It has without a doubt being a testing few months for Sam Faiers, after discovering she was suffering from Chron’s disease.
But fortunately the TOWIE star has a great group of friends around her and on Sunday they showed their support as they joined her for a relaxing spa day.
Taking to Twitter throughout the session the 23-year-old shared a couple of pictures of herself, pregnant sister Billie, Jessica Wright, Ferne McCann and Bobby Norris while they enjoyed some serious pampering.

Much-needed: Sam looked delighted to be surrounded by her close friends and sister for a relaxing day

One of the shots sees the gang lying on a bed, wearing their bikinis and not surprisingly, they are all wearing full faces of make-up.

 

Sam, who is sat beside Jessica and another female friend,  looks relaxed and delighted to be surrounded by her friends for the fun day out.
She is wearing a neon halterneck bikini top, while her sister Billie, who is expecting her first child, can be seen wearing a pink one.

Cheers: Sam shared a video of Jessica, who had snuck in a bottle of champagne

In another shot she is seen with Jess and Billie wearing a big fluffy dressing gown, which she captioned: ‘My beauties for a lovely relaxing Sunday xxx.’
Sam also uploaded a video showing the girls in their dressing gowns in various locations around the spa.
The camera then pans to Jess who is holding a bottle of champagne as Sam says: ‘Jess has managed to smuggle a bottle of champagne into the spa, naughty, naughty.’

Pucker up: Despite the fact they were in a spa the group all wore full faces of make-up

Their day out comes amid reports that Sam, who recently starred on Celebrity Big Brother, has rekindled her romance with her former fiancé Joey Essex.
A source close to the pair told The Sun newspaper: 'Joey was devastated when he heard about Sam's condition and instantly wanted to be there for her.
'They may have had a messy break-up but that didn't stop Joey caring for Sam. She still had feelings for him too.

Helping hand: Meanwhile in another part of town Tom Pearce was seen helping James Argent pick out a new jumper

It's got to go: The pals were seen tearing up Arg's old jumper in the shop

Snap: Arg was more than happy to pose with a fan's dog as they made their way down the high street

'The situation has thrown them back together and they are now closer than ever.'
Joey is said to have been very supportive of Sam since she found out she had Crohn's disease, which is a long-term condition which causes inflammation to the lining of the digestive system.
Meanwhile as the TOWIE girls enjoyed a day at the spa, James Argent and Tom Pearce were seen filming in Essex.
Tom was seen helping Arg pick out a new jumper before apparently tearing up his old red one.
The boys then headed to Greggs where they were seen tucking into a pasty each.
