Fans of the celeb mum were surprised at how slim she looks for how far along she is.

Many were comparing their own bumps with Sam's, saying theirs look so much bigger: 'wish I looked like this right now 🙈 over half way!!', one wrote.

Another commented: 'How is it possible that you look so amazing. I look so crappy whilst pregnant.'

The Only Way is Essex star announced the happy news last week on her Instagram account, sharing a snap of herself holding the couple's son, Paul, and showing off her growing bump.

'Words can't describe how excited we are to meet you baby 👶❤ We love you soo much already. #babynumber2 #2under2,' she wrote alongside the sweet picture.

'I knew it!!!!' another exclaimed. 'you are making me want another one 😭 congrats to you and Paul and can't wait to see baby P be a big brother ❤️❤️❤️'

Sam and Paul have been dating since 2014 after meeting at a restaurant in Chigwell, and confirmed that they were expecting their first child together in August of the following year.

'We were both really excited and happy,' she said to OK! magazine at the time. 'It was like a nervous excitement and a shock – it took a while for it to sink in. It was something that we wanted.'

'We spoke about it for a quite a bit and then it just happened. It was instant,' Paul agreed.

In December 2015, the pair welcomed baby Paul Tony, and have since been documenting their parenting journey on Sam's ITVBe series, The Baby Diaries and The Mummy Diaries.

The 26-year-old has made no secret of her desire to expand their family, most recently telling Closer magazine: 'I'd love to have more babies! Paul and I want five or six kids in the end.

'I want one soon as I think two years is a nice age gap.'
