Smitten Zara McDermott shows her support for boyfriend Louis Tomlinson as sings along at his concert in Zurich
The Love Island star, 28, and former One Direction member, 33, are believed to have started dating in March.
On Friday, she proved their relationship is going from strength to strength as she was seen enjoying his gig in the Swiss city.
In a TikTok video shared by user @katiexstyles, Zara could be seen singing and dancing along to one of Louis' songs from a private box.
Dressed in a simple white crop top, the reality star appeared in great spirits as she joined in with the crowd's excitement.
It comes just weeks after Zara was spotted dancing with Louis in the crowd at Worthy Farm during Sketpa's set at Glastonbury.
Louis could be seen with his arms wrapped around Zara who flopped her head back onto his shoulder while enjoying the music.
A fellow festival-goer captioned the post: 'Glastonbury is mad because you can be dancing to Skepta and boom Louis Tomlinson is next to you.'
Others couldn't get over the couple's kooky PDA and rushed to the comments: 'Literally is Zara well in this? LOL': 'It's so funny'.
In an interview before she travelled to Somerset for the festival, Zara also broke her silence on her split from Sam Thompson, 32.
The couple, who featured on Made In Chelsea together, had enjoyed a five-year relationship before calling time on their romance in January.
Zara made headlines after swiftly moving on with One Direction star Louis, with the pair spotted enjoying a date together in early March.
Their romance continued to blossom as they jetted off on holiday together, before Louis and Zara's ex Sam came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid last month.
A seemingly awkward interaction ensued, with Louis reportedly blanking Sam following the match at Old Trafford despite holding 'peace talks' at the team hotel earlier.
The woman at the centre of the drama was however nowhere to be seen, with Zara later admitting the reaction to her love life has been 'frustrating'.
She told The Sun: 'The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.'
The star also revealed that, despite still posting glamorous snaps to Instagram, she no longer spends much time on social media and is more grounded in her 'relationships'.
'I don't care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image, I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people,' she added.
'I'm a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz, my day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.'
Zara and Louis have since seemingly gone from strength to strength, with the couple pictured looking smitten during their Glastonbury weekend.
Zara certainly got the family seal of approval as she was snapped cuddling up to Louis's sister Lottie.
Their relationship has the added strength of the blessing of his make-up artist sibling Lottie, 26, with whom he has a close bond.
Taking to Instagram, 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 friendship 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'

Rory McIlroy reveals real reason behind dramatic haircut in interview with Amanda Balionis
Rory McIlroy 's new trim may have not resulted in the look the golfer wanted, but the change seems to have sparked a positive swing in momentum at the time he needs it the most. The Irishman has seemed sluggish after his win at The Masters back in April, with poor results at the PGA Championship and the US Open. But with a short swing in Europe, McIlroy decided to shake things up with a fresh haircut he debuted at the Scottish Open. McIlroy chatted with CBS reporter Amanda Balionis after his third-round 66 on Saturday and chatted about his new hairdo. I'm getting a little gray, as everyone probably knows, and I stupidly thought that by going shorter, it would take the grays out,' McIlroy admitted. 'And if anything, I think it makes me look more gray. But it'll grow back. That's the good thing. It'll be perfect length for the Ryder Cup in September. Rory McIlroy shares the story behind his new haircut with @Amanda_Balionis 😂 — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) July 12, 2025 Rory McIlroy's new haircut may have been the change he needed - even if it didn't have the affect that he may have hoped when he went with a shorter style than he had weeks ago Balionis then quipped, 'It could be the good luck haircut, depending on what happens here tomorrow. Who knows?' There's something to that. Excluding match play, McIlroy has only carded five rounds of 66 or better since The Masters. Two of those were at the Travelers Championship and two of those have been in Scotland. While McIlroy finished T-6 in Connecticut, he's atop the leaderboard with American Chris Gotterup at 11-under going into Sunday's Final Round. If he manages to pull off the win, it'll be the first time McIlroy has won three tournaments in a single PGA Tour season since 2021-22 - when he won The CJ Cup, the RBC Canadian Open, and the Tour Championship. McIlroy has won three PGA Tour events in three other seasons - including the 2012 season when he won a career-best four tournaments.

