Zara McDermott publicly supports Sam Thompson after shock split
Share:
Zara McDermott, 28, showed her support for Sam Thompson, 32, and his social media career despite rumours that they’ve split. Made in Chelsea alum Sam shared a new ad on Instagram on Friday, partnering with Heinz to show off their tomato soup. In the hilarious clip - which likely would have featured Zara before the split - Sam teamed up with his mum, Karen, and The Only Way is Essex star Pete Wicks, 37.
Despite her absence from the reel, fans noticed that Zara had liked the post, and debated what the action might mean. “Are you and Zara together?” One fan asked in the comment section. Others replied to argue whether she was still following, with another pointing out: “Yes she is and she has liked this post.".
Pete’s appearance in Sam’s video comes after claims that his breakup from Zara has altered their friendship dynamic. Pete is thought to be dating Irish model and former Love Island star Maura Higgins, having also been linked to his Strictly Come Dancing partner Jowita Przystał.
"Pete could tell for a long time things just weren't the same between Sam and Zara, and Sam spoke to Pete a lot. He's his best mate and he really values his opinions on things,” an insider told Closer magazine. "Things are now a bit weird because, for a long time, Pete was the single one, so it's a total switch-up. Sam really likes Maura, though, and sees that she makes Pete happy. It's a complete role reversal.".
News of Zara and Sam’s rumoured split broke at the beginning of the year, after a source told the Mail Online: "Sam and Zara have ended their relationship. It's been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways, they still care and have a lot of love for each other.
