Sam Faiers hints her sex life with boyfriend Paul Knightley is struggling since giving birth
The couple sleep with son baby Paul in their bed...leaving little room for sexy time
SAM Faiers has hinted her sex life with boyfriend Paul Knightley is under strain since giving birth to their son.
The former Towie star documented the couple heading out to buy a new bed in episode two of The Mummy Diaries, insisting they need more space as their six-month-old son baby Paul also sleeps with them.
But when asked if the decision to let their son share their bed had affected "sexy time", Sam didn't know how to respond.
After a long pause as she tried to muster up something to say, she eventually replied with an embarrassed giggle: "I don't know how to answer it".
The 25-year-old admitted her little boy hogs the bed most nights, but instead of getting him a separate cot, the couple had decided to get an even bigger bed instead.
Sam explained: "Baby Paul ends up in bed with us, I would say nine out of ten nights.
"I love having him in bed cuddling up with us."

However big Paul isn't as keen on snuggling in the bedroom as his son is, with Sam adding: "When we stay in hotels, we are nowhere near each other in bed.
"To be fair, Big Paul doesn't like to cuddle or anything in the mornings. He likes his space in bed."
However, the possible lack of intimacy in the bedroom could get in the way of the star's plans to have a big family one day, with Sam previously admitting she wants four children with Paul.
"I will wait a couple of years before getting pregnant again, as motherhood is a big adjustment, but I would like four children. I can't wait to have another.
"I can't imagine not having a baby in the house now. What did I do before? It's like he was always there. Your whole life changes."
However, the episode also documented Sam's struggles with baby Paul as he started to teeth, with footage showing her breastfeeding regularly throughout the night while lying in bed.
