Sam’s sister Billi commented that she was “so excited to be an aunt again”, while Lauren Goodger and Chloe Meadows also wrote congratulatory messages.

The couple became parents in 2020, with the birth of their son Abel.

At the time, Sam said: “Juggling filming three days a week and trying to manage my various work commitments, it was no longer viable for me to continue with the show.
