Sam Faiers has received a lot of criticism from her reality show Sam Faiers: The Mummy Diaries.

Her partner Paul Knightley was criticised after he kissed his mum on the lips and after Sam's mother-in-law Gaynor called baby Paul her best friend she was criticised on social media and now Sam has been slammed for swimming with dolphins.

In September after Sam posted a video of herself swimming with dolphins she received lots of negative comments, and in the show she spoke about it: "My Instagram went mad. Everyone was going crazy at me.

"I'm sorry but I am the biggest animal lover and don't get me wrong I understand that they're not out in the sea in the wild. Honestly every comment is negative.

"To me they were well looked after, they were fed, they had the biggest swimming pool to swim in."

However, it seems a few of her fans still didn't approve of the experience. One person wrote on Twitter: "'They have the biggest swimming pool'… yes it's called the sea. Ignorance #SamFaiers"

Other people tweeted:

"Respect for @SamanthaFaiers has gone down watching her see a dolphin show… So cruel! Poor things belong in the sea #SamFaiers"

"It is a shame to see @ITVBe promoting dolphins in captivity on Sam Faiers The Mummy Diaries was enjoying the series up until now."

"Watch Blackfish educate yourself!!! And I do campaign!! Have some understanding before you speak please!!!"

After the latest episode of The Mummy Diaries, Sam also hit back at claims that Paul didn't treat her on their second anniversary. On Instagram reality star posted a photo which read: 'Positive Mind. Positive Vibes. Positive Life.'

Along with the caption: "Really upsets me how the Daily Mail each week write a negative story about my family and my show. This week they have dragged up some (very few) negatives tweets saying Paul didn't treat me for our anniversary 'He doesn't give a s—t'

"Well actually he organised something very special for me away from the cameras. Anyway that's not the point each week it's never anything nice or positive.

"Again I would love to say a massive thank you to everyone who always supports us and tunes in. You're the best!!"
