FORMER Towie star Samantha Faiers has revealed she is pregnant with her third child.

The 30-year-old reality star, who has stayed silent on rumours she is expecting for weeks, said she was "so happy and feeling blessed".

Sam shared a sweet black and white image of her alongside her boyfriend Paul Knightley and their two children.

Son Paul Jr, five, and daughter Rosie, four, are shown kissing her baby bump while the pair looked on smiling.

The star explained in the announcement that they would be keeping the child's gender under wraps.

She, famous for her Mummy Diaries series, wrote on Instagram: "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 💙💖?."

They were congratulated by friends including Gemma Collins, 40, who wrote: "Whoop whoop so happy for you guys congratulations ❤️."

Mum-of-one Ferne McCann, 31, added: "💙💗💙💗💙💗💙💗 sooooooo excited."

Love Island's Amber Davis who said: "Oh Sam I had a feeling!!! I am so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️."

Fans have suspected the reality star might be pregnant for weeks – especially after she was shown covering her tummy in her holiday snaps on a recent trip to Dubai.

She also opted for a large hoodie on a fundraising trip to an orphanage in Moldova earlier this month.

Sam and Paul have been an item since 2014, getting together in the wake of Sam's break-up from fellow reality favourite Joey Essex.

The Sun revealed in June that she was stepping down from her ITV show The Mummy Diaries to take a break from the cameras.

Her sister Billie, 31, decided to continue filming her own show, The Family Diaries, with husband Greg Shepherd, focusing on refurbishing her lavish £1.4million Essex mansion.

Mum-of-two Sam, who has filmed nine series, said: “After many months of consideration, I've decided that now feels like the right time to step away and to focus on new adventures."
