Sam Faiers has surprised fans after spending some time in Los Angeles recently, sharing pics of her sun-soaked time away and revealing she was excited to “pursue her dreams” over in the States.
Capturing a video of her time there, featuring the sun setting behind palm trees, Sam – who has recently launched collagen supplement brand Revive – wrote, “Pursuing my dreams over here in Los Angeles has been a memorable trip. Here’s to a new chapter for my business @ revivecollagen #mybrand.”
And now insiders say Sam, 32, is hoping to spend more time in LA, following in the footsteps of former TOWIE co-star Chloe Sims, 41, who relocated to America earlier this year for her OnlyFans reality show.
An insider says, “Sam loved her time out in LA recently and can totally see herself being there a lot more. She’s keen to tap into the market there and establish herself as a bit of a star. Sam dipped her toes into filming out there in 2017, but seeing how well Chloe has been doing makes her want to have another go – so she’s been making the most of her trip. She’s having lots of meetings in LA, with a view to moving there temporarily if there are enough opportunities on the table.”
Sam first rose to fame in 2010 on the first series of TOWIE alongside big sister Billie Faiers, 33. In 2016, her own show The Mummy Diaries made its debut – giving fans a glimpse into Sam’s busy life with husband Paul, and children Paul, seven, Rosie, five, and Edward, one.
Meanwhile Chloe – who first appeared in the second series of TOWIE – has been living it up in LA while filming for House Of Sims alongside sisters Frankie, 28, and Demi, 26, brother Charlie, 31, and his partner Georgia Shults, 30.
With a reported £1 million contract, it’s said the OnlyFans show will see the Sims family become the next Kardashians. And Chloe has been expanding her circle of A-listers thanks to close pal Vas Morgan, 34 – another TOWIE co-star – who counts the likes of Rita Ora, Lindsay Lohan and Kylie Jenner as some of his best friends.
Talking to Closer earlier this year, Chloe said, “I’ve brushed shoulders with so many people. I’ve been to a lot of parties – Vas hosts them, so luckily I’m invited.”
She and sisters Frankie and Demi have even compared themselves to the world-famous Kardashian sisters, saying, “I’d love us to be two steps behind the Kardashians! I’m a fan of them. I’ve always enjoyed watching them, watching their careers and their show.”
And insiders say that Sam too is setting her sights on achieving Kardashian-level success.
The source says, “There are some US-based agents who have shown interest in signing her, and she’s also been meeting with members of The Kardashians team. She’s trying to hop on a call with Kris Jenner and put herself on their radar – and Kris is never one to turn down a business opportunity, so has agreed to schedule something.
“People underestimate the impact that TOWIE has had globally, but even the likes of A-lister Chris Pratt have admitted to being a fan. Sam thinks not enough of the cast are capitalising on it, and she’s certain that she can take things one step further.”
