'Sam Fairs got stick for flying first class – but she deserves it!', says Frankie Essex

Frankie Essex has come to Sam Faiers' defence after her fellow former TOWIE star was criticised for flying her young family first class.

Sam is proud mum to three children whom she shares with long-term partner Paul Knightley.They're parents to six year old son, Paul, daughter Rosie, five, and newborn tot, Edward.

Updating fans on her trip abroad last month, the 32 year old faced backlash for complaining about her luxury holiday. Sam posted a number of snaps from the plane, the first of which saw her smiling next to partner Paul Knightley with baby Edward asleep on her chest.

In the now-deleted caption, Sam wrote: "The truth is going on holiday with small children is tough, especially with a crawling, teething baby. "We have had the most wonderful time in the sunshine, swimming every day, exploring, sightseeing and eating lots of ice cream but it's exhausting, remember nobody said it was easy.' "As for the flight home Edward slept maybe 1 hour out of 7.5 safe to say I was doing everything I could to keep him entertained without crying." Sam was then told to "read the room" by her followers.
