It comes amid a tough time in Made In Chelsea star Sam's love life, which saw him split with Love Island beauty Samie Elishi in June.
Just weeks later, it was revealed he was dating nutritionist Steph Robinson.
It was also suggested he had grown close to Too Hot To Handle beauty Lucy Syed, 28.
Sam's dating history was put under the spotlight this year after he and Zara McDermott called time on their five year relationship back in January.

The Sun then exclusively reported how Zara had moved on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
Now, in a special birthday episode for Sam on the podcast, his "wish" for BFF Pete to take a lie detector test came true.
Pete was hooked up to a pressure cuff and series of wires as lie detector expert Mark asked him a series of questions - all drummed up by Sam.
One particular question quizzed: "Do you like me more now that I am single?"

After he was revealed to be telling the truth Sam squealed: "Yes, truthful!"

'I've been so incredibly lucky, and the last few years have been a whirlwind - from the jungle to Love Island. Just so much stuff.
'So next year, I want to really consolidate and figure out what it is that I want to do, and not just be a yes man. I feel like I'm lucky enough to be in a position where I really can.
'And I want to decide what it is I actually want to do - maybe that's something really important, and find out what my legacy will be.'
He added: "I'd like to spend a bit of time on myself and actually sort of like, you know, figure out what I- want to do. Self-reflection.

The singer, 40, whose real name is Rory Graham, has been on tour in Europe, but had to cancel a gig last minute following a medical issue. The BRIT Award winner, who had already taken to the stage at festivals held in Romania and Latvia last week as part of his latest run of appearances, stunned fans by announcing his gig in Lithuania on Tuesday had been pulled. Taking to Instagram, his team informed his followers the star had "fallen ill" and will no longer be able to perform, though they didn't provide further any details over his health. In the statement released on social media, the singer's team said: "Show cancellation today. "We're deeply sorry to let you know that today's concert in Kaunas has been cancelled as Rag'n'Bone Man has unfortunately fallen ill."

He captioned his post: "Being stuck in hospital in Lithuania was not on my list of shit to do before you die! Anyone watching anything good? "I've got lots of time to kill. Sorry to anyone that had tickets to my shows Trust me I'd rather be on stage!" Fans were quick to send get well messages in the comments section of his post. Among them was DJ Premier who wrote: "Get strong and back on stage to enjoy what you're here to do and love RORY. You'll bounce back." Ellis Genge also penned: "Must have some big hospital beds over there bruv, get well soon mate," while Alison Hammond was among the star's followers to have clicked the like button on the post.

Rosie O'Donnell fans react to her slimmed down figure
Rosie O'Donnell is marveling at the slimmed down figure she has achieved with the help of weight loss drug Mounjaro. The former talk show host, 63, has been taking the drug since late 2022, yet remains in disbelief over how far she has come. In her latest Instagram post, Rosie revealed she is now a size 12 - and praised the drug as a 'life saver'. Rosie showed off her dramatic results as she went shopping for a new travel outfit, her slimmed down body on display in a fitted black track suit. 'ok so went shopping to but a comfy lounge wear outfit for my 22 hour flight to Australia- was undecided as i cant see myself in this new smaller body- cam n robin took this photo of me in the dressing room - i am shocked im a 12 - #mounjaro is a life saver,' she gushed in the caption. Fans were equally impressed in the comments, with one merely stating 'WOW' (along with a few emojis) in response to the picture. Kristin Chenoweth also chimed in, writing: 'You look amazing!' Another wrote: 'It is a life changing med! Not only does it help you lose weight but decreases the inflammation in your body so you feel so much better. Rosie - you look great and hope you feel great too!!' One complimented her: ''I've been needing this for years but my insurance won't cover it. You look awesome-although your Beautiful soul shines through in ANY body.' Mounjaro 'is an injectable prescription medicine that is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus,' per the official website. Back in March of this year, O'Donnell talked about her 'shocking' new size after taking the medication. In a TikTok video uploaded at the time, she explained to her followers: 'I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight. 'But [the weight loss] is also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don't have a chef now. It's me cooking for [my child] Clay and me.' The TV personality then recalled how she went to a clothing store in Dublin and revealed she was a size large after previously wearing sizes XL or XXL. 'I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking,' the mom-of-five expressed. Being on Mounjaro has not only aided her in losing weight, but has made her feel 'healthier' and she is also 'sleeping better.' Back in January 2023, Rosie revealed she had been prescribed the medication and credited it with helping her drop 10 pounds during the holiday season. While taking her child to school, the star explained on TikTok: 'I need to let you know I've lost 10lbs since Christmas.' She added that she had been taking Mounjaro after a fan commented, 'You can't drop a bomb like that and not tell us HOW???' Rosie stated, 'Okay, so like two months ago, my doctor put me on... not Ozempic, Mounjaro? Something like that, and Repath.' She added, 'One I do every other week, and one I do once a week. And that and on Christmas, I stopped drinking anything except water.
