LOUISE Thompson dropped a huge clue that her brother Sam had split with Samie Elishi before their break-up was even announced.
The Sun exclusively revealed today the pair had decided to go their separate ways, weeks after first being spotted together on a cosy date.

But, during a very recent appearance on Sam's podcast with Pete Wicks, Staying Relevant, she appeared to let slip that the lovebirds were no longer an item.
At one point in Wednesday's installment, Louise was asked to describe Sam's ideal girlfriend.
The former Made In Chelsea star replied: "I'd love for you to try dating someone that has a normal job, that's outside of the media space. I think that could be exciting.
"You definitely need somebody that slightly puts you in your place, so who's gonna talk back to you, and not let you get away with everything."
Louise added: "If you're going to go down the fame route, can you just find someone that I would get along with. I'm thinking young British actress."
She suggested a good match for Sam would be Harry Potter star Emma Watson.
The Sun confirmed earlier today Sam and Samie had split after dating for just two months.
A source said: "It was a mutual thing and there is no bad blood between them.
"They both just have really busy schedules, particularly Sam who has been non-stop recently, and it was really hard to make it work. They're still good mates.
"It's a shame but sometimes things just don't work out."
Louise Thompson's fiance Ryan admits he 'resented her' after traumatic birth of son where she asked him 'am I dying?'
Sam and Samie confirmed they were dating in early May when they were spotted sharing a steamy kiss on a night out.
Sam was pictured snogging Samie and holding her face as they smooched outside Olivia Attwood's 34th birthday bash.
They were also snapped walking arm in arm afterwards and he tenderly placed a hand on her waist.
While the pair didn't share their relationship on social media, Sam did praise Samie on his podcast, Staying Relevant with pal Pete Wicks.
Grilled by his best mate, he was relatively tight-lipped but said: "What I will say though, really awesome chick. You met her that night. Really, really lovely. Super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously."
Samie, meanwhile, opened up about the romance last month during an appearance on the We Talk To The Dead podcast.
Chatting to host Chloe Smith, the interviewer asked Samie: "Obviously, you don't have to talk about it too much but the guy you're currently speaking to, do you have that gut feeling? Like do you think it's gonna be really good?'
She responded: "There's been no bad stuff at the minute. So yeah, I suppose it is all positive right now. It's early days."
Sam was cagey, however, when quizzed about Samie while promoting his Soccer Aid challenge for Unicef earlier this month.
Asked if she would be there to support him, Sam told MailOnline : "I feel like… this is so much more than who I'm dating or hooking up with.
"And I feel like it would take away from what it is going on. You know what I mean?
"You know, If I had a wife or something like, like a girlfriend of years it might be a different.
"I just think that I don't want to do anything that will take away from this challenge and Unicef - the spotlight needs to be on them."
Samie also failed to acknowledge the challenge on social media.
Sam and Samie started dating several months after his split from Zara McDermott.
The pair called it quits in January after five years together.
A source close to the couple told 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.
"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."
Zara has since moved on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, who Sam awkwardly came face to face with at Soccer Aid earlier this month as they both played on the same team.

