His social media activity came after Sam revealed she will not be returning to The Only Way Is Essex for the ITVBe show’s 10-year anniversary special in October. 

The fashion designer told The Sun: ‘I won’t be getting involved because, to be honest, it’s like I’m at a completely different stage in my life now. 

‘I don’t even know what I would do on there any more.’

The blonde beauty was just 19 years old when the show first aired on 10 October 2010, and she admitted that she had nothing to lose at the time.

During her stint, Sam was an integral character, having a love triangle storyline with Lothario Mark Wright and his on-off girlfriend of nine years, Lauren Goodger. 

The reality star then went on to date Joey Essex after Mark announced his engagement to Lauren, and ended up becoming engaged herself to Joey, 30.

However it wasn’t meant to be and the pair split up on the show in 2013.
