed the event, kept busy looking after four-month-old George in the couple's 20-room apartment next door.
The palace itself was decked out in the style of a winter wonderland, with fake snow, fir trees and icicles.

Special occasion: Swift and Bon Jovi have their photo taken together in the King's Gallery. Swift said she was very excited by the event, because it was the first time she had performed in a palace

All about the children: Swift even found time to take a picture with Bon Jovi's children Romeo (left) and Jacob (right) before she was due on stage to perform later in the night

Prince William took to the stage at the end of the evening and couldn’t resist joking that he ‘felt a duet with Tinie Tempah coming on’, also quipping ‘that’s not the first time James Blunt has sung and dedicated Your Beautiful to me’.
But he stressed that despite the fun nature of the evening it was all about ‘those young people less fortunate than us, who, for reasons very often out of their own control, find themselves sleeping rough; not knowing where their next meal is coming from; without anyone to turn to; helpless.’
In a speech he said: ‘A few years ago at about this time of year, for one night only, I gave up the comfort of my bed and tried sleeping on the streets of London. That was just one night, and I knew I had a home waiting for me. Many others have no such comfort – the cold streets are the only reality they know.
‘After that night, the Chief Executive of Centrepoint, Seyi Obakin and I decided to set Centrepoint a very tough challenge: to end youth homelessness within a decade. We felt that this was an ambitious yet achievable goal, and one worth striving for. We are now several years into that decade, and Centrepoint has been working strenuously to achieve this ideal.
‘However, as I saw for myself last week when I visited a Centrepoint facility in Sunderland, the problems remain as acute as ever. Centrepoint knows it cannot succeed alone, which is why I am delighted to welcome so many here tonight who share with us the same ambition.
‘Tonight will move us all one step closer to helping these deserving young people, these inspiring young people who, given the right opportunities, can go on to achieve so much.
‘Our support, ladies and gentlemen, can allow them to secure themselves a bed, an education, a job, a future.’

A-listers: James Blunt, Bon Jovi, rapper Tinie Tempah and Eliza Doolittle provided the entertainment for the event, which set guests back at least £500 a head

Star guests: Actor Colin Firth and his wife Livia (left) were among the guests, along with TV presenter Jonathan Ross and his screenwriter wife Jane Goldman

Not ALL work: When not up on stage entertaining the guests, James Blunt enjoyed the night with his partner Sofia Wellesley, as did Eliza Doolittle and Tinie Tempah

Earlier in the day William was at London Zoo with his father, Prince Charles, to see the new tiger enclosure.
William and Charles both have a passion for conservation, and were launching a new project to try to halt the illegal trade in endangered animal products.
Prince Charles said he wanted to highlight the worrying increase in the trafficking of ivory and rhino horn as well as bush meat and live endangered species.
The zoo has two Sumatran tigers, a five-year-old male called Jae Jae and his mate, Melati, five, big cats who face an uncertain future in the wild.
Describing them as ‘beautiful and majestic’ creatures, William spoke about the United for Wildlife project, of which he is president.

Zoo visit: Earlier in the day William shared a joke with his father Prince Charles while on a visit to London Zoo to launch a new conversation project

That's close enough: Father and son are keen conservationists, and were at the zoo to promote a scheme aimed at stopping the trade in animal products, and protecting endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger

William spoke from the heart about his determination to get experts in ‘one room to focus their energy and their commitment to one cause - particularly obviously this illegal wildlife trade at the moment is such a big issue’.
‘The idea was that United For Wildlife can progress and we can really start the ball rolling and the momentum and really try and change and tackle this issue,’ he said.
The prince, who said he hopes to travel to Kenya next year to further his work, went on: ‘Education is the most important thing as we saw with the shark fin soup campaign - the more education, the more obviously we can put out there and show people and educate them on what they’re buying and what they’re seeing and really try and change their attitudes.
