Who is Sam dating?
Sam is in a relationship with former Love Island star Zara McDermott.
The pair star together on Made In Chelsea and became an item in 2019.

Zara and Sam managed to rekindle their romance in November 2020, with a source telling the Daily Mail: “They are certainly back together again. This finally happened about two weeks ago now. He took her back.”
Following her stint on Love Island and MIC, Zara has put her reality TV days behind her and now works as a TV presenter, documentary maker as well as an Instagram influencer and model.

In 2021 he then appeared on Channel 4’s Celebrity Circle.
He’s also made guest appearances on the likes of Tipping Point: Lucky Stars, Sunday Brunch and CelebAbility.
On January 5, 2023, it was revealed that Sam and former Love Island star Indiyah Polack are the new faces of the Love Island podcast and Aftersun panellists.
The duo will also join new host Maya Jama live in London every Sunday night.
Sam shared the exciting news on his Instagram, saying: “We are your new Morning After podcast hosts.”
