She said: 'I’ve never been self-conscious. OK, I’m not stick-thin or toned, but it’s not a big thing for me. A year ago I was a size 8. Now I’m a year older and comfortable in my relationship, so I’ve gained some weight and I’m a size 10.'
Sam, who is 5ft 6 and whose weight fluctuates between 9 and 10stone, added: 'We both love our food and when I have time off, I want to spend it relaxing with Joey, not exercising.
'It’s our busy lifestyle, too, grabbing sandwiches and takeaways.'
