Zara McDermott breaks down on MIC as extent of 'cheating' is exposed
Her split from Sam Thompson is set to air next week
Author: Nathan KatnoriaPublished 14th Oct 2020
They weren’t the first celeb couple to bite the dust this year (and probably won’t be the last), but we were shocked when it emerged that Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott had split, and even more so when reports claimed that the former Love Island star had 'cheated' on him with a music industry boss during her stint on The X Factor: Celebrity.
Zara recently confessed to doing the dirty on Sam with Brahim Fouradi in an open letter she penned to her ex and shared with her 1.4 million Instagram followers, and now the extent of the drama is to finally be revealed in the next episode of Made in Chelsea.
In scenes set to air next week, the 23-year-old breaks down in tears as she admits to sleeping with Brahim and begs for Sam’s forgiveness.
A preview for the next episode of the E4 show sees Zara at lunch with pals including Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo, but when asked if she’s okay, she tearfully reveals, “No. Around a year ago, I slept with someone.”
In the next scene, Sam tells Jamie, “Zara was the one, mate. I can't be alone. I hate being alone,” to which his best friend warns, “You have to remember the betrayal that you've received, the deceit. The fact that his could easily happen again.”
Zara and Sam then finally come face-to-face, where he confronts her about her cheating.
“You are so good at lying,” Sam fumes as Zara can be seen crying on a bench.
She then begs him, “I just want you to forgive me.”
Check out these Made In Chelsea couples you totally forgot about:
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.

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.

Although it remains to be seen whether Sam and Zara can patch things up, she recently paid tribute to him on Instagram with a video montage dedicated to “the love of my life”.
Alongside a series of video clips of her and Sam, which was soundtracked by the song 'Over and Over Again' by Nathan Sykes, Zara wrote, 'There aren’t enough words to describe how I feel about you. You are my favourite person, my truest love. I made this video montage for you of our memories over these last few years. I want to create a million more memories like these throughout the rest of my life... with you.
'I am sorry our journey hasn’t been the easiest, and I am forever wishing I could find a way to turn back the clock. Remember... you are everything. You are my moon and all my stars and everything in between. ❤️ I miss you. I love you more and more every day.'
Made In Chelsea airs on Monday night at 9pm on E4.
