Sam Thompson breaks silence on ex Zara's steamy 'hard launch' of Louis Tomlinson romance
Sam Thompson has broken his silence after his ex, Zara McDermott, went public with her relationship with Louis Tomlinson, posting a snap of the pair snogging on Instagram.
The Love Island star has been dating the One Direction singer for several months following her break-up with Sam in January, which the Made In Chelsea alum admitted left him 'blindsided'.
Zara, 28, and Louis, 33, have so far kept relatively coy about their relationship, but now Zara has made it 'Insta official' and 33 year old Sam's not happy. It comes after the I'm A Celebrity winner admitted he needed help after their split.
Talking to his pal, Pete Wicks, on their podcast, Staying Relevant, Sam said his phone 'blew up' after Zara posted the snap of her locking lips with Louis last week.
He said: "I'm watching some YouTube video and my phone just starts blowing up. I thought I'd been cancelled!'
Sam continued: 'Mate it's dinged up, you know when everyone is like, 'Just checking in mate, is everything ok?' and I'm looking at my phone like 'What is going on?'
'And genuinely you know what it's like when you don't quite know what's happened so you think the worst. Tell you what though, I wouldn't wish a hard launch on my worst enemy though.'
It comes after Pete admitted he never liked one of Sam's exes, but wouldn't say which one.
During one episode of their podcast, Pete agreed to take a lie detector test and was asked by Sam: "Have you any disliked any of my previous partners?"
Hesitating for a second, he then laughed and said "yes." After he was revealed to be telling the truth Sam squealed: "Yes, truthful!"
Earlier in the week, the reality star asked fans for help as he admitted he was struggling post Zara. Talking to the listeners on Hits Radio, he revealed he was using dating app, Hinge.
Sam confessed: "I'm on Hinge everybody. I have decided to give dating apps a go, because the dating world is the trenches out there and I need a bit of help."
While Sam had no issues choosing the perfect pictures and videos of himself to show off his best qualities, he admitted that answering the prompts had left him frustrated.
The reality TV star joked: "One of them is 'I'd fall for you if...' And I just don't know what I think, to be honest with you I'd fall for you if you say you like me. If you turn round and say I like you, I'm done that's all it takes with me. And 'my cry in the car song?' Anything by One Direction really...."

Tyson and Paris Fury ‘terrified' after plane is forced to land after wedding
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Tyson Fury and his family were left 'terrified' after the plane they were travelling on was forced to land due to an emergency issue with the aircraft. The retired heavyweight boxer was travelling with his wife, Paris, and their seven children after the couple had a wedding ceremony for the third time, 17 years after they first got married. Tyson took to Instagram to share the harrowing experience, recounting how a 'problem with one of the wings' on the plane meant it had to turn around after travelling just 100 miles. He said: 'So, we've travelled 100 miles on the plane and the captain's come over to me and said 'we've got to turn this plane around because there's a problem with one of the wings and it won't fix on the computer so we gotta try and get back and turn around.'' He said: 'Talk about totally sh***ing yourself. So we're now spinning the plane around and going back to the airport where we started. Terrifying.' Tyson captioned the video simply 'bad news.' The Gypsy King, 37, posted the update just a day after marrying his wife, Paris, 35, for a third time, surrounded by the couple's children. The pair were first married in 2008 when she was just 19 years old and he was 21. They have since renewed their vows on one other occasion in April 2013 in New York City. Taking to social media, Tyson wrote of the romantic day at Saint-Martin-Saint-Augustin Church in France: 'Paris Fury and I got married again; third time lucky. We had the most beautiful day in the South of France, it holds a lot of special memories for us.' The couple have seven children together: sons Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, nine, Prince Adonis Amaziah, six, and Prince Rico, two, and daughters Venezuela, 15, Valencia, seven, and Athena, four. Paris wore a white lace dress while Tyson wore a cream shirt, white shorts, and sandals. The couple's children also dressed up for the occasion, sons Prince John James, Prince Tyson II, Prince Adonis Amaziah, and Prince Rico wearing matching suits while daughters Venezuela, Valencia, and Athena matched their mom in white dresses. Paris and Tyson, who are both Irish Traveller descent and were raised in Traveller communities, met at a wedding of a mutual friend when she was 15 and he was 18, before marrying in 2009. More Trending Speaking about renewing their vows in January of this year, Paris told OK!: 'I don't want a big ceremony or a big wedding, I'd like something private with just me and him. 'It'll be nice to reaffirm our vows. If he had his way he'd have it like a circus – a whole Big Fat Gypsy Wedding again! But I think I'll go subtle.'

