Sam Thompson’s sister’s fling with One Direction star resurfaces as his ex Zara McDermott moves on with Louis Tomlinson
SAM Thompson’s big sister’s fling with a huge One Direction star has resurfaced after his ex Zara McDermott’s new relationship was revealed.
The Made In Chelsea alum has been “blindsided” by Zara, 28, moving on with band member Louis Tomlinson, 33, as exclusively reported by The Sun.
We were first to reveal images of Love Island alum Zara‘s date with the dad-of-one in a cosy hotel – and click here to see The Sun’s exclusive pictures of their night out.
Staying Relevant Podcast host Sam, 32, who made reference to his heartache shortly before her relationship was revealed, now faces a double blow with his sibling’s love life being brought into the spotlight.
His sister Louise, 34, – who also starred in E4 series MIC – “had a secret date with Niall Horan” back in 2013.
It came following a series of flirty texts and Night Changes vocalist Niall, 31, is said to have sent a car to pick her up.
At the time, a source told The Sun: “Louise has gushed about Niall for weeks.
“They were on the phone last week when he suggested she go over and sent a car.
“It was secretive and exciting.”
Louise is then said to have spent the night at Louis’ home.
At the time, Niall was in the X Factor-formed boyband with Louis, as well as Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and the late Liam Payne.
RAW REVEAL
Louise is now engaged to fiancé Ryan Libbey and the pair share son Leo.
This week, she opened up on her series of health issues as she broke down on her podcast, admitting she was “burnt out.”
In a short clip promoting the show, the former reality star struggled to hold back the tears as she talked about struggling with her hectic life.
Speaking to Ryan, Louise said: “People think you’re just an influencer, you’re just out there having a lunch everyday, you’re having a good time, you’re larking around with your brother.
“It’s not true, I don’t have a second in the day, I don’t take a lunch break. I am back to back with meetings.”
Mum-of-one Louise, who who has had various health battles, including ulcerative colitis and lupus, continued: “I look at people who have grown really successful businesses that aren’t necessarily influencers and they have teams, you have to have a team.
“And they have teams of ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred people… you have to scale up. “‘I’ve basically realised in the last six months that I’m doing at least five people’s jobs.
“I think it’s fine though to also have a bit of a burnt out moment and be like, it’s all part of the journey. I don’t need to be perfect.”
Ryan then said “You shouldn’t be having burnout in the second month of a brand new year, you just shouldn’t.”
NEW ROMANCE
Last week, The Sun revealed exclusive photos of Zara and Louis on a romantic staycation in Suffolk.
A source said: “Louis whisked Zara away for a break in Suffolk and he absolutely charmed her.
“It’s clear he thinks she’s drop-dead gorgeous too.
“For now they’re taking things slowly and enjoying each other’s company to see where it takes them.”
The Sun revealed Louis and Zara were seen giggling and holding hands while they dined on £100 fish and chips on their date.
Sam is soon set for a reunion with Zara’s new man during the upcoming Soccer Aid challenge on June 15.
Both Sam and Louis will be playing for England, which they have done in previous years.
