Influencer and radio presenter Sam Thompson has confessed that he’s becoming increasingly “broody” as he contemplates his future and the prospect of starting a family with someone new.

The 33-year-old has recently been coming to terms with single life after being in a relationship with fellow Made in Chelsea star Zara McDermott for five years, before their split earlier this year.

Following the heartbreak, Sam has received tremendous support from family and friends, particularly his sister Louise and his podcasting co-host Pete Wicks.

During a conversation with Pete, 36, on their Staying Relevant podcast, Sam opened up about his evolving bond with his sister’s son Leo – an experience that has sparked deeper thoughts about fatherhood after witnessing the happiness it has brought to his sister and brother-in-law.

Sam revealed that while Leo has gotten older, he initially found it difficult to understand his role as an uncle. However, this has since become much clearer.

He explained, “I really struggled with trying to figure out what an uncle’s role in Leo’s life is because I’m like, “Where do I fit in?” We’ve only been friends this year, and it’s like we’re going to become best friends.

Sam continued, “I think the year that I’ve had has pushed me toward them in the best way,” referencing his turbulent year following his breakup with Zara.

I’ve been circling that place ever since. I took him for his first bike ride. That was fantastic. I now feel like I’ll have a place in his life from the moment I die, which is cool.

“I’m becoming drowsy. After Sam had previously stated he wouldn’t want to reveal his desire for children on his dating app profile, the star said, much to his mate Pete’s surprise, “I just feel like we’re getting there, I feel like I’m getting there.”

This isn’t the first time Sam has delved into personal topics on the Staying Relevant podcast, using the platform to voice his reaction to the budding romance between his ex, Zara, and former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson.

The actress previously mentioned the bizarre incident where his phone suddenly started to explode with messages after he initially believed he had done something wrong but later realized it was due to Zara’s subsequent sharing of a selfie with Louis, which confirmed their relationship.

He said: “I’m watching some YouTube video and my phone just starts blowing up. I thought I’d been cancelled!

You know when someone says, “Just checking in mate, is everything ok? ” when you’re like, “Madam, it’s dinged up. and I’m asking “What is going on? ” on my phone.

This chic watch has received rave reviews from critics. Beautiful, elegant, and practical watch, according to one customer. A must-have for both formal wear and formal occasions. I brought this brand with me, and yes, each watch has lasted a lifetime. However, I’ve been asked where I bought this watch numerous times and have received numerous compliments for it. Get this watch for yourself or even as a gift if you’re thinking about getting one.

“Really pleased with this very pretty watch,” added a second. The MoP face with the tiny crystal hour markers is lovely, and the strap’s brushed gold accents add interest.

One customer had the only negative impression that the face was “a little bigger than I was expecting.” If you have small wrists or don’t like the appearance of a bigger watch face, you should take note of this.

Pete Wicks has detailed his cosy holiday with Olivia Attwood that reportedly left her husband “fuming”.

The pair were snapped on a boozy work trip to Ibiza with Love Island star-turned-broadcaster Olivia was said to be ‘in the doghouse’ with her footballer hubby Bradley Dack after the raucous get-away. The reality TV duo were seen partying with their work mates and were papped at Ocean Beach and later on a yacht together, with one of the women going topless.

Olivia was seen seated close to Pete, who wrapped her arm around her back while she relaxed in a striking black bikini. After Bradley’s amused team-mates shared the photos on Gillingham’s WhatsApp group, Olivia’s husband of two years is said to have been left ‘livid’ by the photos.

Ask about it all by pal Sam Thompson in the latest episode of their Staying Relevant podcast, Pete admitted that he always knew the trip would be messy. Responding to the This Morning regular when asked about what he thought would happen, TOWIE legend Pete said: “Going to get off my t*ts!”

He continued, “Liv and I on work trips, what typically happens is that we arrive at the airport early, and by the time we step onto the flight, we are inebriated. which I have no control over, including when we land.

Later, Pete described Olivia as “one of the most independent people I know,” but added that she “kind of gets distracted when I’m there so I’m an airport dad and make sure we know where we’re going.”

Bradley and Olivia’s husband “have an unspoken understanding about her partying,” according to a friend, but the snaps have left him furious. Olivia will never change, according to the source, who described her as “a party girl at heart and has been working so hard this year.”

She “needed some time to blow off some steam.” Due to Bradley’s extreme rage and annoyance, she has a very public profile now. Nothing is happening between Liv and Pete, they’re friends, the pal then went on to say something completely absurd.

Olivia, 34, has been candid about her close friendship with Pete, 36, who calls her his “work wife.” Following his split from Maura Higgins earlier this year, Pete is currently single. Olivia joked that Pete was “her type” in a Kiss FM radio episode prior to their fateful Ibiza trip.

I have a type, and I thought I should mention it because you technically fit into the type, Liv said to Pete in the video. A swamp daddy is what it is called. I’m a swamp daddy, Peter questioned. If I list these people, I believe you might be Post Malone, Theo Vaughan, or Shia LaBeouf, as Olivia explained. Men appear a little wild in person, to be honest. Right, all right. I believe that today, there are still many men in their princess era, and that masculine men are wearing their old clothes.

Before Olivia entered Love Island in 2017, Olivia first began dating football player Bradley. She moved on and connected with Chris Hughes, the actress who also starred in the movie. Olivia and Chris parted ways after a string of bloody rows, though, after returning to the “real world.”

Bradley and Olivia tied the knot in a wedding video on ITV2 the year after their first anniversary the following year. Olivia recently described what it’s like to be married to a football player, saying, “I wouldn’t recommend dating an athlete of any description. There are many things that come with that, in my opinion, would make you very old.
