SAM Thompson has started dating another reality star following his split from Zara McDermott.
The 32-year-old is said to have grown close to Too Hot To Handle star Lucy Syed, 28, as Zara moves on with Louis Tomlinson.

Swimwear model Lucy was runner-up on the show last series and reportedly had an ‘instant connection’ with Sam, before they were spotted on a date.
A friend told the MailOnline: “Sam and Lucy were sharing direct messages over Instagram before they decided to meet up at a pub and then continue their night at The Rex Rooms.
“They looked really close in the club, chatting and cuddling up together.
“But their closeness continued after they spent the night partying together and the pair’s connection has certainly put a smile back on Sam’s face.

“Sam is enjoying being single again and dipping his toe back into the dating pool.”
Like Zara, Lucy is an aspiring singer and often shares clips of her singing on TikTok.
She didn’t find love on Too Hot To Handle, which sees hot singletons from around the world come together in a tropical paradise.
The self proclaimed commitment-phobes who love a casual hook-up, then have to give up all hanky-panky for the entire retreat if they want to win the $100K (£79K) grand prize.
The Sun has contacted Sam’s rep for comment.
