On Monday, due to unavoidable circumstances, Sam Thompson had to inform Jamie Lee Curtis that he and Zara McDemott were no longer together. Earlier, the esteemed Hollywood actress had predicted a future marriage between the two.
On his Hits Radio Breakfast Show, the 33-year-old reality star found himself once again talking with the 66-year-old actress. They looked back on a past meeting of hers, a time when the reality star was still in a relationship with Zara.
It turned out that Jamie was the inaugural guest on Sam’s debut show at the radio station, and he was so jittery that he fabricated a story, which eventually prompted her to ask him to propose.
Jamie, with a hint of embarrassment, confessed, “During our last encounter, I might have misled you. It was my first day, and I mentioned about pre-drinks, but you had mentioned your long-standing sobriety – 26 years as of earlier this year.
In that instant, Sam remembered feeling panic-stricken, and he was concerned about causing discomfort for his visitor. To avoid creating a fuss, he admitted that he too abstained from alcohol, which was not the truth.
Instead of saying “I fully lied to your face,” the host could have responded more politely by acknowledging Jamie’s concern and clarifying the situation like this:
“Jamie, I understand your feelings, but let me explain what happened.”
This response is less confrontational and more inviting for a conversation, allowing both parties to discuss the matter openly and find a resolution.



Sam admitted that he found himself having to invent a tale spontaneously when Jamie asked if he had chosen to abstain from alcohol.
You expressed, “I’ve been attempting to emulate my girlfriend because she doesn’t drink alcohol, and I find that admirable.” In response, you received a compliment, “That’s the kindest thing anyone has ever said,” followed by an enthusiastic suggestion, “You should consider getting her a ring!
Jamie added: “I suggested, ‘Put a ring on it,’ but do you think…?” she inquired hopeful, to which her companion chuckled and responded: “Alas, we’ve split up!
‘Because you were drunk!’ the Hollywood actress quipped as the studio collapsed into giggles.
Sam and Zara, aged 28, parted ways at the end of December, having spent the holiday season apart after five years in a relationship.
According to a trusted confidant, it was reported by Daily Mail that Sam and Zara called off their romance. Making the decision to separate was extremely challenging for them; they hold great affection and care for one another.
After a challenging year spent putting effort into their relationship, they’ve decided to part ways and focus separately on their respective careers as we head into 2025.
There hasn’t been any controversy or tension between them. Instead, it seems like they’ve both been overwhelmed this year with their individual responsibilities and projects.





The pair were last spotted rejoicing on Zara’s birthday in December. In that occasion, Sam took to Instagram to express his love for his partner, referring to her as his “soulmate” and “dearest friend.
Currently, she is involved romantically with Louis Tomlinson from One Direction, who is 33 years old. Last week, their relationship sparked excitement among fans when they publicly acknowledged their affection for each other.
The pair, who were secretly dating while nurturing their relationship at work, have made their relationship official by publicly displaying an affectionate kiss on her social media profile.
According to reports, the contestant from Strictly and the popular pop singer appear to be genuinely in love, as they publicly declared their affection for one another in a social media post.
On Monday evening, Zara posted a photo of them kissing, to which Louis replied, “I adore you,” publicly expressing his affection.
The post sent fans crazy as they rushed to the comments to gush over their relationship.
They wrote: “Wailing, shrieking, vomiting – oh my goodness! I am absolutely flustered OMG, SO PROUD OF YOU! What a lovely pair you two make. I’m overjoyed beyond words for you.
‘THAT’S SO CUTE… IM GONNA CRY THIS IS THE CUTESY THING EVER… AMAZING COUPLE MAN.’
Five months back, news broke out about Zara and Louis being in a relationship, as their romance blossomed at the beginning of the year. Now, it appears that their bond has deepened significantly, according to their close friends.


A confidential source shared with The Sun that Louis and Zara had been in a private relationship for some time, allowing them to confirm their feelings for each other before making their romance public.
Louis and Zara are incredibly content together, making them an adorable pair. Both of them are highly ambitious in their careers and always encourage one another’s professional goals.
During this time, Sam acknowledged that he had a difficult beginning to the year following his breakup with Zara.
As an unabashed admirer, I’d like to share some wisdom that resonated deeply with me from this captivating TV figure: Life’s challenging moments have a peculiar knack for jolting us, stirring within us the long-overdue motivation to make transformative changes that we’ve been putting off.
On Pete Wicks’ Man Made podcast, he openly discussed the past year since their separation and shared about his personal growth.
He said: ‘It’s such a weird one because I still look to people for help all the time.
Whenever I find myself in a pickle, I can count on you to help me out. You, Marvin, Tony, Ryan (my brother-in-law), and Louise are all people I would reach out to if I need assistance.
I rely heavily on many others, and while I appreciate this support, I sometimes find myself thinking that I’m not yet self-reliant enough.”
“I need a lot of help from other people, but at the same time, I feel like I should be more independent.
Pete inquired: ‘Does seeking assistance from others or relying on them imply a diminished sense of masculinity, in your opinion?’
Sam clarified: ‘Asking for help, no. I think I lean a little bit too heavily into the depending.’
