The 24-year-old reality star already spends a lot of time with Paul Knightley - who she has been dating for nine months - so the couple will take the next step with their relationship once she has completed renovations on her home.

Paul said: "My flat is in Woodford but we're with each other all the time."

Sam added to OK! magazine: "It's not like he officially lives with me, but he's always at mine and it's really comfortable. I'm just about to get an extension put on my house and once that's done he'll move in. In the future we'll buy a house together."

Though Sam and Paul wish they had met earlier, they also feel thankful they didn't get together while she was still on 'The Only Way is Essex' as it would have had a negative impact on their romance.

Sam said: "It wouldn't have worked if I'd met Paul when I was on 'TOWIE'. You can't have a relationship and be on that show - particularly if you are single and they want you to have an on-screen romance."

While they have only been together for nine months, the couple have already discussed marriage and children.

Sam said: "I can see marriage as a possibility. To be honest, we talk about kids more than we do marriage, but as a couple we want the whole package."
