Sam Thompson, 32, was left reeling and wounded after discovering his ex-girlfriend Zara had been dating so soon after their split in December, ending their five-year relationship. A source spilled to The Sun: "Sam is obviously devastated by the news, he was with Zara for years and the break-up has hit him hard. He's taking some time out to focus on himself - it's completely blindsided and embarrassed him. He didn't expect Zara to move on so quickly and he's still dealing with the aftermath of the split. He's not found the split easy and has been trying to keep busy and take his mind off it by focusing on work, friends and family. But everyone can see that he's struggling and just needs to take some time out to reassess things."

In the wake of their split, Sam's tight-knit circle of friends, including Pete Wicks, have rallied around him, especially following this recent revelation. "His close knit group of friends have stepped in to support him and his family have been rallying around him," they added. "Although it's been a tough few months, Sam is determined to put the past behind him and move forward. "He's looking to the future now, and all the exciting projects he's got coming up, like his and Pete's Staying Relevant Live event at the O2, which is a huge career move for him. He's also headed off on holiday and is trying to focus on doing things he loves, after what has been a difficult time following the split. He's trying to fill his diary over the next few months and keep working hard and believes this could be a fresh start for him.", reports the Mirror.

Sam and Zara split in December last year

Following the end of their five-year romance in December, Zara has turned the page from her relationship with Louis Tomlinson. The Made In Chelsea and Love Island alum Zara recently confirmed she's moved out of their shared Chelsea pad.

A couple of months post-breakup confirmation, 28 year old Zara was seen getting cosy with One Direction's Louis Tomlinson, aged 33, during a date at a Suffolk hotel in Aldeburgh. An onlooker caught the pair sharing laughs and holding hands over a lavish £100 fish and chips meal accompanied by cocktails, after several previous dates.

In the wake of their separation, Sam opened up about mending a broken heart on his podcast, Staying Relevant, alongside guest Paul C Brunson. In a candid conversation, Sam sought advice from the dating guru on how to cope with 'being given the boot', mentioning that his followers had picked up on the 'sadness behind his eyes'.

"I went through a breakup, and everyone keeps saying they can see the sadness behind the eyes," Sam revealed. When asked by the I'm A Celeb star, Paul advised: "This is a tough one, and this is a deep one. The first thing is that you have to identify the emotion and sit in it," which prompted Sam to interject with: "Horrible."

Following the split, Zara has made a bold move by snapping up her own place – and it's just a stone's throw away from their old shared pad. Forking out a cool £500,000 for her new digs, a source spilled the beans to The Sun, revealing: "She bought it two weeks ago under her company name, it's a two bed flat in a nice area and weirdly, not that far from where she lived with Sam. It will make it really awkward when they bump into each other at the local or grabbing a coffee, though."
