She once admitted to keeping a doll of Irish One Direction hunk Niall Horan by her bed and having a 'slight crush' on him due to his luscious blonde locks.

And Samantha Faiers, 26, is now sleeping in his bedroom - after it was revealed that she is renting Niall's £1.5 million Hertfordshire home. 

A source told The Sun, 'Sam moved out of Essex because she no longer wants to be seen as the girl from TOWIE [The Only Way Is Essex]'.

They added, 'She’s been seen popping into a few of the shops and enjoying a drink in the local pub. She seems like a lovely girl.'

Sam has made no secret of her aspirations to shed her former Essex girl image and become something of a Hollywood celebrity.

She has started with the luxurious Hertfordshire home, and has been open about her plans to crack Los Angeles by moving to the prestigious California location.

But it seems that some of the properties in the US state were not quite up to Samantha Faiers' standards as she looked around the sought-after Venice location on Wednesday night's episode of The Mummy Diaries.

The former TOWIE star viewed the stunning detached property, which is on the market for $2.3 million, but decided that the 'quirky' area was not up to her and partner Paul's standards.

Citing the property's location opposite a rather more run down bungalow, Sam quipped: 'You've got a 2.3 mil house opposite a shack... we don't wanna move to Venice.'

She added: 'Venice is not for us! We can't wait to get back to Beverly Hills 90210'

The fitness entrepreneur then enquired about the California version of Brentwood, stating that she is from the U.K. version - but was again disappointed that her and Paul would not get 'more bang for their buck' in the equally prestigious location.

Disappointing: 'For that price tag, you'd expect a gate, a swimming pool, two or three floors... this had none of that'

Continuing with their quest for the LA dream, Sam and Paul visited the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame outside the Chinese Theatre - but were again let down by the 'dirty' location.

'You imagine it to be more glamorous than it is - but it's actually quite dirty' She said, dumbfounded.

However, she was a little more embarrassed by the pap who managed to get a shot of her eating a hotdog at the organic market, where she went to gather research for a new business idea - although she admitted that she wasn't quite sure what it will be yet.

'I would love to have my own organic range... I don't know what exactly but definitely skin, babies, food. I need to take my inspiration and go to the drawing plan and work out my next business idea.' She revealed during the episode.

Sam also divulged her plans to build an 'empire' with Paul over a romantic dinner in their last night in LA. 

'As soon as I met you, I knew we would get married and have babies and move abroad and build an empire. 

'I always knew I was moving abroad and when I met you this is the man who's coming with me. We aren't even married yet and we've got one child and we want 5 so this is the beginning.'

'I'm gonna miss the food and sunshine and the big house and the Bentley.'
