Sam, who shares son Paul, five, and Rosie, four, with partner Paul Knightley, could not contain her emotions in one of the videos, as she met with children from the orphanage and kissed and cuddled the tots.

Sweet: Sam doted on the orphans during the trip
Her love: She was beaming with emotion during the trip
Back in 2019, Sam donated a percentage of all her earnings to children’s charity Outreach Moldova after being moved by a ‘life-changing’ trip she took to the Eastern European country in November that year.
Sam and Luisa were motivated to set up a JustGiving page after carrying out their philanthropic work in Moldova and seeing firsthand the children Outreach Moldova vows to support.
Recalling the emotional visit, Sam said: ‘The trip to Outreach Moldova was life-changing and really brought home for me how fortunate we are.
Sam then promised to personally donate a percentage of all her earnings to the charity, which Luisa has been working with for the last five years, and vowed to continue her fundraising efforts next year.
