Zara McDermott was spotted reportedly crying in the street this week following ‘crisis talks’ with boyfriend Sam Thompson.
The couple’s romance is said to have been on the rocks of late and the former Strictly star, 27, was seen wiping tears from her eyes as she paced up and down the road near the couple’s home in West London.
In snaps obtained by The Sun an emotional Zara can 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.

Former Love Island star Zara reportedly rushed to her parents house in Essex last month after a ‘blazing row’ with Sam saw her pack her bags and leave the London home they share.
The pair were also pictured together at the Soccer Aid afterparty, where they appeared to engage in a heated exchange.
However, Zara took to Instagram the following day to address the pictures and said she was telling the reality star ‘positive affirmations’, after it looked like they were having an argument.
As the new advert begins, Sam says: ‘Teeth are a bit like girlfriends, some are just more sensitive. Take my girlfriend for example,’ as he puts his arm around Zara.
Looking unimpressed, she asks: ‘What is this are we doing an Ad?’ before putting on a fake smile.
As she pulls a miserable face, Sam brushes her teeth throughout the clip, as he adds: ‘And just like sensitive teeth, sensitive girlfriends need all of our extra love and care.’
It comes just days after Sam shared a clip of him arguing with Zara as part of a spoof advert on Thursday, leading to speculation it’s all a stunt

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.
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.

The pair appeared to brush off the reports to focus on work, as in video obtained exclusively by MailOnline showed them filming a project together.
