It came after they were pictured engaged in a heated chat after Soccer Aid, before Zara was later seen reportedly crying near their home in west London.
Last week, Sam’s famous sister Louise Thompson dismissed any signs of trouble revealing she and boyfriend Ryan Libbey, 33, will soon be joining for couple for a sun-soaked getaway.
Telling OK!: ‘We’ve got plans to go on holiday with Sam and Zara this summer, which will be lovely’ – however it is unclear when the interview took place.

Zara’s representatives declined to comment, MailOnline have also also approached Sam’s reps.
Earlier this week, in snaps obtained by The Sun, Zara appeared emotional and could be seen speaking on her phone with one onlooker claiming she screamed: ‘I’m not feeling the way I need to feel and I’ve been putting it off.’
They went on to tell the publication that star was ‘in a bad way’ and ‘clearly distressed’ saying: ‘She was pacing up and down the same road holding a cup of coffee. She was beside herself.’
Nevertheless, amid claims their relationship problems are simply desperate publicity stunt, the onlooker admitted finding the spectacle rather strange.
‘It was odd she was having such a personal conversation outside in broad daylight instead of at home’.

Meanwhile Sam broke his silence after he was consoled by his pal Pete Wicks at the TRIC Awards last week amid reports of his ‘crisis talks’ with Zara.
In pictures exclusively obtained by MailOnline, the I’m A Celebrity winner was spotted during an emotional exchange with his close friend in the smoking area at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.
Sam appeared to break down in tears before Pete sweetly embraced him, however the Made In Chelsea star has now explained why he was so emotional.
Speaking on his podcast Staying Relevant, he revealed he had received some upsetting news that day but confirmed he wasn’t crying.
‘I wasn’t crying, I wasn’t actually crying. I just want to let everyone know that now.
‘Look, there’s no way of getting around it. I had actually received some bad news, so I actually was really sad, I’m not going to lie about it, but I was.’
Sam explained that Pete took him around the back of the hotel to console him and provide a shoulder to cry on.
It comes after Sam shared a clip of him arguing with Zara as part of a spoof advert
In the comedic sketch the pair bicker together as Sam brushes and unhappy looking Zara’s teeth before she snaps: ‘You know it is also 100% recyclable, just like boyfriends’
On Thursday Zara made her first public appearance since reports of the couple’s crisis talks as she chose her dad Alan as her Wimbledon plus one
He explained: ‘I let it go, I let it all out. I am head butting Pete’s shoulder. I am caressed into his armpit and he is being such a good mate saying “I am always there for you blah blah blah” and I am feeling very sorry for myself.’
During the awards both the pair’s podcast and I’m A Celebrity were nominated, but neither managed to bag the accolade.
Lightening the mood, Pete joked: ‘Personally I just think it was Sam’s way of letting out the fact that we hadn’t won an award. I think that’s where the tears stemmed from.’
Sam didn’t address his relationship as he thanked his followers and listeners for reaching out and sharing their support after the TRIC snaps.
He finished: ‘I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Everything is good now but it was a tough old time.
