But earlier today it was revealed how One Direction fans have linked Zara McDermott to Louis Tomlinson.

The pair now follow each other on Instagram, and eagle-eyed fans spotted that Louis’ sisters, including make-up artist Lottie Tomlinson, and twins Daisy and Phoebe, follow Zara too.

Following the revelation, Sam has now took to social media to break his silence.

In a positive Instagram story, he said: “Today’s gonna be great!”

It comes as Sam and Pete Wicks are bringing back their Staying Relevant podcast for one special episode.

The best pals are hoping to sell out London’s O2 Arena this September with the live recording.

Tickets for the show – which will take place on Friday, September 19 – start from just £31.50.

Meanwhile, last week Sam sparked concern with fans after they claimed he ‘looked and sounded so low’ while recording his latest podcast episode.

Neither Sam or Zara have publicly addressed their split.

A source previously lifted the lid on the reasons behind the breakup, telling MailOnline: “Sam and Zara have ended their relationship.

“It’s been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways; they still care and have a lot of love for each other.

“But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025.

“There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it’s just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects.”
