His best friend, Pete Wicks, 37, was quick to defend him in the wake of the paparazzi photos as they chatted on their Staying Relevant podcast. Sam admitted to feeling nervous about going on his first date since becoming single, turning to Pete for advice. He said: 'I went on the first date that I've had since I've been single recently and I was so nervous that I messaged Pete, and it was the sweetest thing ever. "But Pete basically sent me a list of what I had to do.' Pete teased Sam about the paparazzi pictures in which he and Samie were caught kissing in an alleyway. Pete joked, "What I took away from that is that you are a passionate and gentle kisser. It's a beautiful moment in an alleyway." Sam replied, "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!'" Watch moment Sam Thompson breaks silence on ex Zara McDermott's new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson in VERY awkward grilling Pete, ever the supportive friend, reassured Sam, saying, 'You're both very lovely people and it's not really anyone else's business. And I mean that.' A grinning Sam then praised Samie, saying, 'What I will say though, really awesome chick. You met her that night. Really, really lovely. Super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously.' The Sun was first to report how I'm a Celeb winner Sam was moving on from his ex after growing close to Samie. And we revealed their romance, after 2023 King of the Jungle Sam swapped flirty messages with Samie when they followed each another on Instagram. Just a few weeks ago, looking very comfortable in each other's company, Sam and Samie posed for a photo alongside Pete Wicks and Georgia Harrison at Olivia Attwood's birthday party. Giving their take on the party in their podcast which was recorded before the bash happened, Sam later joked: "We are actually dating, but not each other." Pete added on their podcast: "Now you've got a date for the night," which prompted Sam to clap back: "I don't have a f**king date for the night." TOWIE star Pete then interjected: "Me," as Sam, clearly still on the back foot, said: "Right." Pete, pressing the issue, quizzed: "Who did you think I meant?" to which Sam said: "No one." Pete, who had discussed how he organised Liv's event, continued to probe: "Why so defensive then? I was just talking about me." HAPPY CHAPTER The banter came after Sam revealed he went on his first date since his split with Zara. He said: "Things are really nice at the moment, I feel like I'm happy." It marked the first time Sam was pictured with a romantic interest, since splitting from Zara in January this year. Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Samie said: "I'm quite a relationship person, so a boyfriend would be nice eventually, no one wants to be alone. "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." Just like Sam, the brunette bombshell admitted she was also in a good place when it comes to her dating life. She said: "I enjoy life in general right now, I am really happy." The Love Island All Stars alum also told how she had been given a sign from beyond that her romance with Sam would go the distance. 5 Pete Wicks quizzed him on the smooch on their podcast Credit: TikTok 5 The trio are seen with Georgia Harrison at Olivia Attwood's birthday party Credit: Rex

Georgia Toffolo's lavish life from luxury honeymoon to eye-popping bank account
Former Made In Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo has given fans a glimpse inside her lavish lifestyle after revealing the surprise amount she and her husband have in their current account Georgia Toffolo has made headlines after revealing the shocking amount of money that's in the bank account she shares with millionaire husband James Watt. After rising to fame on Made In Chelsea in 2014, Georgia has become a familiar face on our TV screens thanks to stints on shows including Celebs Go Dating, Celebrity Gogglebox and Celebrity Hunted. In 2017, the 30-year-old captured people's hearts when she was crowned Queen of the Jungle in season 17 of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, beating the likes of Jamie Lomas, Rebekah Vardy and Amir Khan. With her career taking her from strength-to-strength, here the Mirror takes a look at the TV personality's very lavish lifestyle away from our screens… Romantic proposal Back in 2023, Georgia began dating former BrewDog CEO James Watt after being set up on a blind date by friends. In October last year the pair got engaged during a romantic trip to Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday when James popped the question with a stunning eight-carat triple-diamond ring, estimated to be worth £200,000. Just last month the TV personality surprised fans by revealing she'd tied the knot in Gardenstown, in the county of Aberdeenshire, in the same church James's grandparents were married i n. '1st March will forever be the best day of my life - the day I became your wife. We eloped!,' she revealed. 'Guests: whoever could get here with 48 hours notice! Temperature: 6°C. Wind: 17 knots North Westerly. Location: North East Scotland. To our family and friends who aren't with us, we will celebrate with you soonest!' Following the special occasion, the pair released a series of unconventional wedding photos, including one of James dressed in fishing waders and another showing Georgia, wearing a cream fleece dress, holding some freshly-caught lobsters. While their big day may have been far from extravagant, according to reports their honeymoon was more luxurious. The duo reportedly honeymooned at the five-star Fife Arms Hotel in Aberdeenshire, with rooms costing as much as £3,000 a night. Sprawling London pad Georgia now spends her time split between London and Scotland after moving in with James. With 1.8 million followers on Instagram, the content creator has occasionally given fans a peek inside the pair's stunning London apartment, which is situated on the banks of the Thames. Making the most of the beautiful location, the apartment has floor-to-ceiling windows which let in plenty of light and allow for panoramic views across London. Meanwhile during a recent Q&A on her Instagram Story, the former Made In Chelsea star was asked where she was at her happiest. In response, she explained that Scotland now had a special place in her heart as she described the home she shares with James. 'I am definitely happiest when I am in Scotland in our garden. We have the most amazing garden at the back of our house, James has planted thousands of trees in a field just next to it. It has been so special to see their progress! I find it so important to be in the calm of nature which is the total opposite of our life in London being so hectic most of the time,' she explained. Shocking bank balance In a bid to silence critics who'd accused her of being with James 'for his money', the TV personality recently shared a screenshot of their current account, with the balance reading £0. 'Going off the state of our joint bank account, on balance I would say probably not,' she laughed. However, this isn't the first time that Georgia's made headlines after opening up about her relationship. Earlier this year she revealed that she and James held quarterly relationship reviews in which they share what their love about one another and their relationship as well as what could be improved. 'This is the savage one we talk about things that we could do better or feedback that we would like to give,' she said. 'If you don't nip in the bud these tiny, completely irrelevant things like your lip balm they can turn into bigger major things that actually could affect your relationship,' she added. 'I highly recommend. Before I sign off, the one that consistently comes up on James' part, he politely says 'We should do more budgeting' I.e. I need to stop spending so much.'
