Danielle Armstrong thinks Sam Faiers’ boyfriend Paul Knightley has got too much "stick" for kissing his mother.
The property developer has found himself at the centre of a heated debate recently after he was filmed sharing a peck on the lips with his mum Gaynor for the couple’s one-off documentary ‘Sam Faiers’ Baby Diaries’ over the weekend.
But the ‘Only Way is Essex’ star has jumped to his defence as she thinks he’s been given too much of a hard time.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the premiere of ‘How To Be Single’, held at the Vue Cinema in London’s Leicester Square, last night (09.02.16), she said of Paul: "He had quite bad press. I think he got quite a lot of stick to be honest."
Sam’s boyfriend was also branded "controlling" after he demanded the blonde beauty, who went through a gruelling 26-hour labour with their son in December, make him beans on toast while she was breastfeeding their baby Paul.
Danielle said: "I get that he might have come across that he didn’t participate in reading the books and stuff, but he is a man and most blokes are not interested in that side of it."
However, despite the show’s portrayal of Sam’s boyfriend, the boutique owner still believes he’s a great boyfriend and a fantastic father to their six-week-old bundle of joy.
She said: "He seems like a nice guy. I have met him only twice and both times he seems very lovely to Sam."
