Hmmm…. Celebrity fires assistant and replaces her with her boyfriend?
Doesn’t sound like great idea, does it?
But that’s what Sam Faiers has only gone and done.
According to reports boyfriend Paul Knightley has now assumed responsibility for his baby momma’s career, after the former TOWIE star parted ways with Xanthe Taylor-Wood after a year of very loyal service.
The sudden change apparently comes after a string of confrontations between Xanthe and Paul as well as a three way row between them all.
“Things went sour between Xanthe and Sam after an argument that also involved Paul.
“She’d previously been telling friends that she simply doesn’t get on with Paul – who appears to be a bit of a control freak on Sam’s TV series.
“Xanthe told one friend, ‘he undermines me all the time and I can’t work with him’.
“Days later she was given the chop.”

Xanthe, who still works with Sam’s bit-part sister Billie, supposedly felt like she couldn’t do her job properly and was in tears on a daily basis.
According to the Sun Xanthe really didn’t feel welcomed by Paul and realised her future was bleak.
“The writing was on the wall when she failed to get on with Paul – who Xanthe has felt was ‘pushing her out’ from the get go,” a source has revealed.
“The day they had that row she might as well have written her own resignation letter.”
Sam will continue focusing on the next series of the Baby Diaries, why has been a relative hit for ITVBE.
