Sam Thompson's heartache over Zara McDermott's speedy new romance with Louis Tomlinson after his five year relationship struggled to recover from Love Island beauty's cheating shame


Zara McDermott has well and truly moved on from her five year romance with Sam Thompson, enjoying a romantic date with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson this week.

Zara's fling with a music executive came to light 16 months after she started dating Sam, with the scandal playing out in the public eye as the split and their subsequent reunion was documented on Made In Chelsea. Zara was appearing on the Celebrity X Factor as part of a group comprised of ex-Love Island contestants on the one-off ITV series, eventually won by former TOWIE star Megan McKenna. The repercussions of the affair continued for years though with sources close to the couple telling MailOnline at the time of their January split that Sam's family never quite forgave Zara, despite their attempts to welcome her back into the fold.
