Sam Thompson was left speechless when asked a bold question about ex Zara McDermott and boyfriend Louis Tomlinson.

Whilst hosting Hits Radio Breakfast Show on Thursday (9 April), Thompson covered his face in shock after listener Holly asked him: “How do you feel about playing the song from One Direction ‘Steal My Girl’ knowing that one of the 1D boys did actually steal your girl?”

Thompson, 33, and McDermott, 29, split in 2024 after a five-year relationship. The following year, the 29-year-old went public with her new relationship with the One Direction singer.

The 33-year-old revealed that he loves the song and “listens to it on the tube all the time”.

Thompson, who is also in a new relationship, said he is happy as he believes that “everyone has found their person”.
