It comes after Zara offered another hint that her romance with boyfriend Louis is heating up as they celebrated their first Christmas together.
Last week, it was revealed Zara had celebrated her 29th birthday with a cosy weekend away with Louis and his sister Lottie.
In a post on her Instagram Stories, Zara revealed she’d finished wrapping all of her Christmas presents, and asked if her followers needed any help with last-minute gifts.
Under Zara’s tree were a pile of neatly-wrapped presents, and some of the labels showed they had been signed by both her, and her boyfriend Louis.
The Love-Island star-turned-documentary-maker moved on with the musician after a string of dates in March, and their relationship has been going from strength-to-strength since they confirmed they were officially an item back in August.
Zara shared a loved-up selfie with Louis during a winter walk on Sunday and penned: ‘The best birthday ever with you ❤️ & the final year of my 20’s!!’

The sweet birthday post came just hours after Sam Thompson finally went Instagram official with new girlfriend Talitha Balinska after confirming the romance earlier this month.
Made In Chelsea star Sam, 33, went public with his new relationship at the start of December, whilst throwing subtle shade to his ex.
Sam decided to make successful London DJ Talitha, 25, his girlfriend after months of dating – with the pair initially being set up by Sam’s friend and business partner Reza Amiri-Garroussi.
And on Saturday night Sam shared a new photo to his Instagram, beaming beside the musician as they cosied up for a gorgeous snap during a London dinner date.
Zara and Sam dated for around five years – with the pair going official in May 2019 and later splitting in December 2024.
