Pregnant Sam Faiers shows off bump at ITV Palooza after confirming third baby on the way

Sam Faier 's baby bump made a debut appearance on the blue carpet on Tuesday night.

The former TOWIE star announced earlier in the day that she would be welcoming a 'spring baby' with her partner Paul Knightley.

Sam, 30, looked stunning in a frilled black minidress as she attended the swanky ITV event at London's Royal Festival Hall.

The mum-of-two completed her look with minimal accessories - wearing a pair of strappy gold heels and diamanté encrusted black leather handbag.

The pregnant star and Paul - whom she began dating in 2014 - beamed for the cameras on the blue carpet, just hours after sharing their happy news with the world.

Before heading out to the event, Sam took to her Instagram page to give her fans a glimpse of her stunning outfit for the evening.

The Mummy Diaries star thanked her glam squad, as she shared some snaps of her look and acknowledge the reaction to her baby news.

"All dressed up," she began her caption - adding a pregnant woman emoji.

"Feeling very festive. Thank you so much for all of your kind messages today [praying hands emoji] feeling very grateful, thank you thank you, love you all."

After weeks of speculation, Sam confirmed on Tuesday that she is currently pregnant with her third child.

The star's followers had been expecting a baby announcement from the mum-of-two, after some strategically posed holiday snaps left them convinced she was hiding a growing bump.

Posting to her 2.5million followers on Instagram, Sam shared a sweet black and white snap of her two young children kissing her baby bump - with dad-to-be Paul looking on proudly.

"Soon to be a family of 5," she said in the caption.

"We have a spring baby on the way. We’re so happy and feeling blessed."

Sam and Paul are already doting parents to Paul Tony Knightley, five, and Rosie Knightley, who recently turned four.

Speaking on her Instagram Stories in January this year, the Essex-born babe was quizzed by fans about whether she'd like to give young Paul and Rosie another sibling.

During a candid Q&A, one follower asked the the star: "Do you like the age gap between your kids? And would you want bigger if you had 2 more?"

Sam replied with a sweet snap of her two kids, writing: "Paul and Rosie are just under 2 years apart."

"Personally I found it a little difficult in the early days as I was breastfeeding Rosie whilst Paul was still in nappies and wanting my attention a lot."

The now pregnant star teased: "I wouldn’t change it for the world. But when we have more I think it would be maybe next year? Who knows.. @PaulKnightley."

In 2019, Sam expressed her desire to celebrate her 30th birthday before falling pregnant once again.

The star - who turns 31 next month - explained that she was keen to have more children but was in no particular rush.

“I am turning 30 at the end of this year. I really want to see my 30th in with a big bang, and then maybe after that," she admitted when probed about her plans for a third child.
