Sam Faiers' Christmas was ruined by a nasty illness amid the voice note drama surrounding her ex BFF Ferne McCann.
The mum-of-three, 31, apologised to fans for being quiet on social media during the festive season as she revealed she'd been suffering from a severe bout of flu.
Taking to Instagram to share a picture of a festively decorated table, strewn with flowers and candles, she said: “Hey, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I’ve been quiet on here as I was struck down with the worst possible flu you can imagine.
