Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson and Love Island star Samie Elishi dating was not on our 2025 bingo card but do you know what? We're totally here for it.

We were all shook earlier this year when it came to light that Sam and Love Island 2018 star Zara McDermott had called it quits after five years together.

If they could make it through their infamous 'YOU CAN' Made in Chelsea drama, then you'd think they could make it through anything.

Turns out, we were wrong - they've split and have both moved on and now Sam has actually spoke about his rumoured new beau.

Opening up on his Staying Relevant podcast with BFF Pete Wicks (because where else would he spill the tea), he admitted, 'I went on the first date that I've had since I've been single recently and I was so nervous that I messaged Pete, and it was the sweetest thing ever. But Pete basically sent me a list of what I had to do.'

Poking fun at those pap pictures of Sam and Samie (lol, Sam and Sam) snogging, Pete joked, 'What I took away from that is that you are a passionate and gentle kisser.

'It’s a beautiful moment in an alleyway.'

LOL.

Sam then did what most celebs do (and we seriously have no idea why), he only went and looked at comments under the pics and apparently some people thought they'd called the paparazzi on themselves.

'Do you know what the f**king worst thing is? It does look like that because they’ve long-lensed it from wherever the hell they’ve been.

'And it does just look like we’ve just stepped outside in front of a bunch of photographers and be like, 'Here you go, guys, me and this girl, we’re going to have a kiss!'

He went on to add, 'What I will say though, really awesome chick. You met her that night. Really, really lovely. Super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously.'

Is this the start of a new reality TV romance? We hope so, because Zara seems totally smitten with One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and they've also been papped together having a snog.

If going on Love Island and then Made in Chelsea is what we need to date an A-lister, then sign us up tbh.
