Louise Thompson reveals what she REALLY thinks of her brother Sam’s ex Zara McDermott after fans claimed she ‘didn’t like her’

Louise Thompson refuted fan speculations about her supposed dislike for Zara McDermott, Sam’s former partner, following her remarks during the latest installment of his podcast.

Previously known from the series “Made In Chelsea”, aged 35, recently appeared as a guest on his brother’s show titled “Staying Relevant”. During this week’s broadcast, he was queried about who his perfect match would be.

Louise expressed that she desires Sam to engage in a relationship with an individual whom she can easily connect with, which sparked speculation among some fans that this might imply a strain in their relationship with Zara.

Zara and Sam parted ways around last year-end, following a relationship spanning over five years. Currently, the Love Island celebrity is in a new relationship with Louis Tomlinson from One Direction.

However, when a fan on Instagram remarked that Louise appeared not to like Zara following a podcast clip, the celebrity countered this opinion by expressing her affection for Zara, stating she ‘truly admired’ her instead.

When asked about Sam’s perfect match, Louise expressed her preference for someone who works in a typical profession, not related to media. She thinks such a scenario could be intriguing…

You could benefit from someone who provides gentle corrective feedback, someone assertive enough to challenge you and keep you accountable for your actions.

Or:

It might be advantageous to have a person around who can help keep you in check occasionally, someone bold enough to stand up to you and ensure you don’t overstep boundaries.

After saying that, she mentioned, “If you’re aiming for fame, could you please find someone who I would connect well with. I have an idea, a young British actress – perhaps Emma Watson from Harry Potter.

Following the posting of the interaction on Staying Relevant’s Instagram, a user remarked: ‘It seems to me that Louise may not have felt particularly fond of Zara… I can’t fault her for that.’

To clarify, let me jump in right away. In truth, I genuinely appreciated Zara.

Louise’s ex-neighbor Zara is no longer involved with Sam after their five-year relationship ended. Instead, she began a new relationship with Louis as early as March.

The unexpected new romance emerged swiftly following the Love Island celebrity’s split with Sam in December.

The reality TV personality from Made In Chelsea has also made a subtle, mysterious jab at how quickly his ex appears to have moved on. During the recent episode of his podcast, he commented that ‘many individuals seek validation in others and immediately look for the next person because it’s as if they are saying “I must find someone else to fill this void and I need to discover that excitement again.”‘

It doesn’t feel natural or easy for me to experience the thrill of meeting someone new and starting a conversation.

16 months into her relationship with Sam, details of Zara’s brief romance with a music executive emerged, creating a public spectacle that unfolded on ‘Made In Chelsea’, including the breakup and their later reconciliation.

2019 marked a brief romantic encounter between Zara and Brahim Fouradi, who previously worked as an artists and repertoire (A&R) director for Syco under Simon Cowell. This liaison took place when Zara was participating in another television program, X Factor, interestingly enough the same platform that launched Louis’s career.

On a special edition of ITV’s Celebrity X Factor, Zara was featured alongside other past Love Island competitors. In the end, it was Megan McKenna, a previous TOWIE personality, who took home the victory.

32-year-old Sam broke up with Zara following her affair in September 2019, and the events that followed were portrayed on Made In Chelsea, culminating in their eventual reconciliation.

For a considerable period after the incident, the consequences lingered, as it was reported by individuals near the couple during their separation in January. It was said that Sam’s family found it challenging to forgive Zara, even with their efforts to reconcile and accept her again.

34-year-old Louise, Sam’s caring sibling, was the one who strongly voiced her disapproval towards Zara. She inquired from her brother about his decision to welcome her back again. However, she consented, considering him, to offer another opportunity to Zara.

However, despite their attempts to make it work, the couple’s bond didn’t last long-term. They formally ended their relationship in December, marking nearly five and a half years since her infidelity incident.
