Sam Faiers has reportedly bought Niall Horan’s old mansion in Hertfordshire.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star may be desperate to up sticks and move across the pond with her family but it seems she wants to ensure she always has a home to come back to in the UK as she and her partner Paul Knightley – who have 17-month-old son Paul together – have snapped up the singer’s plush property.
The 26-year-old beauty – who once admitted she had a crush on the former One Direction star – reportedly moved into the house last month and has been busy shooting scenes for her show ‘The Mummy Diaries’ in and around the area.
A source told The Sun Online: "She’s been seen popping into a few of the shops and enjoying a drink in the local pub. She seems like a lovely girl. Sam moved out of Essex because she no longer wants to be seen as the girl from ‘TOWIE’."
Although she’s just plonked down an estimated £1.5 million on her new mansion, Sam recently said she was planning to trial living in Los Angeles for three months.
She said: "We did go but it kept getting put back. We went for a holiday and now we want to go back for like two to three months and really live it out there. While the baby’s not in school we don’t feel like we have to be in one particular place."
Meanwhile, as well as focusing on her career, the golden-haired beauty has stressed she would love to get married to her partner on their show ‘The Mummy Diaries’, and she has revealed once she has a ring on her finger she wants to expand her brood.
She explained: "I would like to be married before I have another baby."
