Zara McDermott shared a snap with her boyfriend Sam Thompson as they enjoyed an ice cream date after rumours of trouble between the pair surfaced.
SAM THOMPSON AND ZARA MCDERMOTT’S ROW
The I’m A Celebrity winner, 31, was pictured in tears at the TRIC Awards earlier this week, having to be consoled by his best friend, Pete Wicks, 36.
It was then reported on Saturday that Sam’s heartache was caused by a ‘blazing row’ with Zara, 27, which saw her pack her bags last weekend and leave the London home they share.
THEY COOL OFF THE CONCERNS
But the pair appeared to brush off the reports as Zara took to Instagram later that day to share a picture of her and Sam’s ice creams out in the sunshine.
‘Feeling gutted because this ice cream van didn’t have any sprinkles,’ she captioned the picture.
Earlier in the day, Sam headed to his sister Louise’s son’s sports day – but Zara did not feature in any of the posts suggesting she did not join them.
A source close to the couple revealed to The Sun they are now trying to ‘patch things up’.
The insider said: ‘Since Christmas, Zara and Sam have been really busy with work and have had little quality time to see each other and as a result, their relationship has suffered.
‘They’ve both wanted to make the most of their careers and say yes to all the exciting opportunities offered to them.
‘Last weekend it came to a head and they had a big row. It was very upsetting and they needed some time to let the dust settle.’
