Have Sam Thompson and Zara split
Sam Thompson And Zara McDermott Relationship Timeline – In October, the split finally aired on Made in Chelsea. At a lunch with Habbs, Jamie and Ruby Adler, the Love Island star Zara admitted she cheated on Sam during her time on Celebrity X Factor last year.
The confession didn’t go down well with Jamie, who then stormed out to show his loyalty to Sam (even though Jamie is kind of famous for cheating on his girlfriends – but whatever).Later in the episode, she begged him for forgiveness, in a scene where they were both sat on a park bench. (And while Zara sounded and looked very tearful, it didn’t go unnoticed by fans that no tears were actually shed.) We also learn that she Zara didn’t just cheat once either, as Sam called her ‘seedy’ for ‘consistently shagging’ behind his back.

Who did Zara end up with?
Ever since Love Island ‘s Zara McDermott was revealed as a contestant on the ITV2 dating show back in 2018, she’s been all over the reality TV shop, appearing on both Made In Chelsea and The X Factor: Celebrity in the last few years. After splitting from Adam Collard, she moved on with Sam Thompson and despite a brief split in 2020, when it was revealed she’d cheated on the MIC star with a music industry boss during her stint on The X Factor, she and Sam are still together and more loved-up than ever.
Since then, Zara has quit reality TV altogether and she’s now focused on a presenting career after fronting documentaries about revenge porn and rape culture as well as hosting BBC Three’s dating show Love In The Flesh. However the 2018 Islander has admitted that she didn’t feel successful after she was dumped from the villa.
After someone tweeted that it’s ‘mad’ how Zara is one of the most successful Islanders from her series despite only being on the show “for about a week”, Zara spoke out and admitted she hasn’t always felt it. “It’s actually crazy, I remember coming out of the villa and feeling so much lesser than everyone else.
I just left like a tag along, and everyone else was more ‘successful’ than me at that point in time,” she explained. “They all had more followers on Instagram, they all had these huge fashion deals and I wasn’t anywhere close to them. I just didn’t feel like I fitted in. “Fast forward 4.5 years and I decided to go down an unconventional route making and developing documentaries for a living not knowing where it was going to get me, prioritising that more and more over the quick brand deals as the years went on.
“Now I couldn’t be happier with where my life is, even though at the time when I came out of Love Island I felt like a failure compared to everyone else.” She went on to tell her followers that “life works out in mysterious ways” before adding, “Comparing yourself to others is silly because we all have totally different lives and paths.” You tell ’em Zara. zara reflected on her love island journey on instagram ©Instagram / zara_mcdermott If you can’t remember what happened to Zara on Love Island 2018, we’ve got you covered.
Does Adam leave Zara?
Who did Adam couple up with in Love Island 2018? – Rosie Williams and Adam Collard on Love Island 2018 Adam caused chaos back in Love Island season 4 by coupling up with four different women in two weeks. He entered the villa as part of a twist where he could steal the girlfriend from another boy, and picked Kendall Rae-Knight, but swiftly dumped her a week later for new arrival Rosie Williams.
Adam and Rosie remained together for a few days until Zara McDermott arrived in the villa – at which point he ditched Rosie. After Rosie tried to call him out for giving her the cold shoulder, Adam suggested his supposed behaviour was all in Rosie’s head, leading to backlash from viewers. Adam’s scenes with Rosie also led the charity Women’s Aid to warn viewers of “gaslighting and emotional abuse”.
Adam and Zara were split up when she was unexpectedly dumped from the island, with Adam then turning his attention towards Darylle Sargeant during Casa Amor week. After the show came to an end, however, Adam continued to date Zara and the pair enjoyed an eight-month relationship before going their separate ways.
- Zara said on Instagram at the time: “I am heartbroken to announce that Adam and I have parted ways.
- I love him very much and will always have a special place in my heart for him and our time spent together.
- I have tried so hard to be the best person I can possibly be and to make it work.
- Sometimes in life, you just aren’t enough for someone; no matter what you do for them or how much you try to be.” New episodes of Love Island air at 9pm on ITV2 and the ITV Hub every day except Saturdays.

