Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson has broken his silence for the first time since it was reported he’s split from Zara McDermott amid claims she cheated on him with a music industry exec during her stint on The X Factor: Celebrity.

The 28-year-old paid tribute to his Celebs Go Dating co-star and close pal Pete Wicks, admitting the TOWIE star has been there for him to “lean on” while he’s been “down”.

Sam shared a photo of him and Pete, in which he’d aged the Essex lothario’s face using an app, on Instagram and wrote, “Thank you so much for putting up with me for the past week @p_wicks01 I’m incredibly lucky to have people I can lean on when I’m down.

“I know you’re not the soppy type, but you really are the brother I never had. I love you mate ❤️ #WEGOAGAIN💪🏻 good to see I haven’t aged you over the past 6 days 😂.”

It’s thought that Sam has been filming the celebrity special series of The Circle following his split from Zara but it’s been claimed the Love Island star has vowed to win back her boyfriend and is set for “crisis talks” to save their relationship when he returns home.

“Their relationship is hanging in the balance. Sam left to film The Circle saying he couldn't be with Zara right now,” a source told The Sun.
