But they've abruptly stopped exchanging flirty Instagram likes and messages, and have not been seen out together in weeks.
In the clearest sign that things are over between them, she failed to support Sam during his emotional announcement that he's been diagnosed with autism.
In a light-hearted sketch posted online, the Made In Chelsea, 32, dressed up as a dinosaur to surprise himself with the news, and referenced his earlier ADHD diagnosis.
He captioned it: "Knew there was more to the story."

He received over 87 thousand likes and over a thousand comments from supportive followers but the video, posted last week, has yet to draw a reaction from Love Island beauty Samie, in the clearest sign yet that they are no longer dating.
Meanwhile, Samie has jetted abroad and has been sharing a flurry of sizzling snaps from her photoshoots with Space NK.
She joined fellow Love Islanders Maura Higgins, Lana Jenkins and Amber Rose Gill on the all expenses paid trip.
And Samie's pictures have notably been ignored by I'm A Celeb winner Sam.

They began dating after she appeared on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year and was left in tears by Luca Bish's rejection.
It marked Sam's first romantic connection since his split from Love Islander Zara, who has since gone public with new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson.

Sam and Samie then confirmed dating rumours after being pictured sharing a steamy kiss on a date night.
He later defended the romance after many fans were left convinced it was a publicity stunt.

Speaking to pal Pete Wicks, Sam said: "I stupidly looked at some comment and it was like 'calling the paps on themselves.'
"Do you know what the f***ing worst thing is? It does look like that because they've long-lensed it from wherever the hell they've been.
"And it does just look like we've just stepped outside in front of a bunch of photographers and be like, 'Here you go, guys, me and this girl, we're going to have a kiss!'"
A grinning Sam then praised Samie, calling her "a really awesome chick" amd "super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously".

It comes as Sam has faced accusations of trying to grab Zara's attention by posting photos with the cats they once shared.
A friend told MailOnline: "They are both big on Instagram and still follow each other so it's pretty obvious when Sam posts a picture if it's meant for Zara or not, and that's because it usually involves the cats.
"He knows how much the cats mean to her and how much she loved his love for them. It was a major part of her attraction to him.
"They used to sit in the house and chill out together with the cats for hours, while Sam gamed or made funny videos. It was their happy place.

"Now it seems that this is the only way that he can get attention from Zara."
The Sun has contacted their reps for comment.

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Dani Dyer has shared an emotional video from her wedding to Jarrod Bowen featuring a touching clip of her father-daughter dance with Danny Dyer. The Love Island star, 28, tied the knot with West Ham ace Jarrod, 28, over the weekend in a lavish ceremony at the five-star Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire. It has been reported that the couple, who began dating in 2021, kept things low-key with only their closest friends and family attending the nuptials. Taking to Instagram after saying 'I do', Dani gave her followers an insight into the big day in a video created by Evieradfordsocials. It begins with the Survival Of The Fittest star getting glammed up, slipping into her stunning off-shoulder white gown, which reportedly cost £10,000. We are then treated to the moment Danny first saw his daughter in her dress, planting a kiss on her cheek. The EastEnders star walks his eldest daughter down the aisle, before sitting down, beaming from ear to ear, to watch the couple tie the knot. It's clear the day was filled with love, with beautiful clips of guests laughing,congratulating the newlyweds, and Dani and Jarrod sharing an intimate moment with their two-year-old twins, Summer and Star, and Dani's son Santiago, four, on the dancefloor. We don't get to hear any of Danny's speech, but we can see one raucous moment where the entire room is spinning napkins above their heads for reasons unknown. The video also sees Dani and Danny hit the dancefloor for a traditional father-daughter dance, which sees Danny wrap his arms around Dani's shoulders and plant a kiss on her head. It ends with Dani slipping out of her flowing gown and into a shorter white lace number for the reception, filled with dancing, champagne, and pizza for attendees to tuck into. She wrote in the caption: 'The best day of my entire life and a day that I will want to re live forever🤍.' Fans have taken to the comment section to share their congratulations with the happy couple, with fellow Love Island star Georgia Steel calling it 'the most magical day.' 'So beautiful! I wanna know what your dad's speech was like 😂❤️,' Shanyloublog commented – and she isn't the only one.

Skyesteadmanx added: 'That brought a tear to my eye , how beautiful.' Many said how 'stunning' the bride was, while attendees gushed how 'perfect' the day was.

More Trending 'It all looks absolutely beautiful and a lovely colour scheme . Love it when your Dad and the bridesmaids all finally see your stunning wedding dress ! Wishing you both lots of love and happiness !' Helspels66 commented. Ahead of the big day, Dani opened up to Heat magazine about wedding planning being the 'most stressful experience ever.' 'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever – that's the only thing I've not enjoyed,' she said. She also revealed she would take on a double-barrel surname, continuing: 'I am going to keep the Dyer – I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.' Got a story?

Shop the fleece gilet that Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan owns in 2 colours
Harriet Cowan has become the standout star of season five of Clarkson's Farm, and her uniform fleece gilet is already being coveted by fans – so we tracked it down When on the lookout for fashion inspiration, you probably wouldn't think to head straight to Diddly Squat Farm, the location of Jeremy Clarkson 's Amazon Prime hit series Clarkson's Farm. However the arrival of new team member Harriet Cowan is about to change all that, as fans have already labelled her a fan favourite, not to mention been searching her social media for where to buy some of her outfits. And whilst Harriet's outfits are all done with practical farm life in mind, it seems this summer everyone's hoping to copy some of her country chic looks. One piece that's been a stand out is her fleece gilet, which has appeared in several scenes on the show, not to mention been spotted in multiple social media posts of hers posted prior to the show airing. In fact, Harriet loves the gilet so much she owns it in at least two colours. Whilst she's not mentioned the brand on her TikTok and Instagram posts, an eagle eyed look at her previous posts indicated it's most likely to be Schoffel's Lyndon Fleece Gilet. Although plenty of other outdoor brands have created their own versions, Schoffel's is considered the original blueprint for the look. It's also been worn by fellow Clarkson's Farm stars Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper, although they would have presumably opted for the men's Oakham version. Harriet appears to have both the navy and the forest green colours, and a close look at some of her TikTok videos shows the white writing detail on the front zip and Schoffel's signature brown trim. It also features an adjustable drawcord around the waist which lets you cinch it in for a little more shape. The technical fleece is soft, warm, breathable and hard wearing, making it perfect for being out in the British countryside, and is made from Italian-milled Pontetorto fleece. It's currently available in sizes 6 to 22 for £160, with 10 colours to choose from. Although there are TikTok videos of Harriet wearing the iconic fleece as far back as 2021, more recently, Harriet shared a new addition to her fleece gilet collection, posting that Beaumont and Bear had also gifted her a navy fleece with a similar design. There are also plenty of other options around, including Finisterre's Women's Hegen Wool Fleece Gilet which is £135 and comes in a light oatmeal colour. For bargain hunters, Craghoppers has slashed the price of its Women's Dinas Vest from £65 to £45.50. Meanwhile Regatta's currently has 50% off slashing it to £12.50. However for the true authentic countrywear look – and to follow in almost all of the Clarkson's Farm stars' footsteps, shop Schoffel's women's Lyndon Fleece Gilet and men's Oakham Fleece Gilet now.
