Sam Thompson appeared in good spirits following his shock split from Zara McDermott as he caught up with his sister, Louise Thompson.
The 32-year-old former Made In Chelsea star has started 2025 with heartbreak as his romance with former Strictly and Love Island contestant Zara, 28, came to an end after five years. Fans of the couple were troubled when the pair did not spend Christmas together. However, they had insisted all was well at the time.
At the beginning of this month, though, it emerged that the pair had taken the painful decision to split. But it appears Sam was able to rely on his older sister Louise, 34, to help cheer him up.
Taking to Instagram this week, Louise shared a cheerful photograph of herself posing alongside her younger brother - however she joked he was testing her patience. The reality star shared a trip of snaps with her followers as well as a short video clip that showed her brother watching her from the roof of her house.

The first image showed Louise, posing in a stripy top, with Sam wearing a bright pink jumper while standing beside her. The next image showed them laughing together. While the third piece of content showed Sam laying on top of the skylight of one of her rooms and staring manically through the glass.
She wrote in an accompanying caption: "People think it’s fun living next to a sibling… until they swipe to slide 3. My nervous system can’t cope. Happy to have you home."
A further image showed Sam's face pressed hard against the glass with his nose turned up and his teeth on display. The collection of images amused followers who flooded the comments section of the post.
One wrote: "Sam is literally the most refreshing human who loves life yep can be my neighbour." Another joked: "Googles how to get a restraining order on a neighbour." While another suggested: "Give him a cloth while he’s up there to wash the windows-may as well be useful "
Earlier this week Sam revealed he was leaning on his sister for support following his split. He told The Mirror: "It’s amazing having Louise there and she’s an amazing mum. One of my biggest comforts, if I’m ever going through a hard time, is my neighbours next door."
He continued: "I live my life at a very fast pace and there’s a lot going on, so when I go to their place it’s just such a family unit and it’s a beautiful place to be. Louise is running after Leo, my nephew, and Ryan’s running after Louise – it’s all manic madness, but it’s so warm and cosy and lovely.”
News of Sam and Zara's split emerged at the beginning of the year. A source told the Daily Mail: "Sam and Zara have ended their relationship. It's been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways, they still care and have a lot of love for each other.
"But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025. There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it's just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects."
