Pete Wicks teases Sam Thompson about Soccer Aid 'rivalries' as he risks awkward on-pitch run in with ex Zara McDermott's new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson
Pete Wicks teased Sam Thompson about Soccer Aid 'rivalries' during a recent episode of their podcast, as the star is set to risk an awkward run-in with his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott 's new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson.
The One Direction singer, 33, and the Love Island star, 28, have been inseparable since their relationship was made public in March, three months after MailOnline revealed Zara and Sam, 32, had parted ways.
Meanwhile, former Made In Chelsea star Sam has seemingly moved on with Love Island's Samie Elishi and the new couple were spotted passionately kissing outside Olivia Attwood 's birthday party this week.
However, it hasn't stopped best pal Pete from teasing Sam about Soccer Aid, which will see both Sam and Louis both playing for England in the charity football match in June.
In a clip posted to Staying Relevant's TikTok account on Thursday, Pete asked Sam: 'You're really going through it with the whole f****** body and dieting and training loads. Is that for Soccer Aid?'
Sam laughed and assured he's 'loving it' but 'no, it's not' for the game, to which Pete continued: 'Are you sure it's not for Soccer Aid? How are you feeling? You're playing again. Must be really exciting.'
In a clip posted to Staying Relevant's TikTok account on Thursday, Pete asked Sam: 'You're really going through it with the whole f****** body and dieting and training loads. Is that for Soccer Aid?'
He added: 'How do you feel about the line up? Do you think you've got a strong team?'
Awkwardly laughing, Sam replied: 'Got a really strong team'.
But, not dropping the subject, Pete then asked: 'Any kind of people in there who you're looking forward to playing with?'
'Loads,' Sam laughed: 'Tom Grennan. I'm really looking forward to playing alongside Wayne Rooney, Tyson Fury's the manager. I can't wait'.
Pete joked: 'I mean that's gonna be f****** amazing. Make sure you get him on side though because you may need him in your corner in case you fall out with anyone. Not that you will but just in case there's any rivalries or anything.
'You know, you have to train together and it's a lot, you know when you're kind of in close quarters with someone like that. All sorts gets brought up. Anyway...'
Sam and Louis will join the likes of Tyson Fury, Jill Scott, Grennan and Paddy McGuinness in the star-studded squad, while Wayne Rooney will step out of retirement as one of the managers.
It comes as Louis made his relationship with new girlfriend Zara Instagram official on Wednesday evening.
The One Direction star sent fans wild as he shared a gushing comment on his new girlfriend's social media post.
Zara shared a stunning picture of herself editing her new documentary series as she explained that she is feeling more 'confident' in front of the camera and gushed that she is 'unbelievably excited' for fans to watch.
She penned: 'In the edit for my new series all about Thailand. I'm so unbelievably excited about this one.
'I can't believe I've been making documentaries for 5 years now… every year that goes by I feel my confidence in front of the camera, in my producing (and in myself!!) growing so much.
'I feel really proud of this, of our amazing team for creating such a special series with so much depth to it, exploring some pretty serious topics but also capturing the fun too. I learnt SO much making this programme. I cannot wait ❤️.
'(Thailand will be out later this year after my stalking documentary which will be out this summer)'.
Louis quickly took to the comments and wrote: 'Proud of you x'.
While his younger sister Daisy looked to also approve his new relationship with the influencer as she also penned: 'Clever and beautiful'.
In the first hour of Louis sharing the sweet comment, nearly six thousand fans liked the message and several others commented saying he was 'cute' and happy that he is 'supportive'.
The post comes after Zara recently shared a gallery of photos from her Los Angeles trip and once again received support from Louis' sisters in the comments section.
She showcased her toned figure in a tiny blue crop top, teamed with a matching mini skirt as she posed in the streets of LA.
Zara, who has spent the past few weeks in the states with Louis, captioned the post: 'April you've been special.'
While Louis wasn't pictured, his sister Lottie Tomlinson showed her support as she commented a heart emoji, while Phoebe added the blowing kisses emoji.
Zara and Louis sparked relationship rooms at the start of this year before going public in March, three months after MailOnline revealed Zara and ex-boyfriend Sam had parted ways.
