Sam Faiers slammed by fans for ‘animal cruelty’ as she shares luxury holiday pics
Date: 2024-10-29SAM Faiers has been slammed by fans for ‘animal cruelty’ after sharing luxury holiday pics.
The gorgeous Towie star, 33, jetted off to Dubai with her three children, and shared a snap of her youngest son Edward on horseback.
He was seen sitting on the horse while on the beach with palm trees as the backdrop, and the two year old flashed a smile.
Edward was guided along the beach by a man, but some of Sam’s fans weren’t pleased with the image.
One person wrote: “Love your family but please don’t use animals for your own entertainment, it’s so hot for them, and no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.â€
A second person penned: “Poor horse. Setting the wrong example here.â€
And a third echoed: “Beautiful pictures but riding horses on a beach in that heat is so cruel for those poor horses.â€
Sam captioned her string of holiday snaps: “Making memories.â€
The star looked sensational in a plunging white dress with her hair to one side as she held her son Edward in one snap.
In others, she shared photos of her three children, Rosie, Paul and Edward, smiling away.
The family also enjoyed water based activities and a visit to the aquarium during their sun soaked getaway, and the reality star shared an adorable picture of Edward dancing on the beach.
Sam’s trip comes after she praised her step-dad, Dave Chatwood, whom she and her sister Billie call their father, after he was admitted to rehab as a result of his alcoholism.
Dave was formerly married to their mum Suzie Wells but the girls have remained incredibly close to Dave.
In an Instagram post, Sam shared her admiration for Dave after opening up about a difficult few weeks for her father.
Writing at length on Instagram, Sam said: “As a family, we are so proud of you, Dad.
“Recently, you have faced a couple of difficult episodes due to your alcoholism.
“This is your first time in rehab, and we want you to know how much we love you and that we are here to support you through this journey.
“On my visit Dad wanted a curry & a head shave. Dad and I made a short video because he said he wants to share his journey and hopefully help others who are going through the same thing one day.”
She then followed up the post with a clip of herself and Dave speaking ahead of his rehab stint.
In the clip, Dave confirmed he had already completed two weeks of sobriety before heading to rehab.
He said: “I’m going into my first 12 steps of living a clean life.
“It is going to be a very hard battle but I am quite determined to do it.”
