‘She wishes people would let them move on’: Zara McDermott ‘hurt to still be labelled a cheat’ after rekindling romance with Sam Thompson

Zara McDermott reportedly wishes she could be allowed to move on with her boyfriend Sam Thompson without being continually reminded of her cheating betrayal.

The Love Island star, 24, made the shock confession on the last series of Made In Chelsea that she had slept with another man during her stint on X Factor: Celebrity, while she was in a relationship with Sam, 28.

But Zara is now reportedly tired and ‘hurt’ by trolls who ‘keep bringing up the past’ and flood her Instagram post with cruel comments any time she uploads a picture with Sam.

A source told OK! Magazine: ‘Zara hates when people bring up the past. 

‘Every time she sees a comment about the cheating, it makes her feel sad. It still hurts her to be labelled a cheat. 

‘She knows it’s hurtful for Sam too and just wishes people would let them move on. ‘

MailOnline has contacted Zara’s representatives for comment. 

While Sam and Zara’s relationship breakdown was played out on Made In Chelsea, the couple have appeared stronger than ever in recent months.

On Valentine’s Day, the reality star gifted Zara a huge bouquet of flowers. 

Posting a snap on Instagram, he wrote: I still wake up thinking it’s a dream. I love you.’ 

Sam previously told MailOnline how his brief split with Zara ‘humanised’ him.

He also confessed to sympathising with her after learning from his own past and being ‘the person who’s made a mistake and come back stronger.’   

Sam said: ‘I believe in forgiveness. I understand the context – and I think in any walk of life you can’t move forward unless you forgive.

‘Forgiveness allows you to heal. You can only heal when you forgive the other person and get over that.  

‘I would definitely say no matter what you should always try to forgive and you’ll feel better in yourself – it’s f***ing easier said than done but you’ve got to strive for that.

Sam had previously stated on Made In Chelsea that their 16-month relationship was well and truly over, following revelations she had cheated.

Following their split in August, Sam unfollowed Zara on Instagram and publicly ignored her several declarations of love. 

However in the series finale of the show, Sam revealed he was willing to give things another go.
