Former The Only Way Is Essex star Sam Faiers has announced some exciting news, she's expecting her second child with her partner** **Paul Knightley.

Sam, who is already a mum to her son Paul, announced her happy news on Instagram by posting a cute photo.

Congratulations! 👶

Sam and Paul welcomed their first child into the world on the 29th December in 2015, the couple announced the news via a cute snap on social media.

Sharing a photo of baby Paul's hand, Sam wrote, 'Welcome to the world our beautiful baby boyđź’™ 29.12.15'.

After revealing the name Paul Tony, Sam was forced to defend herself after receiving some harsh criticism from trolls about the name.

Sam decided to name Paul after his father and uncle, but some users on social media mocked the name, with one commenting that it sounded like a 'middle aged man's name'.

Clearly furious, Sam posted a fan's tweet defending her and captioned the screenshot with, 'Couldn't have put this in better words myself. Thank you x'.

Paul is now one and half, meaning Sam is going to have two children under the age of two when her new baby arrives later in the year.

Sam has previously opened up about wanting more children with Paul. The reality star, who has her own reality show called The Mummy Diaries, recently told Closer Magazine that she would like to have 'five or six kids'.

Sam is also extremely close to her sister and former TOWIE co-star Billie Faiers. Billie has two children, two-year-old daughter Nelly and her son Arhur, who she welcomed with her fiancé Greg Shepherd earlier this year.

Sam and Billie often post cute photos of their children on their social accounts and recently enjoyed a family holiday together.

Sam and Paul's baby is expected to arrive later this year.
