She loves nothing more than being with her three young children, but former TOWIE star Sam Faiers was showing the strain last week after taking a break from social media to get her life admin back in order.

The overwhelmed reality star – who has admitted she’s feeling “really tired” following the birth of her second son, Edward, four months ago – previously explained she was taking a “mini break” to “concentrate on getting the kids settled back into school, get my house back in some sort of order, kick-start some exercise/healthy eating and have some early nights”.