Who is Zara new boyfriend?
Sam Thompson has dropped his biggest hint yet he will propose to girlfriend Zara McDermott – if she doesn’t fall victim to the Strictly Come Dancing ‘curse’ Video Loading Video Unavailable Sam Thompson drops hint about Zara’s Strictly partner Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott’s boyfriend Sam Thompson has revealed he is planning to get down on one knee soon. The Made In Chelsea favourite, 31, says marriage is definitely on the cards after his relationship with former Love Island beauty Zara, 26, has gone strength to strength after a brief split in 2020.
Sam and Zara got together in May 2019 when Zara slid into DMs after breaking up with Geordie lothario and Love Island and Celebs Go Dating star Adam Collard, The smitten pair made their relationship Instagram official a month later. But the sweethearts split in September 2020 for four months after it emerged Zara had cheated after appearing on Celebrity X Factor,
Luckily for Zara, Sam was able to forgive her misdemeanour after she issued a grovelling public apology. Admitting she had “messed up” the then 23-year-old wrote a public letter to Sam at the time saying: “A huge mistake I made a year ago has recently come to light and I want to face this head on.
I don’t condone being unfaithful and I made a huge mistake at a time in my life where I was hugely selfish and immature. “I believe I have learnt so much from my mistake. I want to apologise to my Sam for everything I have put him through, for the pain, the embarrassment, the anger and the hurt. All I want to do is make this right and I think the least he deserves is me being honest with myself and all of you.” Loved-up Zara and Sam have been together four years ( Image: Instagram) Zara and Sam’s fans have been urging for the pair to get engaged ( Image: Instagram) Since getting back together, the former reality TV stars have become one of the best-loved celebrity couples and often go viral on social media for their funny videos where they poke fun at each other.
And as long as Zara doesn’t fall victim to the ‘ Strictly curse’ when she appears on the upcoming season of the BBC dance show, due to kick off on Saturday September 23, she should be expecting a proposal soon. Sam told The Sun : “I need to get the engagement sorted, but I don’t know when that would be.
She is filming two documentaries, she has Strictly coming up and so much on her plate. I am so proud of her.” Zara was unveiled as a Strictly contestant – the first one ever to have also previously appeared on a reality TV show like Love Island, TOWIE or Geordie Shore – and admitted she was “scared” to step out of her comfort zone on the BBC show as her place i n the line-up was announced on Radio 1 last month.
The couple often prank fans with their social media videos ( Image: Instagram) And after she cheated on him after appearing on Celebrity X Factor with music industry boss Brahim Fouradi, Sam is said to be feeling “insecure” about Zara’s upcoming Strictly stint.
A source told OK! magazine: “They broke up because of it, but have claimed to be super strong ever since. Sam is massively dreading history repeating itself and the Strictly curse is definitely playing on his mind. She is getting hotter by the minute and she’s likely to be a huge favourite.” After revealing the news she was going to be on the BBC show, Sam showed his support for Zara by posting on Instagram: “Go on Goose! The news is out! So damn excited for this journey.
I’ll be coming down with a placard. And I’m going to bring Pete, Pete, me, you, the whole squad. We’re so proud of you.” And it seems Zara is hoping the BBC stand up and take notice of her as she recently shared her dream job would be to present The One Show, after having made several documentaries with the channel in the past few years on hard-hitting topics such as revenge porn, ‘rape culture’ and disordered eating.

Are Jamie Laing and Sam Thompson still friends?
He’s shared the funniest throwback to when he dated Sophie – Only true MIC stans will remember, but Jamie Laing is not the first Chelsea bachelor to have swept Sophie off her feet. Back in 2018, Jamie and Sam Thompson fell out over Sophie and one iconic clip from their argument is doing numbers on social media.
- Sam and Sophie dated for six months and when they broke up, Jamie was Sam’s shoulder to cry on.
- Not long after, Jamie started dating Sophie and Sam was NOT happy about.
- So, now that Jamie and Sophie are married, a clip from the episode has been circulating online where Sam has a go at Jamie and says, ‘you don’t even like her that much’ and ‘I wish you’d gone and married the girl because then at least it would all be for something.’ Well well well, look what happened! Sam shared the clip on his Instagram followed by another clip of the pair getting married, and it looks like he’s about to cry (tears of joy).
It was all for something in the end, Sam! Luckily for the trio, it’s all water under the bridge and they all remain good friends. It seems like part and parcel of sharing details about your personal life on a reality show is that clips from the past might come back to haunt you.
But sometimes it all ends happily ever after. Not only are Jamie and Sophie married (twice over), having had a huge celebration in Sotogrande, Spain last weekend with several past and present MIC cast members, but Sam is happily coupled up with former Love Islander Zara McDermott too. Sam and Zara both attended the Spanish nuptials and shared the sweet personalised messages on their place cards at the reception.
Sam’s said: ‘the nicest bloke in Showbiz, he keeps it pretty real/ Is he the reason we’re all here today? Don’t make it a big deal!’ And Zara’s said: ‘trailblazing presenter and documentary maker galore,/ she’s beaut & funny & making the world a better place for sure!’ So it’s safe to say they’re all on good terms.
- Nearlyweds and MIC fans can find snippets from the happy occasion all over social media.
- Sophie and Jamie shared the first pictures of their big day on their Newlyweds podcast account, and the groom also shared a short wedding video with his followers less than 24 hours after he said ‘I do’.
- But with a wedding as stunning as theirs, we can’t blame him.
While she opted for a short Vivienne Westwood number for their legal ceremony in Chelsea back in April, Sophie wore a long-sleeved embroidered dress with a white veil on Saturday, and Jamie opted for a black suit and bow tie. It was a lavish outdoor affair with more than 200 guests, huge long tables adorned with flowers and a large stage for speeches and live music.
Who is the richest person in Made in Chelsea

