Sam Thompson was spotted out with a mystery blonde on a night out in London before leaving together in a taxi on Saturday.

The TV and radio star, 33, was joined by the unknown woman as they arrived at The Rex Rooms together and later left in the same car.

They looked cosy as they sat in the back of the vehicle together, with the woman cuddling up to Sam after their night out.

Sam and his companion looked relaxed together as they sparked speculation of a new romance following his split from Zara McDermott last year.

Meanwhile, the mystery woman looked chic in a faux fur jacket with pale blue jeans and pale pink trainers.

She wore her blonde hair in a bouncy blown out style and a face of glamorous make-up to complete the look. 

Sam’s love life recently came up when One Direction’s Steal My Girl came on during a live performance of his Staying Relevant podcast with Pete Wicks.

It was a cheeky nod to his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott who’s now in a relationship with singer Louis Tomlinson.

Sam was left unimpressed as his best mate played the song during a live recording of the show.

During a Staying Relevant live show, Pete got the stage band to play a rendition of One Direction’s song Steal My Girl.

Sam was then seen rushing on stage to stop the band playing it to which Pete said: ‘S**t, I forgot.’ 

‘I’ll be honest with you, mate, I may have f****d up there. I, I honestly thought that would go in a different direction.’ This prompted laughter from the audience.

‘But don’t worry, it’s fine, we can try again, we can try again. Guys, f*****g hit it.’

Sam was seen on his hands and knees, jokingly cowering in embarrassment.

Elsewhere during the show, Sam opened up about having had a rough year since his split from Zara and credited Pete with being there for him.    

‘You probably know, and there are a select few people you can really on those moments, and Pete is the epitome of tough exterior, gooey center, like an onion with many, many, many, many, many f*****g layers of pin,’ he said.

‘Caring, loyal, gentle, angry, but he’s the most supportive, best friend I could ever ask for.’ 

Zara and Louis have taken things up a notch, with Zara moving into multi-millionaire Louis’ north London mansion, having moved back into her parents’ house after leaving the Fulham home she shared with Sam.

Insiders told The Sun: ‘They’re smitten and she has been spending all of her time at his place, she’s pretty much moved in. Zara has even started making her social media videos from there instead of her parents’ [home]. 

‘She had been back at her family home after her split from her ex…

Sam and Zara ended their relationship in December, following a holiday season spent separately (pictured in March 2024)

‘But Louis’s home and her parents’ house are nowhere near each other, so it made sense that she is spending more time at his.

‘They’re in the honeymoon stage and want to be with each other as much as possible when they’re not working. Zara spent loads of time travelling with Louis this summer and now they’re back in the UK she’s using his place as a base a lot of the time.’

The Daily Mail has approached Zara and Louis’ representatives for comment.

Zara’s first Instagram post with Louis saw the couple kissing, under which Louis commented ‘I love you’. Their relationship is clearly supported by their siblings, as Zara’s brother wrote ‘beautiful couple’, while Louis’ sister wrote ‘love love’.

It was first revealed five months ago that Zara and Louis were dating after they struck up a romance at the start of the year, but now friends say it’s serious.

A source close to the couple told MailOnline at the time: ‘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.’

The couple were last seen together celebrating Zara’s birthday in December, where Sam dedicated an Instagram post to his girlfriend, calling her his ‘soulmate’ and ‘best friend.’
