Sam Faiers mum-shamed after fans spot detail that's ‘giving them nightmares' in new video with youngest son
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 3 3 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."

Soap star hits back as she's mum-shamed for ‘making sure her kids are bullied' over racy pics
SARAH Jayne Dunn has hit back after being mum-shamed for 'making sure her kids are bullied' over her racy pics. The former soap star, who played Mandy Richardson on Hollyoaks from 1996 to 2021, famously left the show after being issued an ultimatum by furious bosses. 7 They ordered her to quit adult subscription site OnlyFans, where she was flogging risque shots, or be axed. While she's been making big money on the platform, having claimed to have taken home £700,000 in 2022, Sarah has found herself the target of cruel trolling. Taking to Instagram to confront her latest bully, she sarcastically responded to their nasty comment. The follower had written: "Yeah why not just make sure your kids get bullied because of your content just so you can get a little validation from people you don't know, good idea." But Sarah - who shares son Stanley, nine, with her husband Jonathan Smith - made sure to clap back with humour, pretending to read a positive one in a get-ready-with-me video. With the aforementioned jibe shown on the screen, she instead read: "Thanks for your inspiring content. Your son is really lucky to have a mom like you that loves him so much. Please show us some more of your outfits." Sarah then enthused: "Of course I will! What a kind, kind comment. Thank you. I will happily show you another outfit," before proceding to talk her fans through what she had been wearing. The actress quit the Channel 4 soap for a career on OnlyFans three years ago. Hollyoaks said it doesn't allow cast members to be active on certain 18+ websites because of the show's responsibility to its young audience. Axed Hollyoaks star reveals she's now a pole dancing teacher as she shows off her moves in thong and high heels Speaking about posting on OnlyFans before, Sarah said it was "about taking back control, about empowerment and confidence and having full power over my choices". More recently, Sarah revealed her new job after quitting the soap, and will be teaching her first ever pole class. Sharing images of herself pole dancing, the actress penned: 'I'm excited and terrified in equal measure… because very soon, I'll be stepping into a whole new challenge- teaching my first beginners' pole class! 'Pole has been a huge part of my life for over two years now. I first found it just after lockdown, a little before turning 41, when I was looking for something fun, but challenging. 'From the very first spin, I was hooked. What started as a way to move and push myself has become so much more- strength, confidence, and a whole new community of incredible, supportive people who lift each other up (literally!).' 7 7 Sarah continued: 'I've recently started 1:1 training with a new pole coach, and I can already feel myself improving in ways I never expected. 'Pole is as tough as it is beautiful, what looks effortless takes an insane amount of strength, control, and resilience. But that's what I love about it. Every move mastered feels like a little victory, and there's always a new challenge to take on. 'Now, I'm about to take the next step, sharing everything I've learned with others. My beginner's classes will be for absolute newbies or anyone wanting to go back to basics! 'I'll be teaching at the same studio where my journey began too which is exciting @PoleGymholmeschapel, and I can't wait to help others discover just how empowering pole can be.' Sarah showed off her toned physique in the carousel of images, as she promoted her new pole class. She worte a sparkly leotard and had her hair in a colourful plait as she revealed her pole skills for her fans. One person commented: 'These photos are mind boggling @sarahjaynedunn they're full of warrior woman power and I love them! You'll be amazing. You've excelled at this and been so determined. All the joys!' Someone else penned: 'Wow you look incredible Sarah, I remember when you first started, amazing how far you've come. So pleased for you, all the best for your next chapter.' And another added: 'You will be wonderful we just know it. Our gorgeous girl who can achieve anything she puts her mind to.' It's not the first time that Sarah has shown off her sensational figure in a skimpy pole dancing outfit. The star has been praised for her toned body after completely transforming her physique. She looked ageless as she shared a series of photographs after working out and doing some intense pole dancing. "My knees have almost recovered," Sarah penned in the caption of her sizzling set of snaps, revealing that she suffered some pain after her intense work out sessions. She went on to add: "If you missed my stories last month, I had the BEST workshop with @dapnelux, is was a HUGE challenge- those moves were FAST, especially tying them all together to music!" Sarah added: "I left feeling tired but inspired to sign up for more workshops this year with this wonderful community of supportive women. "I've got much further to go before I'm anywhere near as slick as Daphne (although she has been at it much longer than me!) but what an inspiration!" One fan remarked: "You look absolutely amazing. Your body shape has changed so much. Great job." A second said: "I can't believe how much your physic has changed! Looking fab!" 7 7
