What backlash has Paul Knightley faced on The Mummy Diaries?

Paul has a very close relationship with his mum Gaynor which has been well documented on The Mummy Diaries.

Viewers were left feeling awkward during a scene where he kissed his mum on the lips.

But Sam was quick to defend her boyfriend by taking to social media to ask people to stop giving him a hard time.

She wrote: “Wow Paul really is getting some stick. I wish people wouldn’t look into it so much. It’s just a tv show edited & made for good viewing."
