Sam Faiers’ boyfriend Paul Knightley reveals he STILL kisses his mum on the lips as the couple appear in first-ever joint interview
The 29-year-old came in for some lip for kissing mum Gaynor on the mouth during a 2016 episode of The Mummy Diaries
SAM Faiers' boyfriend Paul Knightley admitted he still kisses mum Gaynor on the lips on today's This Morning.
The 29-year-old famously came in for criticism when he pecked his mum on the mouth during an episode of The Mummy Diaries two years ago.
In his first-ever joint interview with Sam, Paul revealed that he'll always kiss Gaynor on the lips.
Speaking to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Paul said: "I don't find anything wrong with it. I'm really close with my mum. It's just something I've always done and will always continue to do.
"I even kiss my son and my daughter on the lips, it's just something we do. I didn't find it strange."
The kiss, which took place in 2016, saw viewers flood Twitter with comments after the intimate moment came as they talked about him becoming a father for the first time.
At the time Celebrity Big Brother housemate Chloe Goodman said: “All that was missing was the tongue? anyone else? #babydiaries”
One said: “Sam Faiers boyfriend awkward kiss with his MUM!!!! Did anyone else see this?”
Another shocked viewer added: “Just watched the Sam faiers programme. Her boyfriend and his mother are very creepy… Strange relationship.”
The couple also revealed they still sleep in separate beds, after beginning the experiment during pregnancy, to ensure they get a good night's sleep - but that doesn't mean they don't have their intimate moments.
Sam sleeps with their daughter Rosie and Paul with Paul Jr and the pair said it "works for us".
They also confirmed their desire to marry in the future but Paul insisted that was still a way off and he would be the one going down on one knee.