I absolutely loved my dress, but I do wish I had a second one to change into while dancing at 1am, as it was hot! “Our first dance was to Love by Nat King Cole which we thought was apt because my last name is now Love. Zara Holland found fame on Love Island series 2 (ITV) ©ITV Following the date, Zara got raunchy in the famous “hideaway” with Alex – who later married fellow Love Islander Olivia in 2018 – and as a result had her Miss GB title taken from her after the organisation said that they could not “promote Zara as a positive role model”.
While Zara was devastated at the time, after leaving the villa she spoke out about the ordeal and called for standards to change in terms of women embracing their sexuality. She said on Loose Women, “I’ve done nothing wrong. All women have needs. There is nothing wrong with having sex on TV. I knew what I was signing up for – it is Love Island.
I am a 20-year-old girl who was in the moment. “I haven’t committed a crime, so why should I have my title taken from me? It’s horrific.” And now, looking back, Zara says that she has no regrets about her time on the show, saying, “Women are definitely owning their sexuality more on TV now, which is great. It’s been seven years since Zara appeared on Love Island (ITV) ©ITV Zara continues, “What happened, happened, it was seven years ago and I can’t go back and change anything, so there’s no point in worrying about it or even regretting it.” Zara – who runs a fashion company with her mum, Cheryl – is now adapting to married life with Elliott, who she met just six weeks after coming out of the Love Island villa.
- The star had gone on a family holiday to the Caribbean after the drama of the show, and Zara met construction worker Elliott there – and he hadn’t watched the show.
- Realising that they had mutual friends, the pair began dating shortly after their return to the UK and in January 2022 – while they were holidaying in Dubai – Elliott proposed on a beach.
And now Zara says, “I was so unlucky in love in the villa, but I came out and found everything that I wanted. I was on a family holiday trying to clear my head after a whirlwind couple of months and now we’re married. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out – I found my fairy tale!” With summer Love Island 2023 set to finish at the end of this month, Zara is now cheering on her pal Kady McDermott, 27, who also starred on series two and returned to this year’s season for a second shot at finding love. Zara saw Kady just before she returned to the villa for the second time (ITV) ©©ITV Plc And Zara also says that it’s great that the ITV2 show has made changes since her time on the show and is more supportive of the Islanders’ mental health, but also says more could be done.
- She says, “It’s great that ITV now freeze the contestants’ social media accounts when they’re in the villa because it’s so hard for family and friends to have to deal with the trolling of a loved one.
- But I think it would be a good idea to raise the age limit to 21.
- When you’re 18, 19 or 20, you think you know everything, but you really don’t.

“I think we’ve been together too long now to feel any kind of pressure, I was thinking back to my relationships before Love Island, it’s very different. “Everything is private, nobody knows anything about what you’re doing and all of a sudden, it’s this weird paradox life where everything is online all the time but we both really enjoy it.

- “It’t is all about taking things on a case-by-case basis, you know, meeting the tenant and meeting the pet, I just think that for me, as a landlord, I would rather there be a pet in my property than a pet in a shelter.”
The animal lover, landlord and owner of two cats said: “As a cat parent to Cedric and Albus, I know first-hand just how much joy pets can bring to life every day. The thought of loving pet owners having to choose between remaining in their home and keeping their pet is just awful, which is why I’m so pleased to be working with Mars Petcare and Battersea to help pet owners get clued up with the Petiquette Guide to Rentals and Pet Ownership.” You can find this story in Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
