Sam Thompson’s body transformation after Zara McDermott split

Earlier this week, Sam took to his Instagram and shared a slew of snaps from his recent trip to Málaga, Spain, with sister Louise, brother-in-law Ryan Hibbey and his three-year-old nephew, Leo.

Included in the post, were photos of Sam posing with his nephew – who wore matching swim shorts – as well as snaps of his time on holiday with his family.

This Morning star Sam captioned the post: “Turns out third wheeling with your family really is the best way to recharge the batteries. What an epic few days.”