The 1975 at Glastonbury review – amid the irony, ego and pints of Guinness, this is a world-class band
The 1975's first Glastonbury headlining slot arrives preceded by some intriguing rumours about what's going to happen. Some fairly eye-popping figures are being bandied about regarding the cost of their set's staging – which allegedly vastly outweighs the fee the band are being paid – while one dubious online source insists Healy has shaved his head for the occasion. He hasn't (he appears onstage tonsorially intact), but clearly large sums of money have been spent somewhere along the way. What ensues isn't quite as complex as their last tour, which featured lead singer Matty Healy eating raw steak, doing push ups, climbing through a television and Prince Andrew's face appearing on a bank of television screens accompanied by the strains of Mahler's 5th Symphony. Nevertheless, there are huge video screens everywhere: not just behind the band, but above them and at either side of the stage, and indeed below the actual video screens that Glastonbury traditionally provides. The treadmill that ran across the front of the stage during their 2018 tour – there for Healy to glide around on, something he does with admirable insouciance – makes a reappearance, while, for reasons that aren't entirely clear, the rear half of a car makes an appearance stage right at one point. Healy sings from within it. The screens alternately bathe the stage in white or pink light, show Adam Curtis-esque montages of news footage, flash up lyrics as Healy sings them – a good idea in the case of Part of the Band, a song packed with authentically funny lines. But this being the 1975, never a band to miss the opportunity to make a meta point about being in a band, they also flash up critiques of Healy's lyrics – 'MINDLESS HOLLERING' – and more generally, of the 1975 themselves: 'They're essentially making robotic Huey Lewis tunes' is a particularly cutting judgement on the band's signature synth-heavy, pastel-hued 80s pop-rock-influenced sound. Later, the screens render their lyrics as meaningless gibberish by displaying what it sounds like he's singing – 'oh mah hez smell like chocolate'. And this is done immediately after Healy informs the audience that he's 'the greatest songwriter of my generation … a poet'. 'I was only joking,' he adds later, although his talent as a frontman is less open to question: there's something gripping about the way he switches from straightforward 'Glastonbury-are-you-with-us?' enthusiasm to role-playing as a raddled, tormented pop star, pint in one hand, cigarette in the other. He makes earnest pronouncements about the lasting friendships at the centre of the band and is seemingly astonished at the size of the crowd: 'Oh Jesus,' he mutters as the lights reveal its full extent, 'yeah, it's normal, it's fine'. But then, there'll be arched-eyebrow examinations of his own genius, from posing to dancing with wild enthusiasm. It's a show that's frequently strange and self-deprecating – an intriguingly different approach to the business of headlining the world's biggest music festival – although it runs the risk of the actual music they make getting lost somewhere amid the visual bombardment and commentary. Happily, their set also functions as a reminder that behind all the irony, the 1975 are impressively skilled at the prosaic business of writing songs. If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know) or She's American have pop-facing melodies strong enough to shine through. The one point where the staging seems to overwhelm the show itself is during a lengthy interlude when the band vanish from the stage entirely and the message 'Matty is changing his trousers' flashes on to the screen. It's a very risky move indeed at a festival where there's always something else you could be watching: a minor exodus duly takes place in the audience. But when they return they start rolling out the big hits: It's Not Living (If It's Not With You), Sex, Love It If We Made It's dense parade of millennial angst, the gleaming pop of The Sound. It ends with About You's appropriately epic balladry, and the members of the 1975 embracing each other, apparently genuinely emotional: a straightforward conclusion to a bold, experimental, occasionally confounding, but ultimately hugely impressive performance.

Leeds Playhouse theatre sells off 50 years worth of costumes
Thousands of handmade outfits have gone on sale as part of Leeds Playhouse's first ever costume from shows including Little Shop of Horrors, The Sound of Music, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Wizard of Oz, will be available to purchase, with a starting price for some items of just £ Marzetti, head of costume at Leeds Playhouse, said Saturday's sale was a result of the theatre running out of space."We wanted to make sure the costumes had a future life. Some things have been here since Leeds Playhouse began over 50 years ago and they are still in really beautiful condition," she said. Money from the sale, which runs from 09:30 to 16:00 BST at the Barber Studio, will go towards future theatre productions. "You can get things from £1 up to a caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, which is £250. But it is beautiful and one off," said Ms Marzetti."We've got some beautiful costumes from Into the Woods, which we loved working on. They were beautiful things to make, but they are so specific to the show that we're going to sell them. They're not cheap but they are beautiful."We've got some My Fair Lady ballgowns going in and we've got Toad from Wind in the Willows' three-piece suit." Perusing the sale on Friday, director Ian Wilson from theatre company Curtain Up Productions said he was looking for something specific."We're producing White Christmas at Christmas in Ilkley and we knew the Playhouse did White Christmas a few years ago so we've come into see what they've got and they have the entire selection," he said."We've got an entire rail of stuff that's going to get a second life."Ms Marzetti said the sale was not just for theatre companies, but for those looking for Halloween costumes, something to jazz up their regular wardrobe or even a wedding dress."If you want something covered in blood, we've got a whole section of that. We've got circus and panto and a lot of cos play and period costumes," she said."If anybody's going to a festival and wants to dress up we've got lots of glitzy things and furry things for them to wear."
