In the clearest sign that things are over between them, she failed to support Sam during his emotional announcement that he's been diagnosed with autism. In a light-hearted sketch posted online, the Made In Chelsea, 32, dressed up as a dinosaur to surprise himself with the news, and referenced his earlier ADHD diagnosis. He captioned it: "Knew there was more to the story." Advertisement He received over 87 thousand likes and over a thousand comments from supportive followers but the video, posted last week, has yet to draw a reaction from Love Island beauty Samie, in the clearest sign yet that they are no longer dating. Meanwhile, Samie has jetted abroad and has been sharing a flurry of sizzling snaps from her photoshoots with Space NK. She joined fellow Love Islanders Maura Higgins, Lana Jenkins and Amber Rose Gill on the all expenses paid trip. And Samie's pictures have notably been ignored by I'm A Celeb winner Sam.

It marked Sam's first romantic connection since his split from Love Islander Zara, who has since gone public with new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson. Sam Thompson's new flame Samie Elishi breaks silence on romance and him 'being the one' after Zara McDermott split Sam and Samie then confirmed dating rumours after being pictured sharing a steamy kiss on a date night. He later defended the romance after many fans were left convinced it was a publicity stunt. Advertisement Speaking to pal Pete Wicks, Sam said: "I stupidly looked at some comment and it was like 'calling the paps on themselves.' "Do you know what the f***ing worst thing is? It does look like that because they've long-lensed it from wherever the hell they've been. "And it does just look like we've just stepped outside in front of a bunch of photographers and be like, 'Here you go, guys, me and this girl, we're going to have a kiss!'" A grinning Sam then praised Samie, calling her "a really awesome chick" amd "super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously". Advertisement It comes as Sam has faced accusations of trying to grab Zara's attention by posting photos with the cats they once shared. A friend told MailOnline: "They are both big on Instagram and still follow each other so it's pretty obvious when Sam posts a picture if it's meant for Zara or not, and that's because it usually involves the cats. "He knows how much the cats mean to her and how much she loved his love for them. It was a major part of her attraction to him. "They used to sit in the house and chill out together with the cats for hours, while Sam gamed or made funny videos. It was their happy place. Advertisement "Now it seems that this is the only way that he can get attention from Zara." The Sun has contacted their reps for comment. 7 Sam praised All Stars alum Samie as 'amazing' Credit: Getty 7 The Made In Chelsea star has now been accused of trying to win Zara's attention Credit: Instagram Advertisement

Loose Women panellist hints at co-star rivalry over possible new BBC role
Two mainstays of the Loose Women panel could go head-to-head on iconic reality show Strictly Come Dancing as one of the stars joked that she's been "practising my splits" Loose Women's Brenda Edwards has revealed that she and fellow panellist Coleen Nolan are both eager to strut their stuff on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. The 56-year-old, who is currently dazzling audiences in the West End production of Chicago alongside former Strictly pro Janette Manrara, confessed she's been doing all she can to land a spot on the dance competition. "I've asked her to put in a good word for me," Brenda divulged about her conversations with Janette, who now hosts the show's spin-off. She added: "Don't worry, I'm pushing all avenues. If I get on Strictly, I'll have to start practising my splits. I want to do it! "It's between Coleen Nolan and me, because she really wants to go on it also." In an interview with Bella Magazine, Brenda expressed her ambition to reach the final, something her Loose Women colleagues haven't achieved yet. Coleen, 60, has also shared her aspirations to hit the dance floor and vie for the coveted Glitterball trophy, reports Belfast Live. On Loose Women, she campaigned: "Vote me to go in! "There'd be a lot of sequins involved, let me tell you." She has also told The Mirror: "I've never done Strictly which devastates me. "Since that show started, I've always wanted to do Strictly and so many Loose Women have done it but they never, ever ask me." Among the Loose Women stars who have taken the plunge on Strictly's dance floor are Ruth Langsford, Judi Love, and Kaye Adams. Kaye, 62, was the first celebrity to be voted off the show in 2022, after partnering with Kai Widdrington. In 2017, Ruth, 65, secured ninth place after her stint with Anton Du Beke, while Judi, 44, was the fifth star to be eliminated in 2021, alongside her partner Graziano Di Prima. The line-up of celebrities for the forthcoming series remains under wraps, but rumoured participants include Tom Parker Bowles, son of Queen Camilla, telly favourite Stacey Solomon, former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan, and ex-Made In Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo. What the BBC has confirmed is the roster of professional dancers. Reigning champion Dianne Buswell will returning to the dance floor are, as will Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden, Katya Jones, Neil Jones and Nikita Kuzmin. Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Jowita Przystal, Karen Hauer, Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola will also feature once more. Earlier this year, the BBC also revealed that two new professional dancers will be introduced closer to the show's return. The 2025 series is expected to kick off in September, though an official date is still to be confirmed.

