SAM Thompson and Zara McDermott proved things are back on track after “crisis talks” threatened to signal an end to their relationship.
The Made In Chelsea alumni, 32, and Love Island star, 27, escaped to picture-perfect Ibiza with his sister Louise, 34, and her fiance Ryan Libbey, 34, to celebrate the PT’s birthday.
It is one of the first times Zara and Sam – who got together in 2019 – have been seen together after The Sun exclusively reported their relationship was in crisis.
The pair had a blazing row that prompted Zara to walk out and head to her family’s house for a period of time.
It then sparked discussions on how they could salvage their five-year relationship.
Zara then joked how she “spies” on her man with a cat camera in their West London home.
Yet now they appear to be blissfully happy during a sun-soaked trip to the White Isle.
Zara uploaded a smiling snap with Sam showing the duo lying on a cosy day bed in the sunshine.
She added the simple caption: “Holiday,” followed by a red Emoji love heart.
One fan was quick to gush: “Yes proof u 2 are soul mates.”
A second put: “That’s the picture we want to see,” as a third continued: “Fabulous picture of you both.”
One then put: “Convinced they had split up, especially when Zara didn’t post a birthday acknowledgement.”
We previously told of their blazing row in July.
A source close to the pair revealed at the time how they are now trying to patch things up after the huge bust-up left Sam utterly distraught.
They said: “Zara had a work commitment in Majorca but has now returned home to be with Sam and try to iron out their differences and have crisis talks.
“They really want to try and make the relationship work.”
GRAZIANO Di Prima has addressed his Strictly Come Dancing sacking with a statement on social media - see the details below.
In a statement shared to his Instagram page Graziano wrote: “I deeply regret the events that led to my departure from Strictly. My intense passion and determination to win might have affected my training regime.
“Respecting the BBC HR process, I understand it’s best for the show that I step away.”
He continued: “While there are aspects of this story involving external influences that I can’t discuss at this time, I remain committed to being strong for my family and friends.
“I wish the Strictly family and the BBC nothing but success in the future.”
He concluded the post: “I also want to thank everyone who has supported my career, both professionally and personally. When the time is right, I will share my story.”
The insider added: “Since Christmas Zara and Sam have been really busy with work and have had little quality time to see each other and as a result their relationship has suffered.
“They’ve both wanted to make the most of their careers and say yes to all the exciting opportunities offered to them.”
Yet the spat hasn’t been the only issue the reality TV stars have had to face of late.
Last month, Zara released an emotional statement after it was revealed her Strictly Come Dancing 2023 partner Graziano Di Prima, 30, would not be returning for the upcoming series.
He was axed following claims he hit, spat at and kicked at the BBC documentary-maker.
She previously told how she was “too scared” to speak out about the alleged abuse, that is said to have happened during rehearsals.
