Sam Faiers has revealed she and her partner Paul Knightley have rarely been in a bed on their own over the last seven years, as their eldest children sleep in the couple's bed.
The reality TV star, 31, opened up about the family's sleeping arrangements on the latest episode of the podcast that she co-hosts with her older sister Billie Shepherd, 32.
The Only Way is Essex alum and her partner Paul Snr, 34, are parents to three kids together, including Paul Jnr, six, and Rosie, five. The couple also have six-month-old Edward.
She shared on The Sam and Billie Show this week that her eldest two kids sleep in an emperor sized bed with her partner, whilst she sleeps in the spare room with Edward.
Sam said: "Our sleeping arrangements is Paul [Snr], Paul [Jnr] and Rosie in the big bed. And then I'm in the spare room with Edward." She added: "It's fine, it's not too bad."
The mother-of-three teased that it's "really funny" because when she goes in the couple's bedroom to get the kids ready for school, her partner is often "hanging off" the bed.
She explained on the podcast her eldest kids sleep in an emperor bed, which she said is the "biggest size available". Sam teased that despite this, Paul Snr still ends up being off the end of it.

Further discussing their sleeping arrangements, Sam said they are "used to it now" and added that it would be "so weird" if her and Paul Snr were alone in bed together now.
Asked if they are ever alone in their own bed, she said: "Never. In the last seven years, unless it's been a random night away in a hotel just us two, [we've] never been on our own in a bed".
Sam added that she is "okay with the situation," as they have different preferences for bedtime environments. She said earlier in the episode, speaking generally about sleeping arrangements: "Everyone does whatever works for them".
Billie – who has two children herself and is expecting her third – expressed a similar sentiment earlier on the podcast whilst discussing her family's arrangements, but revealed things have changed since their mansion move.
The podcast co-host – who shares kids Nelly, eight, and Arthur, five, with husband Greg Shepherd, 37 – admitted: "Now, if my two come in my bed every night it would drive me insane."
She added that she's sleeping "a lot better" with her kids in their own beds at night. She said their sleeping arrangements changed when they moved into their new home.
