Samie Elishi breaks silence on Sam Thompson romance after steamy snog
Former Love Island star Samie Elishi has finally opened up about her budding romance with I'm A Celeb winner Sam Thompson and claimed that it's still 'early days'
When former Love Island star Samie Elishi was pictured kissing Sam Thompson, the pair quickly hit the headlines. The couple were spotted in an intimate embrace outside the birthday party of Olivia Attwood last week, held at Mayfair's Bacchanalia. Cupping her face in his hands, the pair appeared oblivious to onlookers as they publicly confirmed their romance.
Now, Samie has finally opened up about the new romance with the ex Made in Chelsea star. The 25-year-old was coy when discussing the potential of her new relationship with Sam, 32. Samie appeared on the podcast Chloe Mediumship and revealed that in past relationships, she always had a negative gut instinct.
She explained: "I've had gut feelings with guys before. I've had a couple of relationships where I've known it was never it. Like this is gonna come to an end, I'll have something telling me every day it's coming to an end, this isn't for you."
She added: "You put it to the back of your mind and then you start noticing the chaos increase. It's like the universe saying I'm gonna blow you both up if you just do not separate."
Samie continued: "Then I'm like if only I listened all those months ago when I got that first message."
Chloe then asked if she had the same gut feeling. In response, Samie said: "There's been no bad stuff at the minute so yeah I suppose it is all positive right now. It's early days."
The reality TV star first found fame in 2023 when she appeared on Love Island. She later returned to the All Stars series last year.
Since Sam split with his ex Zara McDermott, the pair started to build a connection via messaging on Instagram before finally meeting in person.
A source told MailOnline: "Sam and Samie are really getting along and if early signs are anything to go by, this could turn into a long-term relationship. It may be early days still, but they do really like each other."
The added that Sam is already introducing Samie to Chelsea, having taken her to the King's Road over the Easter weekend.
Sam and Zara ended their relationship four months ago. And within that time, Zara had started a relationship with former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson.
Speaking on his podcast with co-host Pete Wicks, he revealed: "I feel like I'm ready to get out there. I feel like I'm at a stage now where I feel confident enough that I can start approaching females."
He added: "I feel good, things are really really nice at the moment. And I feel like I'm happy. There's no more brave faces', causing Pete to proudly declare: 'Sam's ready to date!'."

Zara McDermott under fire for Glastonbury photo after Louis Tomlinson left her
Zara McDermott is dating One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson and she attended her first ever Glastonbury festival this weekend with Louis, who is a veteran attendee of the festival Zara McDermott has come under fire for her Glastonbury festival post after attending with One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson. The pair's romance has been heating up over the recent months, but they are yet to share a photo together. Zara attended her first ever Glastonbury festival this weekend, where she partied with Louis and his sister Lottie Tomlinson. However, she has been heavily criticised for her post - as fans fumed over one thing. One person wrote: "girlie, why in the grass when you can do it standing ik like lottie, let people pass :D," whilst another added: "THIS IS GLASTONBURY NOT COACHELLA Say it again so you remember!" "This is the kind of photos influencers take on Coachella, not Glasto. Read the room please, this is just embarrassing," a third shared online, with a fourth adding: "Is it Glastonbury, or Coachella?" However, other fans rushed to social media to support Zara and fume at the spiteful comments. One penned: "Why do you all need to knock her down? She is literally just living her life. You look beautiful Zara." "Jesus christ, some of you are like kids! Leave her be. I'd be taking pics of my 1st Glastonbury too if I had bottle to go but too many people for me to cope. Grow up some of you and let her and her bloke navigate their relationship!!" another added. The Mirror exclusively revealed Zara and Louis spent the final night of the festival watching The Prodigy. "Louis was loving The Prodigy. He dragged her along to the Other Stage and had a ball dancing to their hits. Zara danced along before leaving hand in hand with Louis before the set ended," a source told us. The pair did not post together at Glastonbury but Zara did share a lot of videos and photos with Louis' sister Lottie, who was there with Lewis Burton. She shared a snap of them on her story as they all danced together. They are still trying to keep things quiet about their relationship on social media and the pair didn't even camp together at the festival, it has been revealed. Zara chose to stay off site whilst Louis stayed on site with his friends - and even had a tent just for alcohol. Another source told The Mirror: "Louis is determined to make it a weekend to remember and has planned everything with military like precision - including making sure enough booze is available. "He has his own tent - and one just for the drinks. Everyone is saying it's a nice break for him and Zara, but it's a great way also for Zara to meet his mates. It will definitely be a boozy one and not a particularly romantic one."

