Sam, who shot to fame during her time on TOWIE, her partner Paul and their two children, Paul and Rosie, moved from Hertfordshire to Surrey in April 2020 into a house worth £2.25million, which the couple are reportedly paying £7,000 per month to rent.

It boasts five bedrooms, each of which comes with its own en-suite bathroom, so there's plenty of space to accommodate their new arrival when it's born in the spring!

Congratulations Sam and Paul.