Love Is Blind UK star storms off show & says ‘get this mic off me' after branding co-star ‘disrespectful' in fiery rant
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Is Blind UK has had a very dramatic start with one star storming off after being branded "disrespectful" by their co-star. Emma and Matt Willis returned to host the second series, as the pods opened for 30 new singletons to try their luck at finding someone to marry. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Is Blind UK star Sophie stormed off the show after a furious rant Credit: Netflix 4 The contestant was left in floods of tears after she branded Kieran 'disrespectful' Credit: Netflix 4 Sophie confessed she's never been in love despite her recent five year relationship Credit: Instagram Gaming entrepreneur Kieran, 30, made an impression on two girls in particular, Megan and Sophie. But he quickly confessed that his head was "in a bit of a pickle" as he struggled to decide between the two. In a bold move, Kieran decided to leave Megan a personal gift, but that didn't sit well with rival Sophie. She later confronted him and slammed him for being "disrespectful" and "really rude". An annoyed Sophie said: "Your actions have made your intentions very clear." Kieran responded: "I have made a strong connection elsewhere." Sophie fired back: "I bring a lot to the table, I want to be with someone that sees that." She continued: "I wouldn't do that to you because it's a s*** feeling. "If you truly cared about how I felt you wouldn't have put me in that position. "I'm a prize, like I'm a catch and on the outside world you would see that so I'm not here to beg you to love me." Love Is Blind UK star leaves viewers 'feeling physically sick' as he details his VERY unique job Getting increasingly upset, Sophie exited the pod and tearfully said: "I just feel I'm done now." She was then seen storming off and exclaimed: "F*** this, someone needs to get this mic off me." Kieran ended up choosing Megan and they got engaged, but it was teased at the end of episode four that Sophie will come back for a cast mixer and stir up trouble with another man. Manchester-based Sophie, 28, admitted she's been single since her five-year relationship ended last year, but doesn't think she's ever been in love. Netflix teased: "Sophie admits she can be confrontational but thinks her over-protective dad and four brothers could be the reason she's still single. "She's most attracted to men who can stand up for themselves and won't let her walk all over them." Elsewhere, one contestant caught the attention of fans thanks to his unique life path. While introducing himself to singer Aanu, Patrick Justus revealed that he was a human design coach. Explaining it was "like a lifecoach but using a system called spiritual design', Patrick's biggest mantra in life was to "trust your spleen", noting that "splenic energy" was a bigger force than a gut instinct. Speaking in the pods to potential match Yolanda, Patrick said that he follows his spleen "literally to the second", later adding: "Listening to my spleen is the best way to find the love of his life." While it didn't win over Yolanda or another hopeful, Catherine, the idea intrigued singer Aanu, who sparked a connection with him. But viewers were left baffled by his continued discussion of his spleen in conversation – with some left turned off by the chat, despite finding Patrick charming, saying it made them feel ill. "I loveee Patrick, do you know how nice you have to be for me to ignore the fact you keep mentioning your spleen??" wrote one on X (formerly Twitter). "Please the word 'spleen' is just making me cringe and feel physically sick. How many times are we going to have to hear this nonsense" said a second. "This bloke and his damn SPLEEN, his spleen should have told him to stay home," said a third.
