Samie Elishi breaks silence on Sam Thompson romance after steamy snog
Former Love Island star Samie Elishi has finally opened up about her budding romance with I'm A Celeb winner Sam Thompson and claimed that it's still 'early days'
When former Love Island star Samie Elishi was pictured kissing Sam Thompson, the pair quickly hit the headlines. The couple were spotted in an intimate embrace outside the birthday party of Olivia Attwood last week, held at Mayfair's Bacchanalia. Cupping her face in his hands, the pair appeared oblivious to onlookers as they publicly confirmed their romance.
Now, Samie has finally opened up about the new romance with the ex Made in Chelsea star. The 25-year-old was coy when discussing the potential of her new relationship with Sam, 32. Samie appeared on the podcast Chloe Mediumship and revealed that in past relationships, she always had a negative gut instinct.
She explained: "I've had gut feelings with guys before. I've had a couple of relationships where I've known it was never it. Like this is gonna come to an end, I'll have something telling me every day it's coming to an end, this isn't for you."
She added: "You put it to the back of your mind and then you start noticing the chaos increase. It's like the universe saying I'm gonna blow you both up if you just do not separate."
Samie continued: "Then I'm like if only I listened all those months ago when I got that first message."
Chloe then asked if she had the same gut feeling. In response, Samie said: "There's been no bad stuff at the minute so yeah I suppose it is all positive right now. It's early days."
The reality TV star first found fame in 2023 when she appeared on Love Island. She later returned to the All Stars series last year.
Since Sam split with his ex Zara McDermott, the pair started to build a connection via messaging on Instagram before finally meeting in person.
A source told MailOnline: "Sam and Samie are really getting along and if early signs are anything to go by, this could turn into a long-term relationship. It may be early days still, but they do really like each other."
The added that Sam is already introducing Samie to Chelsea, having taken her to the King's Road over the Easter weekend.
Sam and Zara ended their relationship four months ago. And within that time, Zara had started a relationship with former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson.
Speaking on his podcast with co-host Pete Wicks, he revealed: "I feel like I'm ready to get out there. I feel like I'm at a stage now where I feel confident enough that I can start approaching females."
He added: "I feel good, things are really really nice at the moment. And I feel like I'm happy. There's no more brave faces', causing Pete to proudly declare: 'Sam's ready to date!'."
