Sam Faiers dons face mask as she returns home with family from holiday to Spain

Sam Faiers has been spotted arriving back in the UK with her family after her recent trip to Spain.

The 29 year old has been soaking up the sun in Marbella with her boyfriend Paul Knightley, 32, and their two children; four year old son Paul and two year old daughter Rosie.

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Sam and her family will now have to spend two weeks in quarantine after flying back home from the country due to new government guidelines.
