The Essex beauty was said to be looking for a new man to help her get over former boyfriend Joey Essex.
However, she received 100 roses for her 24th birthday yesterday and it is thought they were from Joey trying to win her back.
The card with the roses read: “100 more times beautiful than 100 roses.’
A source close to Sam said: “Sam thought she and Joey were finally over, especially after his stint on I’m a Celebrity where he looked like he’d moved on and got together with jungle pal Amy Willerton.
“Sam was prepared to move on too until this bolt out of the blue. Everyone is guessing the secret admirer is Joey.”
Now Sam is said to be questioning whether to continue looking for a new man or wait and see if Joey does want to start things back up again.
Before Christmas, Sam said of her ex: “Nobody will compare to Joey. I am worried that I will never have that love for somebody again.”
Joey also said: “Me and Sam are a love story that won’t ever end.”
Sam celebrated her birthday this week with a Disney-themed fancy dress party, with guests including Ferne McCann, who dressed as the Little Mermaid, and sister Billie who opted for a Tinkerbell outfit.
