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."
