Sam Thompson, the star of Made in Chelsea, has revealed that he is dating a woman for the first time since splitting from his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott.
Four months after his high-profile breakup from Zara McDermott, Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson is stepping back into the dating world – and he’s doing it with newfound self-confidence and some help from his best friend Pete Wicks.
Sam, 32, revealed that despite feeling “absolutely terrified,” he is slowly finding his groove again after appearing on the popular podcast Staying Relevant. He revealed that he had recently enjoyed his first date since splitting from Zara, 28, and that he had recently enjoyed his first date since then.
Sam acknowledged the emotional strain of his breakup, “I feel like I’m ready to get out there.” “I’ve gone through a lot of it, but I finally feel good, really good, and comfortable in my own skin,” he said.
A hilarious play-by-play of the pre-date panic was provided for podcast listeners of the duo’s podcast. He began, “I went on a date recently.” I actually messaged Pete because I was so anxious. He gave me this sweet piece of advice.
Pete was Sam’s unofficial dating coach from where to stand. I called him and inquired, “Do I need to wait outside or inside?” and he says, “You’re overthinking it, mate,”
“Go in, order a drink, chill, and don’t be the weirdo loitering on the sidewalk.” “Pete even suggested texting the mysterious woman to ask what beverage she wanted so that it would be waiting when she arrived.
Sam grinned and said, “That’s such a good idea! ” When she enters, Petere responded, “Show her how stunning she is.” A happy date is possible. Eye contact, but not as a serial killer. “
Pete received a brief call after the date. He proudly said, “I could tell you nailed it,” before gushing to Sam about his nervousness about starting a relationship. Sam politely responded, “Yesterday. However, once you pass that initial hurdle, when you realize she hasn’t recoiled in horror, things actually get fun.
He also admitted to having a few stress-related thoughts, such as whether to wait outside or open her taxi door. I was planning to give her a hug right away. He laughed, “I had no idea what I was doing.” However, Pete provided a solid strategy for me.
I was on the phone to our producer right before she entered, and I was there when I unintentionally blurted that out while she was on the call and she recognized me.
Pete once said, “F***ing hell,” in a humorous way. I still think she enjoyed it. Sam is currently dating someone. Why has he been dressing so well lately?
Sam also addressed the self-esteem dip he experienced following a breakup in an interview about his appearance. He said, “I’m aware that I looked like s**t,” to put it simply. I’ve watched the videos. You’ve really let yourself go, Mate, I tell myself. The situation has changed, though. I’m now feeling genuinely happy and confident once more.
That newfound confidence may have something to do with Love Island alum Samie Elishi. Over the Easter weekend, Sam was spotted enjoying the sunshine and some quality time with Samie at the King’s Road Fine Food Market. According to sources, sparks are flying between the pair and it’s likely that Sam’s first date was with the brunette beauty who appeared on Love Island All Stars earlier this year.
The pair reportedly started chatting via Instagram after Sam’s split from Zara, and their connection deepened quickly. “They really like each other,” a source close to the couple shared. “Sam wasn’t trying to hide it and introduced Samie to Chelsea – that says a lot.”
Their romantic outing comes as Zara continues to make headlines for moving on with former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson.
