Sam Faiers’ mother-in-law Gaynor Knightley has shared some ‘family’ snaps from their holiday to Mallorca but failed to include any photos of Sam.
The doting grandmother gushed over her son and three grandchildren in an Instagram post which she captioned: ‘My beautiful family’.
However despite Sam being on the trip with them, she did not feature in either photo posted by Gaynor this week.
Sam’s absence in the social media post comes amid reports that her long-term partner is ‘dragging his feet’ over proposing.
In the photos, Sam’s partner Paul posed proudly beside his mother, who looked glam in a black blouse and camel trousers.
A second photograph showed them with their arms around Sam and Paul’s three children, Paul, nine, Rosie, seven, and Edward, three.

One fan wrote in the comment section: ‘Such a shame Sam isn’t in the photo’.
Sam has shared her own sweet updates from the trip, including a snap of herself and Gaynor enjoying a cocktail together over lunch.
Sam and her real estate developer beau have been together since 2014.
In the years since meeting her partner, Sam has become somewhat of a business magnate and it is thought she is worth around £9million thanks to her businesses Revive Collagen and her kids’ range with Tesco, called The Sam Faiers Edit.
But the range used to be called Knightley’s Adventures, after her beau’s surname, and sources have told The Sun that Paul was ‘disappointed’ to have his name axed.
In fact the name change is reportedly among reasons causing Paul to ‘drag his feet’ on proposing, with him ‘struggling with the dynamic’ of her soaring business success.
One source said: ‘Without meaning to, the dynamic in the house has changed and people suspect that Paul is starting to feel like he has been left behind.
Another added: ‘It’s no secret Sam has always been the main breadwinner, but over the last couple of years, she has become a business magnate to rival Kim Kardashian.’

Sam has previously been very honest about her thoughts on marriage, and admitted she does think it will happen eventually.
Speaking on her podcast The Sam and Billie Show with sister Billie, she said: ‘I get this question of when will we get married all the time. I just think, number 1 I don’t know what the rush is.
‘We’ve had a lot of pressure from people who watch our show and people ask ‘why aren’t you married yet, when is it going to happen?’
‘I know we will get married – but I’m so grateful that we have it all to look forward to and in our relationship, we’ve done the hardest bit (having kids). It is a big challenge and change for a couple.
‘I know it’s not the right or correct way round but it doesn’t matter. But we have done the hardest bit and then hopefully the marriage will be a success and last forever!
‘I’ve never been in a major rush. Some people want to get married before having children but that was never on our agendas.
‘But I am looking forward to having all three of my children at the wedding so I’m grateful that it has happened this way round. The more pressure put on us it pushes Paul away. And did you know that 42 per cent of marriages end in divorce!’
Billie then added: ‘It really shouldn’t be a pressure or a stigma, you should do it when it suits you.’
