Author: Carl SmithPublished 2nd Oct 2020
Just when we thought we were going to have to wait for Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson's oh-so-dramatic break-up to play out on Made in Chelsea, the former Love Island star's penned a letter to her ex-boyfriend; apologising for the 'pain and embarrassment' she's caused him.
After it came to light that Zara had 'cheated' on Sam with music mogul-type Brahim Fouradi during her stint on The X Factor: Celebrity with No Love Lost last year, she's finally admitted her 'huge mistake' and asked for forgiveness.
Writing a heartfelt message to Sam via Instagram, Zara said, 'Hey everyone, I just wanted to address the recent speculation in the media.
'A huge mistake I made a year ago has recently come to light and I want to face this head on.
'I don't condone being unfaithful and I made a huge mistake at a time in my life where I was hugely selfish and immature.
'I believe I have learnt so much from my mistake.
'I want to apologise to my Sam for everything I have put him through, for the pain, the embarrassment, the anger and the hurt.'
Zara continued, 'All I want to do is make this right and I think the least he deserves is me being honest with myself and all of you.
'I love you Sam. Forever.' (sic)
Well the scene's certainly been set for the inevitable Made in Chelsea showdown!
Check out these Made In Chelsea couples you totally forgot about:

9. Alex Mytton and Binky Felstead
Binky and Alex were love's young dream (kinda) for two years until his constant cheating became unforgivable. It all worked out well though as she now has the cutest little baby girl with JP.
1. Jamie Laing and Louise Thompson
Remember when Jamie and Louise dated (much to Spencer's dismay) in 2012. Louise then left Jamie for Spencer, causing a very traumatic love triangle indeed. Poor Jamie.
2. Binky Felstead and Jamie Laing
Binks may be loving life with baby India, but remember when she dated Jamie Laing?!? Yes, we forgot too. After years of friendship, the two found it difficult to transition to an actual relationship, so decided to call it a day.
3. Lucy Watson and Jamie Laing
Jamie and Lucy were together for a bit and would even walk their dogs together. Not one for holding back, Lucy Watson has called the show 'incestuous' and she 'no longer wants to waste time with people like Jamie and Proudlock'. BURN.
4. Lucy Watson and Proudlock
Ah yes, Lucy and Proudlock. They were the most swoon-worthy couple in SW3... oh, until Lucy found out that Proudlock was dating other women.
5. Ollie Locke and Chloe Green
Topshop Heiress Chloe Green joined the MIC lot in 2011 to date Ollie Locke. Ollie had previously dated Gabby who he broke up with to explore his feelings for men, only to then end up with another woman. It did not go down well...
6. Rosie Fortescue and Hugo Taylor
When Hugo was dating Millie Mackintosh in the show, he hooked up with her best friend Rosie. Millie then raised her glass to a party full of guests and said 'cheers to friendship'.
7. Spencer Matthews and Lucy Watson
Spenny took Lucy to Paris in 2013 and we almost believed he had given up his womanising ways. We were wrong and he admitted to cheating on Lucy with several women. Sigh.
8. Spencer Matthews and Louise Thompson
Louise joined the show as Spencer's (very despairing) girlfriend. Spencer being Spencer, couldn't stay faithful and resulted in a fair few teary scenes between the pair.

This all comes after Sam's best mate and former Celebs Go Dating co-star Pete Wicks revealed how he's really getting on following the split.
Speaking to heat, Pete spilled, "He’s doing well. He’s a good guy. He’s sensitive and I think it was all a bit of a shock but he’s doing well. He’s still young and he’s a catch so he’s got his whole life ahead of him. The world is his oyster."
Made In Chelsea continues every Monday night on E4.
