Zara McDermott has reportedly left the UK amid reports she and Sam Thompson actually split up weeks ago.
This week, it was reported that Sam and Zara had ended things after a five-year romance. Former King of the Jungle Sam is said to have grown apart from Zara, with the pair appearing to spend both Christmas and New Year apart.
Now, it’s been claimed that Zara and Sam ended things weeks ago – and Zara has reportedly jetted off on a secret trip to Paris, amid the “tough time”.

Both Zara and Sam have yet to confirm they are no longer together. But reports suggest their five-year relationship ended before Christmas.
For New Year’s Eve, Sam celebrated with his ex-Made In Chelsea co-stars Reza Amiri-Garroussi and Josh Patterson. The trio were at a party in London. Zara, on the other hand, reigned in the New Year at home with her cats.
Weeks before headlines suggested the pair had split, Sam took to Instagram to honour his girlfriend. He shared a wholesome post on her birthday of the pair from a date night.
