Sam Thompson finally speaks out after being spotted crying uncontrollably and raising suspicions that he and girlfriend Zara McDermott are having «crisis talks»
Sam Thompson has spoken out following rumors that he has been having «crisis talks» with Zara McDermott, following his solace from friend Pete Wicks at the TRIC Awards on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old I’m A Celebrity winner was seen having a tearful conversation with a close friend in the smoking area of the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, according to photos .
Pete gave Sam a tender embrace when it seemed like he started crying, but the Made in Chelsea star has since revealed why he was feeling that way.
He said he had received some distressing news that day when speaking on his podcast Staying Relevant, but he insisted he wasn’t crying.
«I wasn’t crying; I wasn’t crying in real life.» That’s all I want to say to everyone right now.
«Look, there is no way around this.» I’m not going to lie; I was pretty depressed after hearing some terrible news.
Sam narrated how Pete comforted him and offered to be a shoulder to weep on by taking him around the back of the hotel.
«I let it go, I let it all out,» he clarified. I’m giving Pete a head butt. As he caresses me under his armpit and says, «I am always there for you, blah blah blah,» I can’t help but feel sorry for myself.
Both the duo’s podcast and I’m A Celeb received nominations for awards during the ceremony, but none of them took home the prize.
Pete made a joke to lighten the situation, saying, «I think it was Sam’s way of letting out the fact that we hadn’t won an award.» That’s probably where the tears came from.
Sam’s most recent podcast episode was released following rumors that he and his girlfriend Zara have been having «crisis talks.»
Sam praised his listeners and fans for reaching out and offering their support following the TRIC photos, although he avoided talking about his relationship at the time.
«I really appreciate it,» he concluded. Many thanks for it. Although everything are well now, the past was difficult.
Sam’s anguish was reportedly brought on by a «blazing row» with Zara, 27, which resulted in her packing up her belongings and moving out of their shared London home over the weekend.
On Tuesday, though, things seemed to be improving after the presenter sent an update video on his Instagram Story.
It’s going to be a great day today! I’m always correct. «It’s going to be fantastic,» smiled Sam.
And the episode of the Staying Relevant podcast that was released yesterday is among my all-time favorites that I believe I have ever recorded, he continued.Pete really is in such great shape right now!

Sam and Zara, his girlfriend, were photographed filming together in Chelsea last week, following reports of strained feelings between them.
However, the two seemed to ignore the rumors in favor of working on their careers, as seen by a video that MailOnline exclusively got that showed them filming a project together.
It’s unclear what the couple was aiming at, but they had just arrived at the scene after accompanying Sam’s sister Louise Thompson to watch her two-year-old nephew Leo participate in sports on Eel Brook Common.
Zara was conspicuously missing from a number of social media posts made that day, raising questions about whether or not she had joined the Thompson family.
However, the Love Island celebrity disclosed on her Instagram Stories the same day that the two had stolen two ice creams from a truck while out and about.
She captioned a photo of them holding out cones together, seemingly putting up a unified front: «Feeling gutted because this ice cream van didn’t have any sprinkles.»
The couple is reportedly going through a difficult time, but a source close to the pair said that they are currently attempting to «patch things up.»
The informant The Sun: «Since Christmas, Zara and Sam have been extremely busy at work and haven’t spent much time together, which has negatively impacted their relationship.»
Both of them have aspired to maximize their professional lives by seizing any fascinating opportunity that presents itself.
It escalated last weekend, leading to a heated argument. They needed some time to let the dust to settle because it was quite unpleasant.
The article claims that Zara stayed with her parents in Essex before traveling to Majorca for a modeling job.
The reality star then shared a picture of herself standing in a minidress along with a cryptic caption about maintaining optimism when life hands you lemons.
Now that she is back in Britain, it is thought that she and her partner are attempting to save their relationship.
Zara went back home to try to «iron out their differences,» the person continued.
It happened only a few weeks after Zara McDermott, Sam’s fiancée, and the actor got into a similarly heated argument over text, but the actress later claimed that their conversation was simply a «passionate pep talk.»
The two looked to fall into a furious argument when they were photographed together at the Soccer Aid afterparty.
But after it appeared like they were fighting, Zara took to Instagram the next day to address the photos and said she was giving the reality star «positive affirmations.»
«Why did this make me laugh so much, by the way? [laughing emojis],» she wrote.Give up blaming yourself for not scoring!
You must quit doubting who you are!
«Although it appears like we are fighting, I’m actually giving him passionate, positive affirmations.»
Zara shook her arms wildly during a stressful conversation, giving the impression that she was furious. However, she later clarified that the exchange was simply very passionate.
Four years have passed since the Love Island star «slid into his DMs» with the other person.
They briefly broke up in 2020 when he found out she had cheated on him with a coworker while participating in X Factor: Celebrity, but their romance was reignited by the scenes from Made in Chelsea.
