==Early/Personal Life==
Billy was born to Joanne Lott and Ataubaq Khan on 24th May 1993. He has two older sisters; Amira (24) and Yasmin (21) and a younger brother Deneil (17). At the age of 4, Billy and his siblings were taken into care at a local foster home as his parents split up. His mother couldn't cope financially with the children and his father fled the country. He and his three fellow siblings were adopted after spending 1 year in the home however Billy was sent back as his new family couldn't handle his problem behaviour. He was then adopted again at the age of 7 but returned to the home a month later. In 2001, at the age of 8, he was took on by a third family who looked after him for 7 months before being given up again. When he turned 16, his mother took him back home. Billy now lives in the Weekend complex, with his wife Andrea Khan [Mason].
Being a pupil at a performing arts school that his foster home paid for and sent him to, he isn't shy and loves to perform. Billy has written numerous scripts and songs in his spare time.
Billy has also been a member of several failed bands. Two of which were a boy band and one was a mixture of males and females. The second band he was a member of; 'Lights' came closest to fame as they were signed to a label but were dropped a month later as the label went bust.
Billy also did some modelling for a catalogue and soon became a photographer's favourite due to his 'exotic looks' and 'sexy expressions'. He quit modelling after only a brief 5 month stint as one photographer tried to persuade Billy to pose naked which he refused to do. After that he stated that he felt he was becoming and object and does not like to be told what to do.
He has also admitted he has been smoking for nearly five years (since the age of 14).
Billy and Andrea married on July 11th 2012. The wedding is reported to have cost around £1million which Billy paid for by himself. He also hired BCStyle&Co. to design the outfits and wedding dress. On September 6th 2012, naked photos that he sent to former boss, Mykaylah, back in February 2012, leaked onto the internet.
==Personality==
Billy is known for his very stubborn personality and his habbit of expressing dislikes of people in public. He is also known as being very vain and loving the material things in life.
The most famous examples of his strong personality are the heated debates he's gotten into with fellow musicians such as AJ Williams, Serenity Scott, Ally Levesque, Scott Rose-Hilton and even fellow band member, Oscar Ward.