Love Island fans reveal ‘clue' that gives away Conor's real feelings for Megan after she's dumped from the villa
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have flagged what they believe is the "real" reason Conor Phillips decided to remain in the series - after romantic interest Megan Forte Clarke was given the boot. The Irish beauty, 24 - an OG in the Love Island 2025 cast - was sent packing alongside bombshell Remell Mullins, also 24, in an explosive double eviction last week. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Love Island fans reckon they know just how Conor Phillips is feeling about Megan Forte Clarke Credit: Eroteme 6 The Irish lass, 24, was given the boot after she was voted the least popular female in the show Credit: Eroteme 6 The pair spent the night in the Hideaway prior to her departure Credit: Eroteme The departure came after the public were asked to choose their favourite boy and favourite girl. Megan's snogs and Hideaway escapades with Conor, 25 - after she was in what appeared to be a strong couple with fan-favourite Tommy - sealed her fate and furious fans voted her off. Prior to her villa departure, she made a promise to Conor and vowed to wait for him on the outside. However, Conor didn't offer to leave the villa alongside Megan, who he spent the night with - leaving some confused. Now they reckon the Irishman has his sights set on fame and fortune instead. One took to Reddit to muse: "Why didn't Connor leave with Meghan if he said no one coming in would be better suited to him?" A second put: "You'd miss out on the rest of your experience and potentially lose future deals. It wouldn't be smart at all." A third then bluntly commented: "Influencers island is why." A fourth put: "LI is a career move first and foremost." Another argued: "Its a free holiday, fame and possible high money opportunities especially the longer your in the villa. "He should've went if thats how he genuinely felt but he wasn't deeply into her." 'Get them off my screen' rage Love Island fans as Megan and Conor's hideaway romp leaves devastated Emily in tears Yet others stuck up for Conor, who was a late arrival to proceedings in the Mallorca compound. They wrote: "No one on this show is going to leave for someone they were with for 48 hours. Pls. It's not that complicated." A second put: "In the real world if someone did that, most people would consider them unhinged. It's weird that it's become the expectation." FIX ROW Love Island fans previously suggested Megan's exit was a "fix" by show bosses - despite it being centred on the public vote. During the elimination, the bottom three girls were revealed as Shakira, Megan and Toni. And the bottom three boys in the firing line were Ben, Harry and Remell. Shockingly, Megan and Remell received the least votes from the public and were then immediately dumped from the villa. But Love Island fans were quick to air a theory about why Megan was the one to be dumped from the villa out of the girls. They think because of the public turning on Megan over the last few days, bosses were keen to see her leave the villa. Taking to social media, one said: "I'm guessing the producers didn't like Megan. "I bet they wouldn't have allowed the other Megan to go, had she been bottom." This week's drama in the villa saw Megan finally confirm that she and Tommy were over, after spending recent days ramping up her connection with rugby lad Conor. No sooner had she told a delighted Conor about the development, he suggested they spend the night in the hideaway. The explosive move came after they shared two snogs on the Terrace behind smitten Tommy Bradley's back, infuriating fans. Megan and Tommy had seemed to be one of the dating show's most secure couples until this week, when her head was turned by Conor - sparking other Islanders to brand the situation 'wife swap'. Fans also turned on 'nasty' Megan after she gleefully called Conor and Tommy's row over her "brilliant". Love Island continues tonight at 9pm. 6 Fans and co-stars alike were stunned by their antics Credit: Eroteme 6 Fans reckon Conor is only on the show for brand deals - suggesting he would have walked out also if his feelings for Megan were strong Credit: Eroteme 6 She had been partnered up with fan-favourite Tommy before things turned sour Credit: Eroteme