Zara and Sam were together for five years before they split at the end of 2024 shortly after the Made In Chelsea favourite worked in Australia for I'm A Celeb spinoff show Unpacked.

Talking points as England continue World Cup qualifying campaign against Andorra
England continue their World Cup qualifying campaign with an away match against Andorra on Saturday, played in Barcelona. Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the talking points ahead of the game. Destination USA Victories over Albania and Latvia in Thomas Tuchel's first two games in charge in March set England on the right path to North America next summer and they currently top Group K after two games, though their biggest rivals Serbia are yet to kick-off their campaign. However, a victory over the minnows in Barcelona will put Tuchel's men one step closer to the World Cup ahead of September's toughest game of the group in Serbia. The German is not taking the game lightly, naming his strongest possible squad, including players who are going to the Club World Cup later this month. Brothers in arms Trevoh Chalobah earned his maiden call-up to the senior squad after an impressive season for Chelsea and he has his sights on history. If he is able to get on the pitch against Andorra – or Senegal in next Tuesday's friendly – he will follow in his brother Nathaniel's shoes by representing England, making the Chalobahs the 21st set of brothers to play for England. Only two of them have been post-war, Bobby and Jack Charlton and Phil and Gary Neville, while Trevoh will be hoping his international career lasts longer than the six minutes 54 seconds Nathaniel managed in his one and only appearance in 2018. The heat is on England are already preparing for the extreme temperatures they are expected to face in next summer's World Cup and they have spent the week training in the 27-degree heat of Spain rather than at St George's Park. The players have been doing acclimitisation testing this week, consisting of cycling in sauna-like temperatures, and taking scientific tests on their core body temperature and reaction to heat. They will get some in-game experience of it against Andorra as well, with temperatures expected to be in the mid-20s when the match kicks off on Saturday tea-time. Ivan the great Most people thought Ivan Toney had sacrificed his England career when he made a money-spinning move to Saudia Arabia last summer, but Thomas Tuchel has brought him back into the squad. The striker scored 23 goals in 30 Saudi Pro League appearances for Al-Ahli, helping the side to win the AFC Champions League Elite competition. With Ollie Watkins also back in the squad after injury, captain Harry Kane has some competition in attack. Down Andorra out? This match is not a question of whether England will win, but how many goals will they score. Andorra are well down the FIFA rankings, in 173rd and below Papa New Guinea and St Vincent and the Grenadines, and have only ever won four World Cup qualifiers – two of them against San Marino. England have a healthy record against them, winning all of their six previous meetings to an aggregate of 25-0 and should strengthen that.

‘Nothing we can do about it' – Man City star breaks ranks to SLAM Club World Cup and says team-mates want rest
MANUEL AKANJI has questioned Manchester City's wisdom in taking part in the Club World Cup - insisting it could wreck the team's fitness for next season. Pep Guardiola 's men endured a first trophyless season since 2017 after finishing third in the Premier League and losing the FA Cup final. 3 3 However, their campaign could continue until mid-July if they complete a seven-game run to the Club World Cup final. Centre-back Akanji, already in the US on Switzerland duty, will remain Stateside for the Fifa tournament. The 29-year-old said: "I have been a strong critic of this competition for some time now. "We players would love to have some holidays, and some time for our bodies to rest. "My City teammates are not exactly overjoyed about the tournament either. "But it's now right in our faces, and there is nothing we can do about it. "If we take part, then of course we want to win it. "But if we reach the final, then the time period for us to recover ahead of the new season will become even shorter." Akanji, City's 2022 buy from Borussia Dortmund, fears fitness woes might impact their ability to once again win trophies. He added: "Set against the expectations we have, this hasn't been a good season. 'I will quit' - Pep Guardiola gives Man City ultimatum over squad issue that is 'impossible for my soul' "We finished third in the Premier League, three points behind Arsenal, and qualified for the Champions League. "But it is still our worst campaign for some time. "However, Pep Guardiola still said he was proud of us for never giving up. "The season could have finished far worse than it did." Meanwhile, the Citizens will start their Club World Cup campaign against Wydad AC from Morocco on June 18. They will then face the Saudi side Al Ain FC five days later and then the Italian giants Juventus on June 26 3
