Ex-partners Sam Thompson and Samie Elishi had a reunion at the National Television Awards event held last night. The two reality TV personalities were spotted engaging in a friendly conversation in a designated smoking area outside the O2 Arena during the awards ceremony.
Both Sam and Samie were among the attendees at the London event, which was broadcasted on ITV. Sam, aged 33, covered the red carpet alongside his friend Pete Wicks, while 25-year-old Samie, a former Love Island contestant, was present as the show was nominated for the Reality Competition accolade.
Despite reportedly parting ways over the summer, Sam and Samie came together again at the special event. Photographs from the Daily Mail captured the former Made in Chelsea star and the ex-Islander standing together outside the London venue, seemingly in good spirits while accompanied by another individual.
Sources revealed that the pair, who have managed to maintain a friendly relationship post-breakup, discreetly exited the event to have a cigarette. They engaged in a conversation in the smoking area before departing, presumably choosing not to attend the official afterparty following the NTAs this year.
This marked the second casual encounter between Sam and Samie within a few weeks, following their previous meeting at a launch event organized by haircare brand REHAB in July.
An insider disclosed to the Daily Mail that the exes were seen chatting as they queued for drinks at the event, which also saw the presence of Sam’s former co-star, Lucy Watson. The source mentioned that the pair kept gravitating towards each other continuously during the night.
Reports in June indicated that Sam and Samie had ended their relationship after two months together. Their romance had commenced after Sam’s split from Zara McDermott, another Love Island alum, last year.
Three months ago, a source confirmed the separation of Sam and Samie to the Mirror, citing that their busy schedules were a contributing factor to the breakup. The source mentioned, “They both have busy lives, it just didn’t work out.”
