Sam Thompson 'grows close' to stunning Too Hot to Handle star after ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott moves on from their five-year romance with One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson


Sam Thompson has 'grown close' to a stunning Netflix star as he bids to move on from his relationship with Zara McDermott.

A source told MailOnline the attraction between Sam, who recently signed up to celebrity dating app Raya, and Lucy was 'instant' and friends are happy the London-born influencer was able to put a smile back on the TV star's face. MailOnline revealed the couple had gone their separate ways shortly after Sam spent an extended period in Australia, where he co-hosted I'm A Celeb spinoff show Unpacked and BBC documentary maker Zara stayed home. Sam won I'm A Celeb in 2023, the same year Zara competed on Strictly with the show's ex-professional dancer Graziano Di Prima, who was axed from the series after he admitted to kicking the former Love Islander during training.
