Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson was seen leaving the Soccer Aid wrap-party in Manchester with sports presenter Jolie Sharpe
After England’s defeat at Soccer Aid, Sam Thompson was spotted leaving the Hilton Manchester Deansgate party with 23-year-old sports presenter Jolie Sharpe.
Jolie looked radiant as she wore a white ruffled skirt and denim jacket, while Sam kept it low-key in a grey co-ord and white tee. The pair looked in high spirits as they made their way out of the party after an incredible weekend working with Unicef.
The night marked a big win for charity as £15 million was raised for UNICEF and a tight 5-4 victory for the World XI team, thanks to a goal by rapper Big Zuu.
Jolie, who runs the marketing agency JGS Live – an official TikTok partner with clients like British Airways and Chelsea FC – was photographed alongside Sam as the night wound down. Naturally, tongues are now wagging amid speculation that there could be more than friendship between the pair.
Sam’s wild night with Jolie followed a near run-in on the pitch with Zara McDermott’s new boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson. Though both took part in the match, they narrowly missed sharing the field. Louis had already been subbed off by the time Sam made a surprise return late in the game, having earlier withdrawn due to injury.
Despite their history, after Sam and Zara split late last year before she began dating Louis, the atmosphere remained cordial throughout the duration of the charity match. Both Sam and Louis were seen arriving back at the hotel around the same time post-match, and reportedly shared a ‘peace dinner’ with teammates beforehand.
“There is no beef between the pair,” a source told The Sun. “They know everyone’s watching and just want things to go smoothly.”
In a recent conversation with Pete Wicks, Sam reflected on Zara’s quick rebound: “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.’”
He also shared how the topic of Louis came up during an interview: “At the end of the interview, he goes, ‘Look mate, I’ve got to ask the question that everyone wants to know… What’s it going to be like with you and Louis?’”
Sam continued: “Mate, you should have seen the room – everyone goes, ‘Woah, Woah Woah, end the call!’ and I just said, ‘No, no guys, I’ve got this.’ I held my hands up to say just relax. I think I did alright and I meant everything I said. 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.”
Sam and Zara ended their five-year relationship back in December before former Love Island star Zara, 28, quickly moved on with former One Direction singer Louis, 33. Their relationship appears to be going from strength to strength with Zara having reportedly met all of Louis’ family.
