SAM Thompson has suggested that his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott may have been responsible for their break-up.
Speaking on Love Island’s The Morning After podcast with Indiyah Polack and Amy Hart, Sam touched on the importance of family approval in relationships.

He explained that his sister, Louise Thompson, who lives next door to him, has always gotten on well with his girlfriends.
Sam continued: “Most of the time when we break up, it’s my fault and she’ll ask, ‘WHAT have you done?’
“And I’m like, ‘it’s not even me!’”
It was revealed last month how the Made In Chelsea legend, 32, and the former Love Island star, 28, had ended their five-year-long relationship.
Although he didn’t explicitly name Zara, his comments appeared to imply that their split wasn’t his fault.
Sam and Zara have both been keeping busy since their shock break-up.
The I’m A Celebrity champ has been working on multiple TV projects including the Love Island podcast, whilst Zara has been working on a new documentary for BBC3 in Thailand.
Speaking on another recent episode of the pod, he revealed how much he’d love to do Love Island.
“I have never been in the villa, but I would LOVE TOO!” Sam revealed.

Just 16 months later Zara confessed to having a fling with music exec Brahim Fourad while taking part in The X Factor: Celebrity.
Zara and Brahim crossed paths when she signed up to the singing show in October 2019.
Sam then ended their 16-month relationship after getting wind of what happened, after The Sun exclusively revealed a year late she had been unfaithful.
They got back together after Zara publicly apologised on Made In Chelsea.
The pair then lived together in Sam’s house where they would often post loved up selfies, comedy reels and pictures of their home transformation.
Last month a devastated Sam broke his silence on his “tough” split with Zara.
On Sam and Pete Wicks’s Staying Relevant podcast, Pete asked him about his “bad Christmas”.
He said: “What’s been going on?”
Sam admits: “It was tough. It’s been a tough month. A real tough month.”
He also jokes: “This is not a good time to be going bald either.”
Pete says he wasn’t sure if Sam would be in a fit enough state to do the podcast, telling him: “I didn’t know if we were gonna be here or not.”
A source lifted the lid on the reasons behind the split, telling Mail Online: “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.”
