Sam Thompson Flaunts Ripped Physique After ‘Glow-Up’ Post-Zara McDermott Split

Sam Thompson offered fans another glimpse of his impressive ‘glow-up’ as he headed to the gym on Wednesday.

The Made In Chelsea star, 32, has impressed fans with his transformation in recent weeks, after his split from girlfriend Zara McDermott in December.

In a new post on Instagram Stories, Sam said that he was ‘proud’ of his progress as he filmed himself completing reps of bicep curls.

Showing of his ripped physique, he captioned the video: ‘Shameless, yes. But so very proud of my progress.’

Last month, Sam revealed the moment he decided to kickstart his viral ‘glow-up,’ following his split from girlfriend Zara.

Speaking to MailOnline on the red carpet for the TRIC Awards, Sam admitted even he’s been taken aback by the reaction to his new look, which became a recurring mention on his podcast Staying Relevant.

Sam split from girlfriend Zara at the end of last year after five years together, and she has begun dating One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. 

He said: ‘Do you know what’s funny? I sometimes and think ”how s**t did I look?” 

‘And it’s true, because I remember, and I don’t mind this going anywhere, I remember looking in the mirror and going ”damn it man, you’ve got to do something about yourself.”

‘So I just went to the gym a little bit, sort of like started buying some clothes had a haircut, and then you’re like God, I feel so great. I really really do. I feel awesome, I’m so happy, which is so nice.’

Asked whether he’s quit booze as part of his transformation, Sam added: ‘No, no. I never really drink that much, anyway, to be fair. But genuinely, it’s just having something to work towards, which was the challenge for me. 

‘And then, to be honest with you, I’ve got amazing friends and family surrounded by me as well. I’m so incredibly lucky.’

Sam previously sent fans into meltdown when he unveiled his ‘post-split glow up’. 

Sam’s hunky new look received rave reviews from fans, who gushed over the ‘beautiful’ snaps and declared he looked ‘better than ever’.

Pete also previously told MailOnline that Sam now has his own ‘nighttime skin routine’ as part of his recent transformation.

He added: ‘He’ll absolutely love this, Sam is in his kind of glow up. He’s really looking after himself at the minute. Sam smells great with him as well. He really does.

‘He looks great. So this is something I’ll be recommending to him to add into his daily routine. He’s got a full night time routine, Sam! I only found out about the other day.

‘That’s why he looked so great at the minute. And I look like I’ve been dug up – I need to work on this nighttime routine.’

In the latest, Sam is now dating American holistic nutritionist Steph Robinson, while Zara has moved on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. 

Their blossoming romance comes two weeks after MailOnline revealed the Made In Chelsea favourite was single again following the end of his relationship with Love Island’s Samie Elishi.

Podcaster Sam, who was spotted on celebrity dating app Raya post-breakup from Samie, recently admitted he needed time to heal before getting to know someone new, saying: ‘I’m going to work on myself. No dating, I’m not ready and I’ve realised that.’

But Sam and Steph have been seen together in the capital, where the nutritionist is currently residing, captioning an Instagram post in June, which was liked by Sam: ‘London, I will be seeing a lot more of you soon.’

A source told MailOnline: ‘Sam and Steph have been on a date and are getting to know each other.

‘They connected through a mutual friend and didn’t waste any time to meet in person, especially given Steph isn’t always in town.

‘Steph travels a lot for her work as a content creator but is currently spending an extended period in London and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

‘Sam is definitely having fun as a single man, going out when he isn’t working, and spreading his wings.’

Sam’s new love interest has gone viral, sharing her views on health and nutrition, including a post where she warned fans against drinking oat milk, claiming there are other non-dairy products which are better for your body.

Steph travels the world reviewing health retreats including in Austria and Mexico and regularly shares recipes to help her following banish toxic eating habits.

MailOnline has contacted Sam’s spokesperson for comment.
