Sam Thompson finding it ‘tough’ ex Zara McDermott has ‘moved on so quickly’

After calling it quits with Sam in December, Zara McDermott, Sam Thompson’s ex-girlfriend, has reportedly left Forgotten with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! winner, Sam Thompson, is reportedly finding news of Zara McDermott’s new romance difficult to deal with.

Just three months after Zara, 28, and Sam, 32, called it quits, the Love Island star is said to be dating One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, 33, sending shockwaves through the showbiz world.

Although he hasn’t commented directly on his ex’s new direction, Sam, who will meet Louis for Soccer Aid in June, is said to be finding the pace at which she moves on “tough.”

A source claimed that it is “tough” “when your ex moves on so quickly” and that the Made In Chelsea star accepts that “Louis is her new man” and is no way to feel sorry for himself.

They told the Mail: “‘As far as he’s concerned, Louis is Zara’s new man and he’s just got to accept it. He’s a positive guy and will just move on from this, throwing himself into work and getting stuck into the exciting projects he’s got coming up.

He obviously felt depressed when their relationship ended, and it’s difficult to move on from your ex-partner so quickly. And it would be understandable if he had both anger and destruction. Far from it, he isn’t just sitting around wallowing in self-pity.

Zara and Louis Tomlinson have fuelled speculation they are dating after being spotted at a cosy dinner in Suffolk. The Strictly Come Dancing star – who split from Sam in December – was seen on a date with the One Direction singer, but the pair are said to be taking things slowly as they get to know one another.

Not much is yet known about Zara and Louis’ new romance, however rumours started about the pair a few weeks back, when eagle eyed fans noted that they followed each other on social media. Louis’ sisters Lottie, Daisy and Phoebe also follow the documentary maker and Strictly star on Instagram. Zara also follows them all back.

Zara reportedly shared a relationship with Louis with Sam before it was made public, and earlier this year she made the move.

According to a source, who spoke to a source who claimed at the time that they were both focusing on their careers, they were heading in different directions.

Sam, who won I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! in 2023, has his popular podcast with pal, Pete Wicks to focus on, while Zara is working on a new documentary as well as focusing on her lucrative gig as an influencer.
