Sam Thompson<\/a> has said his ex Zara McDermott <\/a>took one of his favourite things. The former Made In Chelsea<\/a> star, 33, dated Zara for five years before the couple decided to go their separate ways in January.<\/p>\n

But soon after she left Sam’s Chelsea home, which she had moved into, he claims to have noticed that she had taken his Crocs with her. Sam made the admission while on the Staying Relevant podcast he shared with former TOWIE star Pete Wicks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During their latest episode, Pete asked Sam what he would choose to wear to a high profile fashion event, to which Sam said Crocs, without hesitation. He said: “Got to be the Crocs. Shock value. Get the jelly shoes on.”<\/p>\n

In response Pete said: “You haven\u2019t worn the Crocs for some time now because you\u2026” Pete wasn’t able to finish his sentence before Sam then chimed in and said: “Yeah, Zara took them.” Feeling sorry for his best pal, Pete simply said “Oh god.”<\/p>\n

In a bid to not dwell on his break up and the loss of his beloved possession, he changed the subject swiftly. He went on to say: “I need a new pair of Crocs. I actually don\u2019t have any Crocs.”<\/p>\n

The conversation surrounding his break-up comes after he revealed that he had finally made his relationship with Talitha Balinska, official. Sam has been dating Talitha, 25, for a few months but recently announced that she was now his girlfriend.<\/p>\n

Sam and Talitha first met two years ago when she modelled for Sam’s sunglasses brand, Dinelli, which he co-owns with former Made In Chelsea’s Reza Amiri Garroussi.<\/p>\n

At the time, Sam was in a relationship with Zara but he is thought to have reconnected with her when she was invited to one of his live shows at the O2 Arena. Unable to contain his excitement, he informed his listeners of his news. He said: “I\u2019ve got a girlfriend. I\u2019ve got a girlfriend!”<\/p>\n

Pete then joked: “We’ve lost him again to the dark powers of a woman.” And speaking about the moment he decided to take things to the next level, the reality TV star confessed: “Mate, it was just super relaxed. “<\/p>\n

He added: “It was so boring really, but that’s kind of how I wanted it to be. We just went for dinner, and I was like, ‘I really like you’. And I just went, ‘I’d love to be your boyfriend’. I don’t know why I’m panicking more now!”<\/p>\n

He continued: “Yeah, I just said, ‘Look, I really, really like you, and you make me feel really\u2026 comfortable. I feel like I can be myself around you. I don’t want to be dating anyone else. I’m 33, I wouldn\u2019t be dating someone this amount of time if I didn\u2019t think it had legs to last. So will you be my girlfriend?’ And she said ‘yes’ And so I said, ‘great’.”<\/p>\n
