‘Zara really is The One'

Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson is grinning from ear-to-ear as he reveals to new the recent tricks that he’s played on his girlfriend Zara McDermott.

The 29-year-old regularly keeps his social media followers updated on the pranks he pulls on Zara, from peeling her fake eyelashes off while she sleeps, to covering her in baking soda.

And overhearing our cheeky conversation, we soon hear Zara, 24, laughing during our Zoom call to Sam.

“You have to sleep with one eye open in this household,” she jokes.

The smitten pair have faced their fair share of hurdles in their relationship and briefly split last year. But it’s clear from their sweet interactions and playful nature that they’re now stronger than ever.

Here, Sam opens up on his romance with the former Love Island star, his ongoing bromance with Pete Wicks, and how he feels about becoming an uncle very soon…

Hi Sam! You and Zara are currently renovating your home. That’s a big project to tackle – how’s it going?

It’s killing us! We’re doing a short let at the moment and living out of suitcases. We’re on top of each other a lot, but we haven’t argued, which is great.

So the two of you are still going strong, then?

Yes. I always think it must be pretty hard going out with me, especially with the pranks, so the fact Zara puts up with me is amazing. She really is The One.

Do you still like to prank your sister, Louise?
