Sam Faiers has shown off her 'OTT' Christmas decorations but fans are less than pleased with how extravagant her house is.
The Mummy Diaries star shared photos and videos of her Hertfordshire home fully kitted out with festive decor; including balloons that spread from her floor to ceiling, bouquet of roses and toy soldiers.
The reality star wrote on Instagram, "Christmas at the Knightley’s 🤩🎄✨❤️🎅🏼 (guys I know this is very OTT however I’m obsessed 👏😉😁) this would never be possible without my team 👊".
Judging by her orangery it's safe to say that Sam and her boyfriend Paul Knightley are in the festive spirit, but some of her fans were not feeling so jolly.
"Sorry but I find this way OTT. It’s a bit like showing off! Some people can’t afford anything and makes them feel like they are failing their children. I think you are a lovely family but it’s all a bit much sometimes," wrote one follower.
Another commented, "Definitely a bit over the top , it’s probably cost more than I have to spend on the whole Christmas, looks lovely though".

Sam Faiers House - SLIDER
1 of 29From Essex...
Sam bought a modest three bed home in 2012, becoming a first-time home buyer at just 21. The TOWIE star reportedly paid £400,000 for her first property.
2 of 29... To Herfordshire
Viewers of The Mummy Diaries will remember things got a little tense between Sam and her family when she revealed she was moving out of Essex. Luckily, Sam's mum and sister, Billie eventually supported her when she found her dream home in Hertfordshire - costing the reality star a cool £2.9 million.
3 of 29Entrance Hall
It's safe to say that the family have enough space in this HUGE hallway. How adorable is baby Paul hurtling through the grand front door towards big Paul?
4 of 29Entrance Hall
With an exterior that gives Buckingham Palace a run for it's money, it's only right that the entrance hall is sprawling, right? Swipe to see it in all it's glory at Christmas.

We don't know what's better - Sam's perfect outfit, or the amazing Christmas decor lining the bannister... oh, who are we kidding? The decadent xmas foliage wins every time.

Have you ever seen a more pristine kitchen? Add some crumbs on the surfaces, a pile of washing and an unfolded ironing board and ours could be the same kitchen, right?
7 of 29Kitchen
Sam and Paul's kitchen is gorgeous - and how cute is this display of framed photos? Again, add some envelopes and papers to the side and this could, COULD be our kitchen.
8 of 29Orangery
Helloooo orangery! Rule no. 1 of mahooosive houses: no luxurious home is complete without a orangery. How else can you enjoy the evening summer sun from inside?
9 of 29Orangery
With neighbours including Luisa Zissman, Sam's spacious orangery gives her all the room to host fabulous parties for her celeb pals. She hosted some of her closest friends and their partners for an exclusive Valentine's Day dinner in 2019.
10 of 29Living Room
Their living room is bigger than our house! Those French doors are something we'll be dreaming of for years to come... so elegant, so chic.
11 of 29Living Room
Back to their living room again, and this time with a view of their gigantic sofa and plush mantelpiece. If you're imagining that fireplace at Christmas, then swipe next.
12 of 29Living room
Now that is an impressive Christmas display on the mantelpiece! Just looking at the xmas decor is making us feel warm and cosy. TV on? Check. Cosy socks on? Check. Crackling fire? Check.
13 of 29Living room
We're obviously obsessed with this room. It's just so spacious (yet cosy at the same time) and the huge windows let so much natural light in. Ah, dreamy.
14 of 29Toy room
Yes, Paul and Rosie have a toy room. Yes, we are very jealous indeed. Sam and big Paul have even laid down a rug to protect those shiny wooden floors. Although, the white fabric is making us feel a little anxious.
15 of 29Toy room
Aww! Paul and his toys. Paul has an abundance of toys including a kitchen set, an emirates tin bucket and lots of little animal figurines. But the best toy is yet to come...
16 of 29Toy room
We're jealous of Paul's toy collection, and yes, that is a miniature hook & ladder fire engine. We'll just be contemplating if it might be acceptable for us to commute into work on one of these?
17 of 29Toy room
Even more toys! How tiny does baby Paul look in this snap? The little toddler ditches the cute sheep in favour of a supermarket trolley.
18 of 29Toy room
... And more toys. Never mind Mum and Dad's lush kitchen, baby Paul has one of his own, complete with cupboards, saucepans and a sink! Still nicer than ours, tbh.
19 of 29Upstairs landing
Now upstairs, with a landing this big business woman Sam has plenty of space to model outfits from her's and Paul's clothing label, All Bits London.
20 of 29Baby Paul's bedroom
Baby Paul's bedroom may not be quite as fun as his sprawling toy room, but wait until you see the safari makeover super-mum Sam gave it...
21 of 29Baby Paul's bedroom
Baby Paul's bedroom received a safari makeover - we know we would choose a slide out of bed over an average double bed any day.
22 of 29Baby Rosie's room
And it looks like Paul's little sister, Rosie has an animal theme in her bedroom, too. Who wouldn't want a life-size giraffe!?
23 of 29Baby Rosie's bedroom
Rosie's room is in the spacious loft conversion of Samantha's plush three story house. It looks like there could be a spare bedroom for any more children, too.
24 of 29Sam and Paul's bedroom
Sam and Paul's master bedroom has a minimal style throughout - but don't be fooled, this is no understated room. Just wait until you see the couple's walk-in wardrobe...
25 of 29Walk in wardrobe
Baby Paul plays in a Chanel shopping bag (because, why not?) in Big Paul and Sam's walk-in wardrobe. Daddy Paul's vast trainer collection line the walls.
26 of 29Garden
How big is their garden?! Sam and Paul's luscious green garden is the perfect spot for summer barbecues - and of course provides lots of room for the children to play.
27 of 29Garden
Talking of playing, there's an entire miniature village for the children to enjoy. Nelly and Arthur can even join Paul and Rosie in the Wendy house or relax on the kids-size deckchairs.
28 of 29Garden
And Sam's garden looks just as pretty under a blanket of snow. Despite the chilly weather, Sam proved that little Rosie can nap just about anywhere, as she snoozed in her pram.
29 of 29Garage
The Faiers' garage and car collection matches the grandeur of their interiors. Now that sure is one squeaky clean car.
Someone else wrote, "Although this is lovely. I can not help but think that the money spent would of been better spent on those poor children in the orphanage who will most likely not receive a present this year. Very disappointing".
A fourth said, "This is amazing and total goals but I can’t help but think there’s some people who could have a full family Xmas on the amount spent on this, at least 10 times over. Hope whatever can be gets donated to those less fortunate 😊"

One more added, "Sam has really changed and has let fame go to her head. Total OTT and disregard how others struggle through your the year but most of all at Christmas. Sadly Sam has lost total touch with reality 🤔".
Luckily there were lots more of her followers who were buzzing about her decorations including pal Ferne McCann who said, "
Love Island 2019's Francesca Allen commented, "OOOOHHHHHH MY DIDDY DAYS!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I can’t wait to come round 😍🤩😍".
Former TOWIE star Lydia Bright added, "This is so extra, but I absolutely love it. Hostess with mostess ❤".
The backlash comes after some of her fans accused her and sister Billie Shepherd of 'losing touch with reality' and cashing in on too many freebies on social media.
