'I believe good old Holly said "Are there any songs that Sam doesn't like playing on the radio?" Which is fair enough cool'.

He continued: 'But then Holly comes on and asks a slightly different version of that question. 

'I meant every word of it by the way. I feel like we can move on, it's been enough time'.

Pete added: 'I thought you handled it very well. No one cares other than Holly and just from me to you Holly, "f*** you"'. 

Pete added: 'Call my f***ing radio station and see what answer you get' 

While Sam joked hinting at Pete's relationship with Olivia Attwood: 'We all know what question we want the answer to'. 

Despite the very brutally question asked to Sam on air, he handled the moment like a pro and after a few seconds to compose himself he tried to recover.

He replied: 'Holly, I am live on air! How do I feel? First of all, and I mean this when I say it, it's a brilliant song. I still listen to it on the tube.

He continued: 'I know that sounds weird, but I listen to it on the tube all the time. I don't actually feel weird about it because I feel quite happy as long as everyone else is happy.

'I think everyone has found their person, and I think that's really, really nice. And I've actually met said guy, and he seems like a really nice dude, so I feel pretty good about it, to be fair. And it is an absolute banger. Everyone is looking for love, you know.'

The former Love Island star began dating Louis in March 2025, with the couple jetting to the Caribbean after spending their first Christmas together.

It's understood that Zara has moved into multi-millionaire Louis's north London mansion, having initially moved back into her parents' house after leaving the Fulham home she shared with ex-boyfriend Sam.
