Radio star Sam Thompson opened up about his split from Love Island star Zara McDermott during a chat with Paul C Brunson on his podcast
Sam Thompson has revealed the pain of his breakup with Zara McDermott as she moved on from the relationship with Louis Tomlinson. The Made In Chelsea and Love Island star Zara ended their relationship in December after five years together, with Zara recently confirming she has moved out of their Chelsea home.
A few months after the breakup was confirmed, Zara, 28, was spotted enjoying a cosy date with One Direction musician Louis, 33, at a hotel in Aldeburgh in Suffolk. A fellow guest spotted the duo tucking into a romantic meal following a string of past dates. The duo were seen giggling and holding hands while they dined on £100 fish and chips plus cocktails.
Amid their split, Sam discussed recovering from a relationship on his podcast, Staying Relevant, with guest Paul C Brunson. During their chat, Sam asked dating expert Paul how to handle ‘being given the boot’ as he noted how fans noticed how he had ‘sadness behind his eyes’.
“I went through a breakup, and everyone keeps saying they can see the sadness behind the eyes,” Sam said. Answering the I’m A Celeb star’s question; Paul said: “This is a tough one, and this is a deep one. The first thing is that you have to identify the emotion and sit in it,” to which Sam cut in to add: “Horrible.”
Paul continued: “For example, if I were to ask you what emotion you feel… There’s a difference between emotions and feelings. Emotions are our innate response to stimuli and feelings are our psychological interpretations of our emotions. If I were to walk onto a stage, the emotion could be fear but the feeling for you and me would be excitement. For others, it could be terrifying. The Emotion is fear, the feeling is excitement.”
Paul told Sam there are ‘six core emotions’ as the former MIC star listened intensively. He used the acronym ‘SAD FSH’ to help, revealing S stood for ‘sadness’, A is ‘anger’, D is ‘disgust’, F is ‘fear’, S is ‘surprise’ and H is ‘happiness’. Paul also spoke about the importance of self love and when he asked Sam what he was doing when it comes to self love, Sam admitted: “Not much.”
After Zara split from Made In Chelsea boyfriend Sam earlier this year, it has now been revealed that she has bought her own property – and it’s just around the corner from the home they shared together. She bought her new home for £500,000, a source told The Sun. They said : “She bought it two weeks ago under her company name, it’s a two bed flat in a nice area and weirdly, not that far from where she lived with Sam. It will make it really awkward when they cross paths at the local pub or in a coffee shop, though.”
She was most recently spotted with Louis at a hotel restaurant. The guest who snapped the pictures of the two stars tucking into their £100 meal remarked how the pair looked like they were “having a great time” as they touched hands across the table. They noted how “Zara had a few cocktails” and “Louis was really making her giggle” as they spoke for ages in the swanky venue.
