Reality TV star Zara McDermott took to social media to share how much she is missing her beloved cats as she spends time away from them filming a new documentary
Zara McDermott showed she didn’t need a man in her life as she spent the day looking at images of her “tiny little bears”.
The reality TV star is currently in Thailand filming a new documentary but took the time out to share a gushing post over the pets she used to share with ex Sam Thompson before their split. Sam and Zara stunned their followers last month after announcing they had split up after five years together.
Former Love Island star Zara, 28, and Made In Chelsea star Sam, 32, had lived together in Chelsea, and even shared two designer cats together called Albus and Cedric. Despite their seeming domestic bliss, the duo had reportedly been travelling down different paths over the past few years before their split.
While it was unclear who would take their feline pets, Zara has continuously posted the animals on social media, seemingly showing she had gained ownership. And to mark Valentine’s Day she took to Instagram to share her love for the duo.
Zara uploaded a number of images of the Ragdoll cats, including one in which she beamed as she held them up on the sofa. In the second she is seen hugging her white cat, while she was snapped hand feeding it in the third. Her fourth image saw her mock herself as she zoomed in on the animal’s face and joked it was thinking: “Put. me. down.”
She captioned the post: “Happy Valentine’s Day tiny little bears. I love you more than life !!! You are two of the best things that have ever happened to me… Is it normal to shed a tear when looking at pics of your cats when you’re away from them ?? Asking for a friend .”
The post comes after last month, on Blue Monday, Zara appeared to take a savage swipe at Sam as she re-shared a cryptic TikTok video. The TV star reshared the video which alluded that ‘not everyone has the same heart as her’. The post also questioned why someone ‘would do what they did.’
And she then posted a video of herself taking her beloved pet Albus for a walk on a lead. The move suggested that she has taken ownership of the cats after moving out of the home she shared with Sam.
News of Zara and Sam’s split was first aired at the beginning of the year. At the time a source told the Mail Online: “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.”
