Sam Faiers was "quite drunk" on her first date with Paul Knightley.
The ‘Only Way Is Essex’ star confessed she was a bit intoxicated and was "being a bit of a pest" on the couple’s first date as they reminisced over the past five years together for their television show, ‘The Mummy Diaries’.
She said: "Five years. We’ve been together five years, can you believe that? … Did you think when we met five years ago we would be here now with two babies?"
To which Paul replied: "You can’t ever imagine that on a first date, can you? Did you? No, listen, I knew I liked you a lot.’
Shocked, Sam replied to him: "Really? Even for the first week? You’ve never admitted that before, honey, it’s always me admitting it … I was quite drunk obviously and being a bit of a pest, but I think deep down you secretly liked it."
Paul told her: "You were just a little bit more keen, I played it a little bit more cool."
And Sam – who has Paul Jr., three, and Rosie, 22 months, with her partner Paul – is surprised by how quick their relationship moved along.
She explained on the pair’s reality television show: "I still can’t believe how much has happened in the last five years since Paul and I have met. You think in like five years maybe we would have just got engaged or something … but we’ve had two kids, moved to Hertfordshire and we’ve got the businesses."
The blonde beauty also admits she doesn’t have much time for date nights anymore.
She confessed: "We never have date night, do we? We never find time for ourselves just me and you. Don’t even try and think of something to come back at me with!"
