This time around, back on solid ground, she pulled on a straw hat to protect herself from the beating sunshine and accessorised with a chunky blue choker. She kept her make-up natural, with her brunette locks brushing over her shoulders in wispy waves as she took her snaps from different angles. Later in the evening, Samie switched to a stunning floor-length dress which she captured in a gallery on her Instagram grid. Alongside the images she wrote: "Lady in red." PARTING WAYS Her trip comes just days after Sam, 32, and Samie called time on their short-lived relationship. Sam was first 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.

Hints of trouble between the pair were first raised after Sam was cagey 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?"

Yet just weeks later they decided they were best as mates. The ITV2 show star has now headed for a girls-only trip to the White Isle, flashing her washboard abs in her swim two-piece. She chose a blue and yellow patterned halterneck, with matching bottoms tied high on the hip. The swimwear flattered her glowing tan and Samie - who has appeared on both Love Island's main run and All Stars spin-off - styled her brunette hair into natural beachy waves. She tied it in a half up-do, while accessorising with bold gold earrings and natural make-up. The former senior estate agent coordinator perched inside the boat, holding a drink in one hand and her sunglasses in the other, as she posed one Instagram snap. After enjoying a sip of the red cocktail, Samie posted a video which showed her dancing on-board with her mates. In her caption, she joked about spending time away from her phone and put: "Why we haven't replied." A fan then wrote: "Gorgeous."

Sam Thompson 'crying into beer' with Pete Wicks after Zara McDermott split
Cheeky chappies Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks have become one of the best-loved duos in showbiz, thanks to their ongoing bromance. As they celebrate their hilarious podcast Staying Relevant winning its first ever prize at this year's TRIC Awards, the pair, who first met on Celebs Go Dating in 2018, stop for an exclusive interview, during which they tell us their close friendship is all down to mutual trust. 'That's the thing, I trust him with my life,' Pete, 37, says of his 32-year-old bestie. The lads are both single for the first time in several years following Sam's recent split from Zara McDermott, who he was dating for five years, and the end of Pete's whirlwind romance with Maura Higgins back in February, so we're keen to find out if they'll be wingmen for each other this summer. Here, the pals also tell us how it feels to finally receive an award for their podcast and why Pete thinks Sam makes him a better man... Work with your best mate! Honestly, it's so easy. There's nothing more to it than that. You know what? In all seriousness, I think the secret is to have total trust in the other person. I think that's the thing, I trust him with my life. I'm blessed to have the awards and all the rest of it is great, but if I wasn't in this industry and we weren't doing our podcast and we were doing normal jobs, Sam would still be my brother. No! We haven't had one massive argument, ever, in our whole friendship. That's pretty good, isn't it? It's true. Happy wife, happy life. Sam is always upbeat, he's literally the light behind everything we do. I'm the miserable darkness and the shade! Sam makes me a better person and is genuinely always this happy. Pete's a happy boy tonight, though. Look at that smile! True, I've had a lot to drink though and that might be contributing. Ha ha, good question. We're going to spend time together this summer, but we'll probably just cry into our beers. That's all. We won't say any more on that front. I'm over the moon. We've never won anything in our entire lives! Well, Sam, you won the bloody jungle, but me, I've never won anything. I genuinely can't believe it. We're a pair of useless numpties so this is just so mad to me. Our podcast has been up for so many awards over the years and we've never won, so we had no expectation tonight at all. We actually came in a limo thinking it would be ironic for the losers to go home in a flashy limo, but now it's going to look like we knew we were going to win. Definitely not, I wouldn't say so. We've spent over a decade in this industry and we're still a couple of wallies. I don't think we'll ever be relevant really. Sam has tried though, bless him. He's even got a mullet. That's true. I've dyed it, too. It was a bit of a sandy colour before. I'm truly pulling out all the stops to be relevant. I've not quite got Pete's luscious locks to work with, though. In all seriousness, I want to say that, Sam, I'm really proud of you and you're my best mate. Recording the podcast is my favourite day of the week because I spend it with you. We've just sold out the 02! That was a pretty big goal. Yeah, we're performing the podcast at the 02 in September. Can you believe it? At the end of our tour last year Sam told me we needed to do the 02, but we didn't think it would actually happen. Now it has and we honestly couldn't be more excited about it. We've got a book coming out too, but we can't tell you much about it. You'll just have to buy it. There'll be lots of pictures, a bit like Where's Wally! The Mirror spoke to Sam and Pete at the TRIC Awards, partnered with OK!
