Sam announced the news in an Instagram post where she posted a black and white picture of her with partner Paul Knightley and her two children kissing her baby bump. Sweet or what!

She added as the caption: "Soon to be a family of 5 ❤️

We have a spring baby on the way ☺️🤰🏽

We’re so happy and feeling blessed 🙏❤️

ps keeping this little one a surprise 💙💖?"

The final line of her caption implies that the couple may be choosing to keep the sex of the baby a surprise instead of asking for the information while she is still pregnant.

The family also hinted at an expected due date with the third little one set to be a "spring baby".

After TOWIE, Sam finished in fifth place on Celebrity Big Brother and chronicled her journey as a new mum in a one-off special Sam Faiers: The Baby Diaries which later blossomed into Sam & Billie: The Mummy Diaries where Sam was joined by her sister Billie as Sam navigated family life alongside her career.

However, Sam decided she wanted to take a break from reality TV earlier this year, marking the end of The Mummy Diaries. However, Billie will continue filming her own show, The Family Diaries, with husband Greg Shepherd.

Billie took to Instagram to discuss her sister leaving the show: "What an incredible journey it has been 🥰❤️ filming with my sister and family for the past 7 years has been the most wonderful experience and we truly have made the BEST memories all together."

We're sending all our love to the family and wishing Sam a happy and healthy pregnancy!