New Jaguar car that lead disastrous ‘woke rebrand' seen for the first time… with fans divided over whether they like it
JAGUAR'S controversial new concept car has finally been revealed in person for the first time - sparking intense debate between fans. Onlookers got to see the Jag which has been at the forefront of its "woke" rebrand. 5 5 5 5 Jaguar unveiled its new Type 00 concept car for the first time on Friday morning at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The car will never go on sale in its existing form. Instead, it is a concept car exhibited to showcase Jaguar's new "exuberant modernism." The car stunned Goodwood's guests with its spotless, striking blue exterior which drew large crowds from across the festival. The colour was a significant departure from the pink colour dressing the 00 when it was first announced late last year. When the 30-second ad was first unveiled, flashing up a number of slogans, including "live vivid", "delete ordinary" and "copy nothing", fans on social media were not happy. Musk simply asked Jaguar on X: ''Do you sell cars?' This weekend, fans had the chance to comment on the car's new design after physically seeing it. Jaguar boss doubles down & DEFENDS new 'woke Tesla' pink EV in controversial rebrand Speaking to The Times, many fans were left unimpressed by Jaguar's new concept car and new brand direction. "The back's horrendous," said one fan. Another assessed: 'They've wrecked the brand. " The logo is awful, it looks like it was designed by a child. One fan even said the new ad campaign had led him to sell his F-Pace. Others did enjoy some of the features of the new car, saying they thought it was cool and futuristic. In November, the controversial ad excluded any images of its sleek sports cars as it touted its transition to a fully electric, ultra-luxury company. The scrapping of the well-known big cat badge in favour of a geometric 'J' design also drew fierce criticism. At the time of release, one Facebook user commented: "If I wasn't sure before, now I'm convinced Jaguar have completely lost the plot. This woke nonsense won't gain anything." Another said: "As someone who worked for this iconic brand up until production cessation in June it really does sadden me to see the direction the company has decided to take." 5

When an unsung Indian helped Austrian Jews escape the Nazis
"Let me tell you a secret. Your nana (grandfather) helped Jewish families escape the Nazis."That single sentence from his mother set Vinay Gupta off on a journey into his grandfather's past. What he unearthed was a tale more gripping than fiction: a little-known act of heroism by an Indian businessman who risked everything to save strangers in Europe's darkest wasn't just compassion; it was logistics, risk, and resolve. Back in India, Kundanlal set up a businesses to employ Jews, built homes to house them - only to watch the British declare them as "enemy aliens" and detain them once Word War Two broke life reads like an epic: a poor boy from Ludhiana, married at 13, who sold everything from timber and salt to lab gear and bullock-cart wheels. He also ran a clothing business and a matchstick factory. He topped his class in Lahore - joining the colonial civil service at 22, only to resign from it all to participate in the freedom movement and a life of building shook hands with Indian independence leader and later its first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and crossed paths with actress Devika Rani on a steamer to A Rescue In Vienna, a family memoir, Gupta uncovers his grandfather's extraordinary Indian rescue on foreign soil - pieced together through family letters, survivor interviews, and historical the shadow of Hitler's 1938 annexation of Austria, Kundanlal, a machine tool manufacturer from Ludhiana city in the northern state of Punjab, quietly offered Jewish professionals jobs in India to get them life-saving visas. He offered work, provided livelihood and build homes for those families in India. Kundanlal rescued five Weiss, a 30-year-old Jewish lawyer, was hiding in a hospital, feigning illness. Kundanlal was also in the same hospital to get treatment for an illness. After Nazis forced Weiss to clean the streets outside his own home, Kundanlal handed him a lifeline: a job offer at the fictitious "Kundan Agencies." It got him a visa to Wachsler, a master woodworker, met Kundanlal while bringing his pregnant wife for tests. Promised a future in furniture and a sponsor for emigration, his family became one of the Jewish households to reach India between January 1938 and February 1939. Hans Losch, a textile technician, answered Kundanlal's advert in an Austrian paper for skilled workers. Offered a managerial role at the imaginary "Kundan Cloth Mills" in Ludhiana - with housing, profit share, and safe passage - he seized the chance to start Schafranek, once owner of a 50-employee plywood factory, pitched his skills to Kundanlal and was offered a role in building India's most modern plywood unit. His entire family, including his mechanic brother Siegfried, was Siegmund Retter, a machine tools businessman, was among the first Kundanlal approached. As his business collapsed under Nazi rule, Kundanlal began arranging his move to India to start again. It all began