Zara McDermott dropped huge clue she’d split from Sam Thompson days ago – and nobody noticed
ZARA McDermott appeared to drop a huge clue that she and Sam Thompson had split – but nobody noticed.
Yesterday it was reported the couple had gone their separate ways after five years together.
But it seems Zara, 28, previously dropped a huge hint when she took to social media to reflect on 2024.
The former Love Island star posted a montage of clips and photos from the year on Instagram.
While Sam was seen in the post, fans noticed he wasn’t mentioned Zara’s lengthy caption.
She shared highlights from 2024 – including shooting her documentaries, joining the Morning Live presenting team and launching a new business – but her ex-Made in Chelsea star boyfriend didn’t make the cut.
Commenting, one fan wrote: “So, no Sam this year?”
On New Year’s Day the MailOnline reported Sam and Zara had split, with a source claiming their hectic schedules had forced them apart.
An insider said: “Sam and Zara have ended their relationship. It’s been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways, they still care and have a lot of love for each other.
“But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025.
“There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it’s just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects.”
Zara and Sam also spent New Year’s Eve apart, with her sharing a snap at home with one of their cats.
Meanwhile Sam was seen in a clip knocking back shots during a boozy night out with his MIC co-stars.
Zara previously revealed she and Sam were not together for Christmas.
She told fans: “Bit of a different Christmas this year. I got put in touch with a charity. The camila batmanghelidjh foundation to be exact.
“They were struggling this year after the sad passing of Camila, and I was lucky enough to get the call up to deliver gifts across London to possibly the nicest, most selfless bunch of people I’ve ever met.
“What could have been another standard Christmas has turned out to be one that I’ll never forget!”
