Sam Thompson and Samie Elishi ‘still together’ after whirlwind romance following his split from Zara McDermott

   

SAM Thompson and Samie Elishi are still together weeks after being spotted kissing in the street.

The King of the Jungle moved on with Love Island beauty Samie last month after his split from girlfriend Zara McDermott.

But they abruptly stopped exchanging flirty Instagram likes and messages, and have not been seen out together in weeks.

She also failed to support Sam during his emotional announcement that he’s been diagnosed with autism.

 

A source revealed: "They're still very much together, but are taking it slow. They're not interested in putting on a show for people and want to get to know each other properly away from the public eye."

In a light-hearted sketch posted online, the Made In Chelsea, 32, dressed up as a dinosaur to surprise himself with the news, and referenced his earlier ADHD diagnosis.

He captioned it: "Knew there was more to the story."

He received over 87 thousand likes and over a thousand comments from supportive followers but the video, posted last week, has yet to draw a reaction from Love Island beauty Samie.

Meanwhile, Samie has jetted abroad and has been sharing a flurry of sizzling snaps from her photoshoots with Space NK.

She joined fellow Love Islanders Maura Higgins, Lana Jenkins and Amber Rose Gill on the all expenses paid trip.

Samie's pictures have notably been ignored by I'm A Celeb winner Sam.

They began dating after she appeared on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year and was left in tears by Luca Bish’s rejection.

It marked Sam’s first romantic connection since his split from Love Islander Zara, who has since gone public with new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson.

Sam and Samie then confirmed dating rumours after being pictured sharing a steamy kiss on a date night.

He later defended the romance after many fans were left convinced it was a publicity stunt.

Speaking to pal Pete Wicks, Sam said: "I stupidly looked at some comment and it was like ‘calling the paps on themselves.’

"Do you know what the f***ing worst thing is? It does look like that because they’ve long-lensed it from wherever the hell they’ve been.

"And it does just look like we’ve just stepped outside in front of a bunch of photographers and be like, 'Here you go, guys, me and this girl, we’re going to have a kiss!'"

A grinning Sam then praised Samie, calling her "a really awesome chick" amd "super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously".

It comes as Sam has faced accusations of trying to grab Zara’s attention by posting photos with the cats they once shared.

A friend told MailOnline: "They are both big on Instagram and still follow each other so it’s pretty obvious when Sam posts a picture if it’s meant for Zara or not, and that’s because it usually involves the cats.

"He knows how much the cats mean to her and how much she loved his love for them. It was a major part of her attraction to him.

"They used to sit in the house and chill out together with the cats for hours, while Sam gamed or made funny videos. It was their happy place.

"Now it seems that this is the only way that he can get attention from Zara."

The Sun has contacted their reps for comment.
