Sam Faiers ‘overcomes concerns’ showing off baby bump in candid swimsuit selfie

Sam Faiers, 31, hugged her baby bump and shared a bikini snap with fans on Instagram.

Sam Faiers proudly showed off her blossoming baby bump to fans after admitting she thought twice about posting the revealing picture.

The mum, who is expecting her third baby, said she was considering showing the world a photo of her in a striped bikini but decided to hug her growing bump.

During a visit to the spa, Sam soaked up some 19th-century sunshine as a Mother’s Day gift from her partner, Paul Knightley.

Posing in the mirror, the 31-year-old wrote: “I was thinking about posting this from today… but then I thought… actually I love my pregnant body. This body cooked 2 almost 3 beautiful babies.

“My greatest achievements in life,” she added.

“I love life today. I’ve been a little grumpy this week to be honest,” she wrote while reclining in a lounge chair.

She thanked Paul for “getting the hint” that she needed a day off.

Sam ate a pepperoni pizza thick with cheese while the spring sun shone down.

The former TOWIE star revealed she had finally completed her dream home in Cobham, Surrey.

Sam, Paul and their two children Paul, six, and Rosie, four, had rented a £7,000-a-month house while they waited.

A source exclusively told MailOnline: “Sam and Paul have been looking for the perfect family home for some time and while they plan to completely refurbish the property, their new home is perfect for a growing family.”

“The fenced lot is private and has lots of land.”

She recently showed her 2.4 million followers the expansive garden of her new home.

Sam and the family are now enjoying endless fields around their new home.

“Walked over to the new house. I still can’t believe this land is ours.

“My dream has always been to buy a house with land in the countryside.”

“So we had some moles in our yard and our fence fell over in the storm. As you can see this is the paddock, it’s not in too bad shape.”

The influencer, who has left her long-running ITV show The Mummy Diaries, is set to give birth in the spring.

Her sister Billie, whose show Billie & Greg: The Family Diaries returned to screens yesterday, said she has no plans to have another baby any time soon.

She said her children Nelly, six, and Arthur, four, keep asking when they have a new brother or sister.

“I’m so excited that my sister is having a third baby. I feel like we haven’t had a baby in the family for so long. So I’m very happy that she’s going to be a mother again and I’m going to be an aunt again. And yes, it’s just amazing, such nice news.”

“From then on, I just didn’t have it on and on,” says Billie. “Mom, when are you having a baby?” Literally non-stop.”

She added, “But because the kids fight so much I sometimes think to myself, should I have another baby in the mix, I’m not sure that’s the best idea at the moment.”
