Where do we even start with the Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott's relationship?! Since they first started dating in 2019, it looked like Made In Chelsea star Sam had finally found the one in the Love Island beauty, but things have taken a sour turn over the last few weeks.

As played out on Made In Chelsea, Zara confessed to cheating on Sam with a music producer during her time on The X Factor: Celebrity last year, but the 23-year-old hasn't given up on their romance, posting some pretty intense things to her socials.

Although she was mocked by a number of fans, it looks like Zara's perseverance has paid off, as fans are now convinced the pair are back together.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that both Sam and Zara were not only both at the SAME gym yesterday, but they were also doing a session with the SAME personal trainer, at the SAME time!

And the pair didn't keep this a secret, with both Sam and Zara posting about their personal sessions on socials.

Sharing a mirror selfie, Zara wrote, 'Just another day at the office @christopherbarker_pt' (sic)

Sam, who recently followed his ex-girlfriend Tiffany Watson on Instagram, then posted a video of himself in the same gym, telling fans, 'Working on my depth 100kg felt good today though'. (sic)

As if this wasn't enough 'evidence', reports are now suggesting Sam and Zara enjoyed Sunday lunch with some close friends at the weekend, before the new lockdown comes into place.

The new drama comes after Zara sent Sam a handwritten letter during Monday night's episode of Made In Chelsea, to which she followed up by sharing a loved-up snap of the pair kissing to her Instagram page.

She captioned the shot with, '“I choose you. And I’ll choose you over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I’ll keep choosing you.” ❤️'. (sic)

Sam is yet to publicly speak about their split, but he did share a Tik Tok video seemingly mocking Zara's break down on Made In Chelsea, to which he swiftly deleted.

However, the reality star was quick to state he had Zara's full permission to post the video.
