Sam: ‘I train three times a week’
She gave birth to S her second baby less than a year ago, but Sam Faiers looked sensational in a bikini as she soaked up the sunshine in Sardinia last week. The former TOWIE star – who is mum to Paul Tony, two, and ten-month-old Rosie with her boyfriend of four years, Paul Knightly, 30 – admitted on Instagram in January that it was harder to slim back down after having baby number two.
But the star – who was a size 8 pre-pregnancy – recently revealed that she was back in the gym, adding, “I started training three times a week with a personal trainer two months ago… I like toning exercises, swimming and team sports.”
When it comes to surgery, Sam insists she’s steered clear, recently admitting, “I’ve never had any cosmetic surgery myself, I quite like the thought of growing old gracefully and I’m at a completely different stage of my life now, where I’m enjoying thinking more about health, lifestyle and family.”
The 27 year old has suffered with health issues in the past and was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2014, after her weight plummeted to 7st. But the star recently revealed that pregnancy, along with an anti-inflammatory diet, has eased her symptoms over the years. She said, “When I was pregnant with Paul, I felt the best I ever had in my life (not sure why, but pregnancy really did help), and that’s something I was concerned about… I am so grateful I am off all medication.”
