Made In Chelsea star, Sam Thompson, is playing on the same team as his ex Zara McDermott’s new boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson, for Soccer Aid at Old Trafford this weekend
Sam Thompson is about to get up close and personal with his ex’s new man, Louis Tomlinson, after admitting he was ‘blindsided’ by the One Direction star. Zara McDermott split up from the Made In Chelsea alum in January and is now dating pop icon, Louis, who is playing on the same team as Sam for Soccer Aid this weekend.
One Direction fans were shocked when Zara moved on with Louis, with Sam making a sly dig about the relationship shortly after the news went viral. Hinting that Zara may have moved on too soon, he said: “I suppose a lot of people look for validation in other people right? And they look for the next person instantly because it’s like ‘I need to find someone else to fill that hole and I need to find that excitement.'”

Louis and Sam are now set to come face to face when they play for England at Soccer Aid at Old Trafford on the weekend, where they will be joined by sports stars, including Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville.
However, the question on everyone’s lips is how will the ex and current boyfriend of Zara get on.
Explaining that he was asked about the awkward meet-up during an interview recently, Sam told his mate, Pete Wicks on their podcast: “At the end of the interview, he goes, ‘Look mate, I’ve got to ask the question that everyone wants to know. This is sort of the big question really, the elephant in the room, What’s it going to be like with you and Louis? Obviously he’s doing Soccer Aid too.'”
Sam continued: “Mate, you should have seen the room, everybody, it was a silent then everyone goes ‘Woah, Woah Woah, end the call! End the call!’ and I have just gone ‘No, no guys, I’ve got this, I’ve got this.’ I held my hands up to say just relax.
“I think I did alright and I meant everything I said as well, that it’s not about me or Louis or who anyone is dating, it’s f**king Unicef and charity and everyone is going to be there for the exact same reason.
“And if he has anything about him which I’ve heard he does, he’s going to sit there and say the exact same thing.”
When interviewed by The Mirror and asked this question in May, Sam said: “I’ve never met Louis, but the moment I see him, I’ll be like, ‘mate, how amazing is this what we’re doing, and hopefully we can make as much money as possible.
“And I imagine – from what I hear is a really lovely bloke – I imagine the reply will be exactly the same.”
Sam has already raised over £1.5 million for Unicef by cycling and running from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford and told us of his achievement: “I am totally broken – but so happy.
“The fact this challenge has grabbed everyone’s attention is just so incredible and I have just been blown away!”
