Zara McDermott has reportedly splashed the cash to purchase a brand new flat in West London, not far away from where she lived with ex-boyfriend Sam Thompson.
The Love Island star, 28, moved out of the lavish home she shared with the Made In Chelsea star, 32, at the start of the year, following their shock split.
But it seems she hasn’t gone far, as The Sun reports she has bought a new property nearby for a cool £500,000.
A source told the publication: ‘She bought it two weeks ago under her company name, it’s a two bed flat in a nice area and weirdly, not that far from where she lived with Sam.
‘It will make it really awkward when they cross paths at the local pub or in a coffee shop, though.’
MailOnline have contacted Zara’s representatives for comment.

‘I feel this is a home I can live in, I can maybe bring up kids one day. I feel very proud of it,’ he added.
