Zara McDermott gets the family seal of approval as she cuddles up with boyfriend Louis Tomlinson's sister Lottie at Glastonbury
has seemingly been given the family seal of approval as she was snapped cuddling up to boyfriend Louis Tomlinson 's sister Lottie at Glastonbury on Saturday.
The former Love Island star, 28, and the One Direction hunk, 33, have been dating since March, just months after her split from Made In Chelsea 's Sam Thompson, 32.
The pair's relationship has gone from strength to strength, with the couple having been travelling the world together, holidaying in Costa Rica and Los Angeles.
But now it seems that their relationship has the added strength of the blessing of his make-up artist sister Lottie, 26, whom he has a close bond with.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Lottie shared a plethora of snaps from her time at the festival at Worthy Farm, which she enjoyed with Louis, Zara and fiancé Lewis Burton.
Proving she was accepting of her brother's new romance, Lottie snuggled in close to Zara, who wrapped an arm around her waist, as they posed in the field together.
Fans were quick to take to the comments to share their excitement over the seemingly newfound friend between Zara and her boyfriend's sister.
They penned: 'YOU AND ZARA OMG'; 'You and Zara are my favorite duo!'
'Nice when your siblings and partners get along so well'
'Don't even care about the Louis and lottie post (I do) But ZARA AND LOTTIE I WANTED IT OMG.'
Meanwhile, Lottie also shared a plethora of snaps from her time at the festival, with the mother-of-two looking loved up with partner Lewis.
Her cheeky big brother even photobombed a photo of the couple as they attempted a romantic snap.
Elsewhere, Louis' bizarre Glastonbury festival set-up has been revealed.
The performer, who regularly attends the music event, has reportedly got himself a tent solely for booze as he camps out with his mates instead of staying in a hotel.

A source told The Mirror: 'Louis is determined to make it a weekend to remember and has planned everything with military like precision - including making sure enough booze is available. He has his own tent - and one just for the drinks.'
Though Zara has been enjoying the festivities with him, she's been staying off site and not setting up camp with Louis.
The source added: 'Everyone is saying it's a nice break for him and Zara but it's a great way also for Zara to meet his mates. It will definitely be a boozy one and not a particularly romantic one.'
MailOnline have contacted representatives of Louis for comment.
It comes after Zara and Louis put on a loved up display as they strolled hand-in-hand through Worthy Farm as Glastonbury Festival kicked off on Thursday.
The couple cut low key figures as they were spotted soaking up the Somerset sun at the iconic music event.
Louis wore a graphic football shirt which he teamed with black cargo trousers and shielded his famous features beneath shades and a baseball cap.
Meanwhile Zara, who also sported sunglasses, wore an black adidas top with dark trousers and tied back her long blonde locks in a ponytail.
It comes just hours after Louis was spotted smoking with friends in what was believed to be a lad's only trip and weekend of partying.
The pop star later supported Zara, who he was first linked to in March, as she spoke on a panel for charity Refuge, for a talk entitled How to Create Societal Change: Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls.

Taylor Swift fans convinced Matt Healy took swipe at her on stage at Glastonbury – did you spot it?