Vogue Williams knew 'exact moment' her marriage turned to failure
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info TV star Vogue Williams has candidly opened up about her previous marriage to Westlife's Brian McFadden, describing the end of their union as a public "failure." The 39 year-old-mother of three, who is now happily married to Spencer Matthews from Made In Chelsea, had a grand wedding with Brian in 2012 at a castle in Florence, an event that was widely covered by Hello! magazine. The couple's romance blossomed quickly during the summer of 2011, leading Vogue to make the bold move from Dublin to Australia to be with Brian. However, their relationship deteriorated, and they decided to part ways in 2017.

Speaking to The Times, she revealed her early doubts about the marriage: "Maybe not long after we got married. Probably just before. I knew that it probably wasn't the greatest of relationships, but I was very young.", reports the Mirror. Vogue expressed the sense of "defeat" she experienced when her marriage ended, saying: "It's hard to admit defeat in any kind of relationship. And it was embarrassing. Because it was such a big failure - and very public." She finalised her divorce from Brian at age 31, five years after their celebrated nuptials. (Image: voguewilliams/Instagram) (Image: Getty Images) Vogue Williams candidly reflected on her past relationship trials, confessing: "I had wanted to be married with kids at 30, not divorced and single. I felt 'well, that's ruined my whole life. That's it. I'm never going to meet anyone. I'm never going to have kids'." Post-divorce, Vogue took the necessary time to heal before re-entering the dating scene, eventually being linked romantically to Laurence Fox. However, her romance with Fox was short-lived, and by 2017 she found a spark with Spencer Matthews during their stint on the extreme winter sports program The Jump. Spencer Matthews, present for the interview, humorously recalled an early prediction of their relationship: "I joked with her on the ski lift on the very first day that we would get married." He playfully disputed Vogue's claim that she didn't initially fancy him, "She says that she didn't fancy me for a while. My recollection is slightly different." On her podcast, alongside her sister Amber as co-host, Vogue shared a quirky detail about her ex, Brian McFadden, relating to body ink: "He got the tattoo while we were fighting, so it was this big tattoo across his wrist." Brian McFadden, once married to Kerry Katona, showcased his Batman wrist tattoo less than nine months after splitting with Vogue. He gleefully marked the reveal on social media with: "Guess my love batman is for life! ! New tattoo." Brian later found love with a teacher named Danielle Parkinson in 2016, and the couple announced their engagement three years on. By 2020, Brian shared the joyous news that he and Danielle were expecting a baby.

The couple reportedly sparked up a romance by flirting over messages when they started following each other on Instagram and began liking one another's posts. It comes a few weeks after ex Zara McDermott - with who he dated for five years - went public with dating One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. Before Sam was pictured getting cosy with Samie, the latter opened up about her dating life and said she's "really happy" and "enjoying life in general right now". "I'm quite a relationship person, so a boyfriend would be nice eventually, no one wants to be alone," she said to The Sun. "But I love being single at the same time, I love my girls... I love a bit of both. I feel like I am a relationship person, so naturally." Samie - who was previously linked to Tom Clare and TOWIE's Harry Lee - also said the person she's dating has to be ambitious, kind, looks after himself and enjoys going to the gym. Meanwhile, Sam recently admitted he went on his first date since his shock split from Love Island star and documentary maker Zara. He said: "Things are really nice at the moment, I feel like I'm happy." Sam discussed how his nerves got the better of him on the recent date as he chatted to Pete Wicks on their Podcast Staying Relevant. He said: "I was so nervous that I messaged Pete and he sent me a list of things I need to do. It's my first date since I've been single. I'm on my way to the date, I've called Pete and he's said 'don't overthink it, just enjoy it.'" The radio star added: "'Do I wait for her inside or is that overthinking it? He went 'yep, that's overthinking it exactly, go inside, get yourself a drink and chill, staying outside like a weirdo on the street. Text her and ask her what she'd like to drink, so it's sat on the table waiting for her'. "'I then replied saying 'such a good idea' and Pete said 'look her in the eye and say she looks stunning, it's the basics'." Pete also explained: "I then got the phone call post date and it sounds like you handled it very well, very well."
