Zara McDermott avoids awkward red carpet run in with ex Sam Thompson and his sister as she glams up for BRITs
ZARA McDermott was amongst the first to arrive at tonight’s Brit Awards in a bid to avoid an awkward run in with her ex Sam Thompson.
The 28-year-old looked incredible for her first red carpet since the split wearing a white gown with feathered details – showing off her tanned and toned legs.
Our insiders at the bash revealed Sam arrived on the carpet some time later looking sheepish.
His sister Louise was also at the ceremony and shared footage of herself getting ready before arriving.
Sam has turned to his sister more than ever since the break up and even spent Valentine’s Day with her.
It was revealed last month how the Made In Chelsea legend, 32, and the former Love Island star, 28, had ended their five-year-long relationship.
Sam and Zara have both been keeping busy since their shock break-up.
The I’m A Celebrity champ has been working on multiple TV projects including the Love Island podcast, whilst Zara has been working on a new documentary for BBC3 in Thailand.
The pair are yet to directly address the break up but speaking on Love Island’s The Morning After podcast with Indiyah Polack and Amy Hart a couple of weeks ago, Sam suggested Zara may have been responsible for the split.
He explained that Louise has always gotten on well with his girlfriends.
Sam continued: “Most of the time when we break up, it’s my fault and she’ll ask, ‘WHAT have you done?’
“And I’m like, ‘it’s not even me!’”
Although he didn’t explicitly name Zara, his comments appeared to imply that their split wasn’t his fault.
A source previously lifted the lid on the reasons behind the split, telling 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.”
