She continued: ‘Five years later, he’s starting to be a bit more comfortable on camera, you see a new side, really confident, nice for people to see the real Paul. He’s a little bit camera shy, I suppose.’
Talking about how their relationship has coped in lockdown, Sam admitted that it has been really good and they have cherished the family time.
She said: ‘I just think we cherished the time, life is such a whirlwind. We’re always busy with the kids and working, it’s nice to break for a minute with no commitments apart from the children.
Eek! To which she admitted: I hope so – two kids, five years, two big moves together. I hope so soon!’

In the past, the star revealed that she and partner Paul are constantly pressurised by fans to get married, but they don’t let the comments bother them.
Emotional: Talking about the milestone, Sam said: ‘I am really excited, I think I’m going to cry my eyes out, but he’s going to really love it.’
Sam told MailOnline: ‘I actually don’t [feel pressurised]. I know everyone asks all the time, especially since Billie and Greg got married – it’s been more heightened. It’s really not top of my priorities.
‘I always say to Paul, he’s not anyway, but I always say: “Don’t every feel pressure” and he’s like “No, I don’t.”
‘I do look forward to when it does happen as it will be a whole new chapter for our lives. I don’t mind that it’s not happening right now as I’m really busy and I’ve got it to look forward to.

‘We’ve just done Billie and Greg’s wedding, a big build up, so that was epic then I think we’ve got it all again to come. I think I’m alright holding off for a bit, it’s exciting times ahead.’
And when asked whether she would ever document her wedding on the series, Sam admitted: ‘I haven’t even thought about it, personally for me, it’s part of my life, I’ve done it forever.
‘I don’t know, it’s just Paul… whether it’s a decision Paul and I would have to make together.’
