Pete Wicks dishes on Sam Thompson’s love life after split from Zara McDermott

Sam Thompson is currently mending his broken heart after he split from Love Island beauty Zara McDermott.

And his close pal Pete Wicks has shared on how the Made In Chelsea chap is doing after his relationship ended.

The TOWIE star, 31, who became friends with Sam, 28, during a stint on Celebs Go Dating has told that Sam is doing well despite being shocked by the end of the romance.

He told Heat magazine : “He’s doing well. He’s a good guy. He’s sensitive and I think it was all a bit of a shock but he’s doing well. He’s still young and he’s a catch so he’s got his whole life ahead of him. The world is his oyster.”

Pete added that he has been checking in on Sam on daily basis and added: “I just want him to be happy. He’s literally like a little brother to me. Actually, I’m more like his dad.”

It is thought Sam and Zara split last month, with reports suggesting that the reality telly beauty was unfaithful to him.

Their dramatic split will reportedly play out in front of the cameras on Made In Chelsea for all their fans to see.

Zara is said to trying to salvage her relationship with Sam amid the cheating rumours.

Sam left to film for Channel 4’s The Circle, but now an insider claims that Zara has vowed to regain his trust and that she’s “fighting so hard to get him back.”

“Their relationship is hanging in the balance,” a source said, “Sam left to film The Circle saying he couldn’t be with Zara right now.”

The source added to The Sun : “She’s fighting so hard to get him back. She’s going to do everything she can to prove he can trust her again.”

They went on to say that Zara “loves [Sam] so much”, and that there are plans to meet up and chat once Sam’s returned.

“It’ll be make or break for their relationship,” the insider concluded.

Meanwhile, another source told MailOnline that Zara has moved back to her parents place in Essex to clear her head.

They first announced their romance back in May 2019, Sam revealing that Zara had slid into his DMs.

But he’d also been dropping likes on her Insta posts to “let her know I was there.”
