SAM Thompson's best mate Pete Wicks has broken his silence on Zara McDermott's new romance.
Love Island beauty Zara, 28, is dating One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, 33, after her split from I’m A Celeb winner Sam Thompson, 32, last year.
The Sun first broke the news that Zara and Louis were dating, just weeks after her split from the Made in Chelsea hunk.
And just yesterday, the pair were spotted on a romantic stroll in Malibu as they held hands in public.
Pete, 37, Sam's best pal, has now broken his silence on Zara's new romance and how she's quickly moved on with a new man.
Pete and Olivia Attwood, 33, hosted KISS Breakfast this week, with today marking their final day at the helm.
During Liv's favourite new feature on the show, Olivia Attwood's Hot Gossip, the pair discussed the new couple's sighting in Malibu.
Breaking his silence on Louis and Zara's new romance, Pete was keen to keep his thoughts under wraps.
"I know them, I have a slight connection there and you know, I'm happy, I'm happy for them...
"That's amazing, I've seen the pictures they're walking through a car park, really romantic...
"I'm really struggling not to say anything but it is good gossip.
"I might tell you some more off air," he said to Olivia.

Timeline of Louis Tomlinson's love life
Here we delve into Louis' love life since his rise to fame in One Direction.
Hannah Walker - Louis' first girlfriend, who he dated in 2010. They split in 2011 as his band One Direction took off and the long distance romance was too much for them.
Eleanor Calder - The pair dated on and off from 2011 to 2022. They were first photographed kissing at the London Olympic Games in 2012.
Briana Jungwirth - Louis dated American Briana in 2015 and they have a son named Freddie, who was born in 2016.
Sofie Nyvang - Louis was rumoured to be in a relationship with Danish model Sofie in February 2023. They split two months later in April 2023.
“Louis is totally smitten with Zara and she feels the same about him.”
Before they were spotted in Malibu this week, the pair both posted videos from a Stereophonics gig at The Wiltern theatre in Los Angeles.
They both shared near-identical clips from the same spot inside the venue.
Zara and Louis holding hands in Malibu marked the first time they've been pictured as a couple since their cosy dinner date in March.
Last month, Zara and Louis were seen at Aldeburgh’s The Suffolk where rooms cost up to £315 a night.
One onlooker said at the time: “They looked every bit the happy couple.”
One guest snapped photos of them together after spotting the pair tucking into £100 whole brill and chips.
The guest, who was also dining in the hotel, told us: “Louis and Zara were having a great time.
“They were touching hands over the table and looked so happy and relaxed.”