with a hospital bed in Vienna. Struggling with diabetes and hemorrhoids, Kundanlal, then 45, sought new treatments and read about a specialist in Vienna. In 1938, while recovering from surgery there, he met Lucy and Alfred Wachsler, a young couple expecting their first child. From them, he learned of rising antisemitic violence and the destruction of Jewish lives. Over the next few months, he met other men. Encouraged by this success, Kundanlal placed newspaper adverts seeking skilled workers willing to relocate to India. Among the respondents were Wachsler, Losch, Schafranek and Retter. Kundanlal offered each a job, financial guarantees, and support to secure Indian visas."A striking aspect of all of Kundanlal's elaborate scheming on behalf of these families was how close mouthed he remained, keeping up appearances of technology transfer to India until the very end," Gupta writes. "He did not share his intent or plans with any Indian or British officials. His family learned of his plans only when he returned home months later." In October 1938, Losch became the first of Kundanlal's recruits to arrive in Ludhiana. He was welcomed into Kundanlal's home - but found little comfort in the quiet town, writes Gupta. With no Jewish community, no cultural life, and a struggling cloth mill, Losch left within weeks for Bombay (now Mumbai), citing poor working conditions and little chance of profit. He never lasted even less - just under two months. The company created for him, Kundan Agencies, never took off. He soon moved to Bombay, found work in flooring, and by 1947 had relocated to England. Despite their departures, Kundanlal bore no resentment, writes Gupta."My aunt told me that on the contrary, Kundanlal had been embarrassed that he could not provide a lifestyle and social environment more suited to Vienna, and felt that if he had, the two men may have stayed on in Ludhiana." Not all stories ended this and Lucy Wachsler, with their infant son, arrived by sea, rail, and road - finally stepping off the train at Ludhiana. They moved into a spacious home Kundanlal built for them next door to another, prepared for the Schafraneks. Alfred quickly set up a furniture workshop, using Burmese teak and local Sikh labour to craft elegant dining sets - one of which still survives in the author's March 1939, Alfred Schafranek, his brother Siegfried, and their families arrived from Austria. They launched one of India's earliest plywood factories in a shed behind the two homes. Driven and exacting, Alfred pushed untrained workers hard, determined to build something lasting. Gupta writes, the work was intense, the Punjab heat unfamiliar, and the isolation palpable - especially for the women, confined mostly to domestic the months passed in Ludhiana, the initial relief gave way to boredom. The men worked long hours, while the women, limited by language and isolation, kept to household routines. In September 1939, Hitler invaded Poland. Days later, Britain declared war on Germany - the British parliament pulled India into the conflict. Over 2.5 million Indians would serve in the war, 87,000 never Ludhiana, the reality of war hit fast. By 1940, new policies ordered all German nationals - Jewish or not - into internment camps. The Wachsler and Schafranek families were forcibly relocated to the Purandhar Internment Camp near Poona (now Pune), housed in bare barracks with kerosene lamps and minimal comforts. They had committed no crime - only carried the wrong release became possible - if they could find paid work. Alfred and Siegfried Schafranek secured roles managing a new plywood business in Bangalore and moved there with their families, starting all over again. The Wachsler family left the camp in 1942 after Alfred found a job in Karachi. The two families never met Camp closed in 1946, nearly a year after the war ended. In 1948, Alfred Wachsler's cousin sponsored US refugee visas for the family. That October, they flew out of Karachi, never to return to India. The Schafraneks relocated to Australia in 1947 after a successful plywood venture in researching the book, Gupta met Alex Wachsler - whose father, Alfred, had also built the Burmese teak desk Kundanlal once used in his tiny 120 sq ft office. (Alfred died in 1973.)"Despite living in US since the age of 10, and now into his eighties, Alex Wachsler still pines for his life in India, eats at Indian restaurants, delights in meeting Indians and surprises them with his knowledge of Urdu," writes in Ludhiana, Kundanlal opened a school for his daughters at home, soon expanding it into one of Punjab's oldest schools - still running today with 900 students. His wife, Saraswati, grew increasingly withdrawn and battled and Saraswati had five children, including four daughters. In 1965, Saraswati died after a tragic fall from their terrace. She spent her final years in silence, emotionally distanced from the family. Kundanlal passed away a year later, aged 73, from a heart attack. "The notion of a 'passive bystander' was anathema to Kundanlal. If he saw something, or someone, that required attention, he attended to it, never intimidated by the enormity of the problem," writes Gupta.A fitting epitaph for a man whose legacy was not just business, but quiet defiance, compassion, and conviction.
