Shaughna, 28, who is due to give birth in March, was left feeling "shocked" after Billy was arrested.

A source told OK! magazine: “Shaughna hasn’t had any contact with Billy since his arrest.

"She is trying to focus on her baby.”

They said that the reality star was left "blindsided" by recent events.

Police allegedly recovered cocaine and MDMA before a follow-up search at a nearby address revealed a larger haul of illicit substances.

Shaughna could be now be left without Webb when she gives birth after he was remanded in custody.

A rep for the reality star told The Sun: "Shaughna had absolutely no knowledge of any activity involving the allegations against Billy.

"Despite being in a long term relationship with the defendant, Shaughna has no links with the address in question, and will be openly assisting the police with their enquiries.

"We kindly ask the public to be mindful of the imminent birth of Shaughna’s baby and allow her some privacy during this difficult and stressful time."

Webb has been charged with one count of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and one count of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.

If found guilty, the real estate agent could face up to 16 years in jail.

Webb was pictured for the first time alongside Shaughna after jetting back to the UK from California earlier this month - where the pair had enjoyed a romantic holiday.

But just one day after the pair were snapped hand-in-hand at Heathrow, Billy was arrested after cops recovered multiple bags of white powder.

Webb was arrested and charged alongside a 78-year-old man, William Bowen.

The revelation leaves ITV star Shaughna facing the final weeks of her first pregnancy without her baby’s father at her side.

A source close to Webb said: “The idea she may have to give birth without him because of his arrest is heartbreaking.

“He knew she was having a baby and it’s stupid of him to get arrested like this so close to the due date.

“He’s been paranoid for a while about the prospect of police getting involved.

“If he misses the birth of his child he’ll only have himself to blame.”

The couple announced Shaughna’s pregnancy last October in an emotional Instagram post, vowing to make the arrival of their child “our greatest chapter yet”.

She previously claimed she would name the child Billy if she has a boy, in honour of her boyfriend.
