Two of TV's most beloved reality stars look worlds away from their polished looks in a hilarious throwback snap - can you guess who they are?

'You’re now officially a KAREN here are some photos than you probably don’t want anyone to see.'

Louise was equally amused by the throwback image as she commented: 'Sorry I am dying over slide 5. Look at both of our barnets?' 

Sam is no stranger to supporting his sister and he proudly joined Louise at the launch of her new collection with Nobody's Child earlier this month.

Meanwhile Louise jetted to Antigua for a birthday getaway with her fiancé Ryan Libbey and their son Leo, four. 

Following his split from girlfriend Zara McDermott in January, Sam has since moved on with new model girlfriend Talitha Balinska, and confessed he has told her he

The TV personality confirmed his relationship with the influencer in early December, with the happy couple enjoying a date night with Pete, Sam's sister Louise, and her fiancé Ryan Libbey.

Sam has since revealed he told Talitha he's 'in love' with her while they were sat on the sofa together, telling Pete he'd 'known for a bit' but struggled to say the words.

While discussing their plans for Valentine's Day, Pete asked Sam whether he'd said 'I love you' to Talitha, and he confirmed he had.

He said: 'Yeah, oh wait that's news! That's news! Yeah I have yeah. It was actually classic, I was so awkward, it was on the sofa.

'We were on the sofa and I've basically known for a bit but I just thought 'I don't want to say it because it's too early' and all that c**p.

'I kept on saying, instead of I love you 'I like you' and then 'I like you a lot', and so it's going in steps. I would leave the house and be like 'I like you a lot!''

Sharing that Talitha had previously said: 'I like you a lot too,' he continued: 'And then I was sat on the sofa and I said 'you know when I say I like you, it means something else'.

'And then she was like 'what does it mean?' and then I panicked, and I went 'it means I hate you'.'

Following the awkward moment, Sam said he tried, and failed, to make Talitha laugh, and she confessed: 'I thought you were going to say something really nice.'

Pete jokingly said: 'It's good to know you made this awkward,' and Sam added: 'So awkward! And then I was like 'I think I love you'.'

Grilling his pal on the admission, Pete asked: 'I need it word for word! Was it I'm falling in love with you, I have fallen in love with you, I love you.'

'I think [I'm in love with you],' Sam said. 'She then panicked, because I didn't fully give it she didn't want to say it to me, she was like 'well what do you mean?' And I sort of cracked like I'm doing now, just sort of glitch out, and then we sort of sat in silence for a little bit.

'And then she went 'say something', and I was like 'I love you' and she was like 'I love you too'. And then we sat on the sofa and pressed play on the movie and sat in silence. We sat in silence watching the TV and then just burst out laughing.

'That's why I love her we are both quite awkward people, and so it was quite a nice moment.'
