Closer Summer Body: Sam Faiers shares her incredible diet and lifestyle secrets

How are you finding this season of TOWIE?

I can’t bear missing out on the gossip. I love to know what’s going on, I hate being behind.

When you’re watching the drama and the tears and the arguments, like I just think it’s so good to not be there. It’s what makes the show amazing and what it is, but it can be really stressful. You know, it plays on your mind a lot when you’ve got a big scene coming up. I think it’s nice to sit back and relax and watch it for once.

I speak to Billie everyday and see her nearly everyday, so I kinda know what she’s getting up to in her scenes. I love watching her and Nellie on it and all the girls, like Jess, Ferne and Gemma… and Arg! I can’t believe how amazing Arg looks. He looks so good. I saw him a few weeks ago.

We spoke over Christmas, when he was in rehab and having a general chitchat conversation and when I watched him on the show last night I was so proud. He seems to have got his head clear and he knows what he wants to do now and what he wants and I think it was just amazing for him and all his friends are just so proud, we all are. The thing is Arg can be a right pain in the arse but we also love Arg a lot.

He can be all those things but he’s one of those people that will do anything for you. He is genuinely really nice, even though he can be a bit of a gossip, a bit unreliable. I think now he’s sort of changed himself around, so it’s great.

Would you ever return to do a one off special?

Who knows, I’m the type of person that says ‘never say never’ but when I left it was onwards and upwards, but at this moment in time I don’t want to look back. I want to keep going in my direction with Celebrity Training.

Would you ever have your own reality show, is that something that has ever crossed your mind?

That would be amazing actually. Growing up and stuff, I always liked watching programs with Gok Wan or Trinny and Susannah. I’d love to do something like that, with Billie and I to doing a big health, fashion style make overs, like if people wanted help with their fitness or fashion.

I’ve got my collection with Very as well… something like that, like Trinny or Susannah, would be amazing.

We have to ask about Nelly because she’s just so cute…

Oh, she’s gorgeous. I haven’t seen her for a little while, where I’ve been working, I was away and I got home and I went round to see Billie. She got really excited; we couldn’t stop laughing!

She was like hysterical laughing and she was cuddling me, like putting her head into my chest… we were laughing so much. She’s genuinely missed me, because I haven’t seen her in 10 days. I usually see her everyday… it’s so nice that she knows who I am. She’s so lovely.

Are you feeling broody?

Well, I’m not. Naturally, everyone thinks that I am and I would be. I’ve loved children all my life, so I’ve always been the one who wanted a family. I wanted a married life and I wanted a big family. If I can, I want a big family. At the moment, it’s amazing being an auntie and I’m so busy with my career.

I see her every day and it’s lovely but I see how hard it is as well. It’s not easy being a parent, especially where Billie is juggling filming and working and with Nelly. It changes your whole life, I can’t wait for that day-but not just yet. I don’t want to leave it too late, but not yet.
