Sam, who we all know is a Love Island super fan, split from ANOTHER bombshell Zara McDermott at the end of last year and who knew he had such a type? As for Samie, she was previously dating TOWIE chap Harry Lee before taking part in Love Island: All Stars but failed to find romance on the dating series.

Fast forward to May 2025 (sorry, how is it already spring?) and the reality TV duo were snapped sharing a snog at Olivia Attwood's birthday bash. The very same event that Sam's bestie Pete Wicks was seen getting up close and cozy with Samantha Kenny. SO MUCH REALITY TV DATING DRAMA.

We all know that celebs like to keep schtum about their romances until they are practically walking down the aisle, but Samie was a guest on the We Talk to the Dead podcast where she chatted to host Chloe Smith.

During the spiritual session Samie opened up about her love life and spoke briefly to the psychic and medium about the person she is currently dating, who we all now know is Sammy boy.

'There's been no bad stuff,' she explained and that's certainly a good start.

During her first stint on Love Island, Samie made it to the final alongside Tom Clare but the couple split just a month or two after the dating show came to an end.

'So yeah I suppose it is all positive right now,' she went on before adding, 'It's early days.'

Early days, indeed.
