Sam Faiers was sharpening her elbows when sister Billie got ready to throw her bouquet in the Maldives recently.
In new pictures from inside the wedding reception, mum-of-two Sam looked poised to fight for the flowers after almost five years with boyfriend Paul Knightley.
Sam deliberately hiked up her skirt and outstretched her arms to push pals including Ferne McCann to one side and catch the sought-after bridal bouquet.
Ready, set, GO! Billie Faiers shared the moment that sister Sam tried to fight to catch the bridal bouquet at the Shepherds' Maldives wedding
Posting the hilarious moment, Billie said: 'Ready... Set... GO GO GO... One of the funniest moments... Eyes on the prize / elbows at the ready.'
The age-old wedding superstition suggests that the person to catch the bouquet at a wedding will be the next to get married.