TAYLOR Swift fans have become convinced her ex Matty Healy took a veiled swipe at the star while on stage at Glastonbury. Frontman Matty appeared with his band The 1975 to headline Glastonbury's main Pyramid Stage on Friday night – something the singer has long-declared a lifelong goal. 7 7 7 7 In the band's only major performance of 2025, they spent a reported four times their fee on a stand-out set design including a stage-length conveyor belt and set pieces. However, during his set, Matty took a moment to seemingly address the elephant in the room: his short-lived relationship with Taylor Swift. Ahead of their hit song Chocolate, Matty told the audience: "I want to be sincere for a second with everybody. "What this moment is making me realise is that, and I'm being sincere, I probably am the best. I'm probably the best songwriter of my generation. "The best, what do we say… A poet, ladies and gentlemen, is what I am. A generational wordsmith." Many took the cheeky jab at himself to be a swipe at Taylor Swift's 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is l ong believed to be about their relationship. Matty and Taylor are believed to have dated from March to May in 2023, before splitting. In lyrics on the album, Taylor made several allusions to a mystery man who broke her heard, at one point saying he "smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate". The titular track also refers to the man using a typewriter - which Matty has gone on record to using. Seeming to confirm he was the man behind the songs, Matty finished his speech on the stage at Glastonbury by "reminding people of his poetry" by going into their song Chocolate. The 1975's Matty Healy slammed by fans for performing with pint and a fag as parents ban kids from watching_1 He further mocked himself and the song's non-sensical lyrics by having jumbled subtitles play overhead as they played. Since Matty and Taylor's split, both have gone to have long-term relationships. Matty is now engaged to model Gabbriette, with the pair sharing the news in June 2024. Gabbriette was at the festival, cheering Matty on alongside his mother Denise Welch. Taylor Swift has been in a relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce since September 2023. 7 7 7

Charli XCX accused of 'miming' at Glastonbury as famous face appears in set
Charli XCX took to the Other Stage at Worthy Farm as the final headliner on Saturday - and she certainly worked the Glastonbury crowd. In comparison to a sparse looking turnout for Neil Young, Charli was treated to a bumper audience as she left little to the imagination in her energetic performance. Taking to the stage in a black crop top and skimpy paints, she seductively teased the crowd and cameras. However, with those in attendance lapping up the display, it appears viewers at home weren't as impressed. Taking to Twitter/X, some fans blasted the singer for seemingly miming. One user fumed: "Oh ffs can't watch Scissor Sisters and Charli XCX is bloody dreadful. Could literally be any random person miming. WTF for a Glastonbury Saturday night, disappointing." Another added: "Predictable but shame nonetheless that charli xcx can't sing live #Glastonbury2025 #charlixcx FAKE." And a third said: "Charli xcx Embarressing [sic]that, turning up to walk around stage pretending to sing…" "What part of Charli XCX is 'live music' ? Get her off that stage ffs #Glastonbury2025," raged another. However, it wasn't all negative as another gushed: "Charli xcx the icon you are #Glastonbury2025." A second agreed, saying: "charli xcx killing it." And a third penned: "Charli xcx is taking over Glasto, she's bloody amazing." And as she found her "Apple Girl", cameras panned onto American singer Gracie Abrams. The 32-year-old artist from Cambridge reached new heights in the music industry last year after releasing hit album Brat. The album topped the charts in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. And it also made an impressive debut at number three on the Billboard 200. The singer is best known for hits like 360, 365, Speed Drive, Apple, Official, and not forgetting her earlier bangers Boom Clap, Boys, and Vroom Vroom. She had earlier been spotted alongside Denise Welch in the build-up to her show. Denise, who is the mum of The 1975's lead singer Matty Healy, shared a snap of the pair on social media. She captioned the sun-soaked image: "Talking about my BRAT flag." Charli and Matty are close pals, with the frontman of The 1975 calling out his friend during his own set. Earlier on Saturday, Kneecap's controversial Glastonbury set caused bosses to shut down the West Holts stage ahead of the Irish trio's performance. It came after calls for the festival to pull the band from the festival. Instead, the BBC just removed them from their live streaming of the festival. But such was the size of the crowd prior to their appearance, the area was closed off, with no other fans allowed to enter approximately an hour before they entered the stage.

