Sam Faiers mum-shamed after fans spot detail that's ‘giving them nightmares' in new video with youngest son
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SAM Faiers has been mum-shamed after fans spotted a detail in a new video that's "giving them nightmares". Former Towie star Sam, 34, took to Instagram to share a clip of her at home with youngest son Edward, three. 3 Sam shared a new clip of her at home with youngest son Edward Credit: Instagram 3 But fans were horrified to spot a lit candle on the sofa with them Credit: Instagram 3 Sam is also mum to Paul and Rosie Credit: Instagram/@samanthafaiers She was seen on the sofa as the little one ran to jump into her arms. But followers were stunned when they spotted a lit candle on a tray next to Sam. One wrote: "Why is there a lit candle on the sofa with a child running around?" Another said: "That candle on the sofa is giving me anxiety." And a third added: "Im going to have nightmares tonight about that candle." Sam also shares son Paul, eight, and Rosie, six, with partner Paul Knightley. Earlier this year The Sun revealed Sam is set to reunite with sister Billie, 35, for a brand new series. Sam stepped away her former reality show The Mummy Diaries with Billie in 2021, after seven years on the screen. Billie then rebranded the long-running ITVBe series to The Family Diaries, but announced she was quitting the show last September to give her three children the chance to grow up away from the cameras. However the sisters are getting back together for a fresh format that will focus on their lives as entrepreneurs. Sam Faiers horrified at son Edward's 'damage' to home as she's heard yelling for sister Billie Faiers A source said: 'ITVBe viewers absolutely love Billie and Sam — there's a reason The Mummy Diaries ran for nine series, then Billie's Family Diaries for six, 'Of all the original Towie stars, they've kept a fiercely loyal fanbase for nearly 15 years and everyone was sad when Sam then Billie decided to call time on their fly-on-the-wall shows. 'The new series, which will air later this year, will look at motherhood from a different angle and be less about the kids and more about their careers and juggling their businesses."
