Sam Faiers mortified on Abu Dhabi flight as partner disturbs passengers by shouting

Sam Faiers has revealed that her recent flight to Abu Dhabi didn't go as smoothly as she had planned thanks to her long-term partner, Paul Knightley.

The former TOWIE star, 32, recently enjoyed a luxury trip to the United Arab Emirates with Paul, their three children Paul Jnr, 6, Rosie, 5, and six-month-old Edward.

Also joining them on their luxury getaway was Sam's sister, Billie, her husband Greg Shepherd, and their three children, Nelly, 8, Arthur, 5, and their baby girl, Margot.

Lifting the lid on their family holiday, Sam and Billie recalled the best and worst parts of their recent trip - with Sam explaining that she found the flight to and from Abu Dhabi the most stressful.

The mum-of-three was left mortified when her long-term partner Paul continuously shouted while watching a football match on the way home from Abu Dhabi, with one passenger letting their frustration be known by sending dirty looks Paul's way.

On the most recent episode of their podcast, namely, The Billie And Sam Show, the former TOWIE star recalled: "There was a man next to me that was kind of shaking his head. He was shaking his head at big Paul.

"On the way home, Arsenal was playing - it was quite a big game and you can watch it live from the flight. And I think it was 2 nil down or something and we got two goals and it was intense. So it was like a really mad, intense game.

"Everytime we were scoring, Paul was making this really loud shout and yelling 'yeah, go on, get in!'.

"In the end I told him that he had to stop doing it. People were trying to relax and the man next to us was fuming about it. He was shaking his head and I think it made him jump."

Sam went to to explain that her youngest child, Edward, also had a tough time on the flight back from Abu Dhabi, with the tot only sleeping for 30 minutes out of the eight-hour flight.