Was it working for you? PASS THE REMOTE Glastonbury fans left fuming as show is pulled off air in technical blunder Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GLASTONBURY fans have been left fuming as the show is pulled off air in a huge technical blunder. Music enthusiasts wanted to tune into the BBC and their iPlayer streaming service to watch the latest from Worthy Farm. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 The BBC's Glastonbury coverage has been plagued by technical blunders Credit: PA 5 The BBC was forced to apologise on screen as it suffered a huge technical blunder 5 Many viewers complained that they missed out on watching the Scissor Sisters perform (pictured in Denmark) Credit: AP If you wanted to watch the likes of Scissor Sisters and Charli XCX then you would have to switch the channel. The BBC coverage of the 2025 Glastonbury Festival has been dogged by technical errors. Even at the festival itself, the opening ceremony was branded a flop by disappointed festival-goers. During a set on The Other Stage, the screen cut to black for many BBC viewers today. And it's no better online for those watching iPlayer as the main Saturday feed also suffered from a huge technical difficulty. Those wanting to watch Scissor Sisters were greeted with an apology message that was emblazoned on the screen. It read: "Sorry for the interruption. We're working to fix this." Glasto fans flooded social media in their droves as they were left fuming by the blunder. Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter - one expletive-filled fan fumed: "F****** hell @BBC you cut Blossoms short and now Scissor Sisters when it's just a black screen. Sort it out." A second stated: "Scissor Sisters have been on stage 8 minutes and the screen is still black! Fury as Glastonbury crowd chants 'death to the IDF' during Bob Vylan set aired live on BBC "I've only wanted to watch them, Jade, and Raye all day and now it's not even working for Scissor Sisters!" "#Glastonbury Jeez put up with watching that Winehouse wannabe Raye screen goes blank for Scissor Sisters," exclaimed an angry user. While a fourth asked: "Having to watch Charli because no streams on iplayer I don't even know what she sings #Glastonbury." "Cmon BBC Iplayer…where's Charli xcx?", enquired someone else. Glastonbury backlashes Glastonbury Festival has been going for 54 trailblazing years - but at times it has been a stormy ride Here, we look at the biggest backlashes to hit the iconic music event. The Smiths (1984): One of the first bands to divide the early Glastonbury purists were Manchester indie stars The Smiths. The band's set even sparked a full scale stage invasion as they introduced the crowd to their guitar-driven, post-punk romanticism music. Guitarist Johnny Marr described their usual fanbase as "cup final supporters", adding: "Eventually, I did manage to instigate a stage invasion, which raised a few eyebrows. One fan was trying to climb on stage, I helped pull him up, and then a few more people followed, and all of a sudden we'd managed to turn it into a Smiths gig." The Fence (2002): It wasn't a band or musician that sparked controversy in 2002... it was a fence. Organiser Michael Eavis came under fire when he organised the erection of a £1million fence around the site. The ring of steel was brought in to protect ticket holders and those who might inadvertently endanger themselves by breaking in. Diehard Glasto fans, however, felt it was at odds with the event's hippy ethos of peace and love. Eavis and co refused to back down, though, and the fence remains in place today. JAY-Z (2008): Despite its long history, Glastonbury had never welcomed a rapper for a headline set - until 2008. Jay-Z's top bill booking was met with a flurry of digs, including some from Oasis's Noel Gallagher, who claimed hip hop had no place at the festival. In a perfect clap-back, Jay-Z walked out to a version of Wonderwall before launching into his powerful hit 99 problems. Seven years later, his pal Kanye West followed in his Glastonbury footsteps and topped the bill. Metallica (2014): Thrash metal rockers Metallica were met with raised eyebrows when they were announced as Glastonbury headliners. Some critics claimed they lacked mainstream appeal, while others felt they were past their prime. However, frontman James Hetfield managed to quickly win the crowd round thanks to his good humour and polite manners. Adele (2016): Although Adele wowed both festival goers and music fans at home with her headliner set, the British songstress did cause a stir by turning the air blue. She warned the crowd about her "potty mouth" but not everyone was impressed with with the 30 plus expletives she dropped on the stage during her headline set, which aired on the BBC. And a sixth added: "Since iPlayer is so useless this weekend you only have what's on BBC One and Two of #Glastonbury." On iPlayer, if you wanted to catch the action from The Other Stage, you would have to swap to the dedicated feed which was still working. 5 Viewers would have had to switch to a dedicated feed for The Other Stage on iPlayer to watch Charli XCX perform (pictured in 2022) Credit: Redferns
