The Made In Chelsea star has impressed fans with his transformation in recent weeks, after his split from girlfriend Zara McDermott in December (pictured with Ryan Libbey)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sam split from girlfriend Zara at the end of last year after five years together, and she has begun dating One Direction<\/a> star Louis Tomlinson<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said: ‘Do you know what’s funny? I sometimes and think ”how s**t did I look?”\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘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.”<\/p>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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

Sam previously sent fans into meltdown when he\u00a0unveiled his ‘post-split glow up’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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

Pete also previously told MailOnline that Sam now has his own ‘nighttime skin routine’<\/a> as part of his recent transformation.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

‘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.<\/p>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n

In the latest, Sam is now dating American holistic nutritionist Steph Robinson, while Zara has moved on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.’<\/p>\n

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.’<\/p>\n

A source told MailOnline: ‘Sam and Steph have been on a date and are getting to know each other.<\/p>\n

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

‘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.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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