Louise Thompson appeared to confirm her brother Sam Thompson’s split from girlfriend Zara McDermott when she addressed their future friendship on Instagram on Friday.

However, this week it was revealed that Sam and Zara split after five years as they grew apart and spent Christmas and New Year apart.

Neither Sam nor Zara have yet to discuss their split, but Louise took to social media to share a new post of her having a ‘burial and burning ritual’ in her garden after ‘one of the best and worst years’ of her life .

One fan quickly took to the comments and asked Louise how she would move forward with her friendship with Zara. They wrote: ‘I hope you don’t just drop Zara’.

Louise seemed to make a defiant statement about her friendship with Zara by liking the comment.

Another fan added: ‘Liking this comment basically confirmed the breakup for all of us!!’

It comes after Sam and Zara fans became convinced they know the real reason why the pair split after five years together.

The I’m A Celebrity winner, 32, and the Strictly star, 28, have gone their separate ways just a month after Sam shared a gushing post about his ‘soulmate’ Zara on her birthday.

In the Instagram post, the radio host described Zara as his “best friend” who is “stuck to him forever.”

He wrote: ‘My best friend and soulmate… some would say my person. I’m afraid you’re stuck with me forever. Congratulations. I love you so much, and wow, have I missed you this past month! Here’s to another great year with you’.

However, fans have now taken over the comments and say it was his lack of action that led to the couple splitting, saying Sam should have asked Zara to marry him.

They wrote: ‘In the words of Beyoncé. If you like it, put a ring on it’; Imagine, no time like the present; Mate, buy her a ring FFS;

However, many have suggested that Zara’s cheating in 2019 may have affected their relationship.

Sam and Zara regularly made fun TikTok videos with his sister Louis and her partner Ryan Libbey and the group also traveled together on luxury holidays

In the 2019 edition of The X Factor: Celebrity, it was revealed that Zara cheated on Sam with Brahim Fouradi, a music industry executive who has worked on talent shows such as The . Syco. Clearly, this breach of trust had a profound effect on Sam.

Sam ended their 16-month relationship in September 2020 after he got wind of her affair with Brahim.

Zara admitted to being unfaithful in now iconic scenes featured in E4 reality show Made In Chelsea, which aired in 2020. At the time, Sam was widely criticized for accepting Zara’s apology and taking her back, while Zara also faced abuse online for her actions.

Discussing their recent split after spending the holidays apart, a friend told MailOnline: ‘Zara and Sam’s relationship never felt like it was heading for the long term.

‘They never really recovered from Zara’s cheating, most couples would have lasted as long as they did after that.

‘Zara had something to make up for, especially with Louise. She really wasn’t happy when Sam took her back. But she managed to make it work and they had great times together again, but it just felt like it would never really get serious.

“They postponed the inevitable for several months because they had grown apart and their lives had become very different.”
