“Pete you are an amazing friend and really helped him through it even though you could tell he didn’t want to laugh!!

Zara’s split from Sam after five years together was confirmed in December, with the former Strictly star later revealing she had moved out of their Fulham home.

She was amongst the first to arrive at the awards in a bid to avoid an awkward run in with Sam.

Our insiders at the bash revealed Sam arrived on the carpet some time later looking sheepish.

His sister Louise was also at the ceremony and shared footage of herself getting ready before arriving.
