When we catch up with Sam Faiers, the chatty and warm star is on her way home from filming scenes for her fly-on-the-wall family show The Mummy Diaries.
“At the moment it’s pretty much every day,” she tells us while in the car with Paul Knightley, her boyfriend of five years. “We had to quarantine when we got home from Spain, so we’re playing catch-up for the next couple of weeks.”
Sam, 29, and Paul, 32, have certainly been busy – they recently moved into a beautiful home in Surrey with their children Little Paul, four, and Rosie, two. They’ve decided to rent for a few months while they look for a forever home close to the primary school where Little Paul will go next month. How time flies!
Chat soon turns to the future and it isn’t long before Sam is sharing her wedding plans with us. But don’t expect the couple to have a extravagant bash like Sam’s older sister Billie and her husband Greg Shepherd in 2019. Sam and “private” Paul are thinking much smaller scale.
While questions about TOWIE and next month’s 10-year reunion are off limits, Sam is happy to talk about other TV shows she’d like to take part in and I’m A Celeb is the top of her wish list. “I’m a really outdoorsy person,” she tells us. “All that stuff is right up my street.”
Here, Sam opens up to new about her dreams for her big day, their plans for baby number three and why she thinks her latest venture could go global…
Hi Sam, how are you enjoying your new Surrey home?
