Zara McDermott dream signing for huge reality TV show after Sam Thompson split

Zara McDermott is said to be a target of a huge reality TV series following her split from fellow Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson after five years together as a couple

Newly single Zara McDermott is reportedly being head hunted to appear on another reality TV show following her split from Sam Thompson.

The former Love Island and Made In Chelsea star separated from Sam after five years together. And now she's said to be a target of Celebs Go Dating bosses. While she's said to be a huge fan of the show, it's not known whether any appearance would be too soon following her latest relationship breakdown.

However, it's thought the show would love to show Zara the true meaning behind their efforts - and reports suggest Zara would have "men lining up to date her" for the 2025 series. A source told The Sun: "Celebs Go Dating bosses are really keen to sign Zara up for the 2025 series - she’s a huge fan favourite and they think she’d be perfect for the show and have men lining up to date her. It might be too soon after the split with Sam but they think she’d see the real meaning behind the show, which is about stars looking at themselves and their dating patterns."

Last year saw the likes of Helen Flanagan and Ella Morgan ask the dating experts for their help. While Ella looked to have found love on the show, she recently split with Alex James Ali. Despite the rumours, Alex furiously hit back at cheating claims on social media. He wrote: "The rumours are not true. Our relationship ended amicably and I have nothing buy love and respect for Ella. That’s all there is to say. Wishing you all a great New Year."

Zara and Sam's relationship ended after the pair seemingly spent the festive period apart. They had spent over half a decade together, with the couple building a home together next door to Sam's sister Louise and her fiance Ryan Libbey. They also share two cats - Albus and Cedric - together.

A source told the MailOnline: "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." They added that despite the couple working hard on their romance, spending time away from each other had made it difficult. The source said the pair are now keen to spend time on their individual careers moving forward.

They had last been seen together in December as they celebrated Zara's birthday. At the time, Sam shared a post calling her his "soulmate" and "best friend". However, just a week later, he was spotted standing outside strip club Stringfellows with Pete Wicks during a late night.
