Sam Faiers says she hasn't slept with partner Paul 'in a very long time'

Sam Faiers says she can't remember the last time she shared a bed with her partner Paul Knightley.

The TOWIE legend, 31, says it's been a "long time" since they got to cuddle up together as she prioritises their growing family, which now includes little Edward.

The baby, who arrived in the world in May, is a sibling for Sam and Paul’s eldest children, Paul Jr, four, and Rosie, six.

There's plenty of room-hopping going on - and she says she prefers bed time with the little ones as Paul is a bit of a snorer!

The pair sleep in separate places and she says they will do whatever is needed to make sure they both get enough sleep with a frantic household.

At the moment, Sam co-sleeps with newborn Edward in the spare room of their family home in Cobham, Surrey.

Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "In our household, anything goes.

"We sleep in whatever beds to make sure everyone gets a good night's sleep. Paul and I are so close anyway.

"We spend most of our days together and do everything together, but we don't share a bed and haven't for a long time.

"It's funny because before Edward was born we had one night to ourselves where we shared a bed.

"I was really tired and wanted to sleep, and he wanted the telly on late - he had some football to catch up on so the room was bright green.

"And he's on his phone, then when he goes to sleep he's snoring. I was like: actually I much prefer sleeping with the kids!"

Announcing the birth to her 2.5 million Instagram followers earlier this summer, the ex-The Mummy Diaries star shared a sweet photo.

She captioned the post: "No words can describe how in love we are with you baby boy. I honestly can’t explain my feelings right now.

"Mummy loves you more than you could ever imagine. In our baby bubble currently. be back soon".

Prior to giving birth to her third baby, Sam told her followers: “We have the birthing pool ready to go.

“Baby grows have been washed and mentally preparing myself for months & months of sleepless nights (I’m pretty sure the weeing all night & broken sleep is to get us ready for when the baby needs feeding in the night).

“My world is about to change again for the third time. I can’t help but keep thinking, who are you little one? Who will you look like? Will you be a boy or girl? What will you be when you grow up?”
