Sam Thompson’s best friend Pete Wicks and sister Louise Thompson have mocked his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott six months on from their shock split as he takes on a gruelling Unicef challenge

Pete Wicks has taken a huge swipe at Sam Thompson’s ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott during the Made In Chelsea star’s 260-mile endurance challenge on both bike and foot in aid of Unicef.

Holding a sign that read “You caaaaaan” – a cheeky nod to Zara’s emotional plea to Sam after her cheating confession – the TOWIE star shouted the words with a cigarette in his mouth. Posting the moment on Instagram, Pete wrote: “Pete pulled through with the best motivation. Sam was a big fan. Drop in the comments which sign is your favourite?”

Sam, 33, mid-run and visibly limping from a calf injury, broke down in tears when he spotted Pete waiting for him. In the emotional clip shared on their Staying Relevant page, the pair embraced, with Pete reassuring him: “You all right? Come here. It’s alright.” Sam, surprised, replied: “I didn’t know you were coming.”

“Of course I’m coming. Do you think I’d miss this?” Pete said. “I’m so proud of you. You’re smashing it.” Sam then admitted through tears: “I don’t think I’m smashing it.”

Pete didn’t hesitate in his response as he encouraged: “You are smashing it. Are you still going? There you go. You’re smashing it… You’re the guy before you started, you’re the guy now and you’re going to be the guy when you finish. You got this.”

Sam’s big sister Louise also took a swipe at Zara after Pete’s hilarious quip. On TikTok and Instagram, Louise, 35, used the iconic sound ‘You can’ from Zara’s emotional breakdown on Made In Chelsea. The move didn’t go unnoticed by fans who were left in hysterics.

“Ohhhhh Zara is not going to be pleased about this one guys,” one fan quipped. Another echoed: “SHADE of the highest degree. I couldn’t love this anymore.” Someone else joked: “I have a feeling Zara is gonna be livid about this. What GREAT use of this iconic sound.”

Sam began the gruelling challenge on June 2, aiming to run a marathon a day – with some cycling due to injury – until he reaches Old Trafford for Soccer Aid on June 15, raising funds for children’s welfare through UNICEF.

The former TOWIE and Made In Chelsea stars have forged a solid bond over the past six years. Speaking to The Mirror recently about his strong friendship with Sam, Pete said his best friend truly came out of his shell and realised his worth when he and Zara, 28, split in December.

Zara, who is now smitten with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, is said to have ended her five-year relationship with Sam before Christmas. “Sam had a ‘different’ start to the year,” Pete said of Sam’s split with Zara. “Part of being someone’s friend is being there no matter what – to say, ‘things are always going to get better,’ and they have.”

Pete then confessed that Sam is more self confident and self-assured than ever after the break-up. “He’s great. Sometimes it’s about allowing people to work on themselves, realise their worth. I hope I’ve helped him do that, because he’s amazing, and he deserves the best,” his best friend gushed.

“Sam’s my little finger! He’s unapologetically himself. People think the dynamic stops once the cameras are off but no, he still rings me 15 times a day to chat. It’s nice to share this mad journey with someone I love. He’ll have a heart attack when he finds out I’ve said that.”
