Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson and former Love Island star Zara McDermott are becoming increasingly public about their relationship on social media.

The reality tv pair confirmed their relationship after being spotted walking hand-in-hand through London, shortly after leaving Sam's flat.

Their relationship comes after Zara shockingly split from fellow Love Island star Adam Collard on Valentines Day this year (2019), and also silenced rumours that she was dating pop-star Olly Murs.

Sam Thompson, 26, posted a loved-up picture to his Instagram of Zara playfully kissing his cheek in the sun with the caption, 'I can think of worse Saturdays 🙂' sic.

Zara was quick to respond to Sam's loving Instagram and commented, 'My favourite person x' sic.

The ex Love Island contestant also reposted Sam's picture to her own Instagram story with a red heart.

Zara has been spotted posting romantic comments on Sam's Instagram before, with comments like 'Stunning' and even 'I ❤️u' on another.

MIC's Sam recently spoke of how the two first got together, saying to OK! Magazine, 'She slid into my DMs,' and admitting, 'It was great and I’m glad she did.'

Sam further explained, 'Do you know what, I don’t want to say too much, but we’ve been on a few dates, it’s been a few weeks now.

'We’re not exclusive, because everyone in this game rushes everything! There’s no need to. If you rush into things, sometimes you make a mistake and it gets too intense… she’s a really, really lovely girl and she’s incredibly beautiful.'
