Sam Thompson spent the Easter weekend with new love interest Samie Elishi after it was revealed the pair are dating.

The former I’m A Celeb winner, 32, romanced Samie, 25, at the King’s Road Fine Food Market as sources close to the couple say ‘they really like each other.’

It comes days after Sam’s ex-Zara McDermott, 28, went public with One Direction boyfriend Louis Tomlinson, 33, who she was pictured kissing in Los Angeles.

Sam first met Samie, who appeared on Love Island in 2023 and returned to the All Stars series this year, through his presenting role on spinoff, Aftersun.

But following his breakup from 2018 Islander Zara, Sam and Samie started exchanging flirty messages over Instagram before hitting it off in person.

An insider says Sam, who has been playing the field since finding himself single again, is beginning to feel sure on Samie and didn’t mind who saw them out together in Chelsea.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Sam and Samie are really getting along and if early signs are anything to go by, this could turn into a long-term relationship.

‘It may be early days still, but they do really like each other.

‘Sam is already introducing Samie to Chelsea by showing her off on the King’s Road over the Easter weekend and given how popular he is in the area, it meant a lot that he wasn’t hiding her away.’

The new couple spent Easter weekend getting to know each other better as Zara and Louis also enjoyed the Bank Holiday in London.

MailOnline revealed that former Strictly star Zara had been spotted with singer Louis at a Sainsbury’s Local self-service checkout on Easter Sunday.

The couple wore laidback clothing as they were seen with their arms affectionately round each other while purchasing snacks in the supermarket.

Zara’s relationship with Louis was first revealed in March after the two were spotted at hotel The Suffolk in Aldeburgh.

They have since been inseparable, spending time together in Los Angeles and London, as well as with Zara’s close-knit family.

Samie met ex-boyfriend Tom Clare on Love Island in 2023, but the pair’s romance was short-lived.

The footballer is now in a long-term relationship with fitness influencer Molly Smith, who he won All Stars with last year.

After receiving flirty DMs from Luca Bish, Samie hoped to turn his head on the All Stars series but his connection with Grace Jackson proved too strong. 

Samie has been single since her split from ex-TOWIE cast member Harry Lee, who she split from in September last year.

MailOnline revealed Sam and Zara had gone their separate ways after five years on New Year’s Day after the Chelsea regular was seen partying with his former co-stars.
