Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks Attend Olivia Attwood’s Birthday Party with Rumoured Love Interests
Celebrities Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks recently attended their friend Olivia Attwood’s 34th birthday party in London’s Mayfair. The party, which was an intimate gathering of close friends, saw the two men bring their rumoured love interests along as dates.
According to the Daily Mail, Sam, 32, has been dating 25-year-old Samie Elishi, following his split from Zara McDermott last year. The two were spotted enjoying the celebrations at Olivia’s birthday party, although they were not snapped together.
Meanwhile, Pete, who hosts The Sunday Roast on KISS radio with Olivia, was pictured at the event with 27-year-old Samantha Kenny, a former Love Island star. Sources close to the couple suggest that they have been on a few dates and have really hit it off.
Sam has recently revealed on his Staying Relevant podcast with Pete that he has gone on his first date since his split from Zara. During the podcast, Sam shared that he was nervous about dating again but was feeling more confident.
"I went on a date recently. And I was so nervous that I messaged Pete. It was the sweetest thing ever, Pete basically sent me a list of what I had to do," Sam explained.
Pete reportedly sent Sam a list of advice, including not overthinking it and just enjoying the date. Sam admitted that he was clueless about what to do on a date, saying: "No idea. Pete I was going to hug her, I was going to wait outside for her, I was going to open her cab door for her. Bit keen."
The Daily Mail reports that Sam and Samie first met through his presenting role on spinoff, Aftersun. The two started exchanging flirty messages over Instagram before hitting it off in person.
An insider says Sam is beginning to feel sure on Samie and didn’t mind who saw them out together in Chelsea. "Sam and Samie are really getting along and if early signs are anything to go by, this could turn into a long-term relationship. It may be early days still, but they do really like each other," a source told the Daily Mail.
As for Pete, he is reportedly spending time with Samantha as he embarks on a ‘fresh start’ following his split from Maura Higgins. The two were seen hugging after meeting at the Amazonica club, before heading off in a cab together.
A source told The Sun: "Pete and Samantha have gone on a few dates and have really hit it off. She’s got a wicked sense of humour and is absolutely gorgeous, Samantha is a fresh start for Pete."
The parties’ representatives have been contacted for comment by the Daily Mail.

Sam’s recent ‘glow up’ has been noticed by fans, and he has opened up about his confidence struggles in recent months.
"I’m aware that I looked like f*ing st. No I am aware of that, I’ve looked at photos, I’ve looked at videos and I’ve been like, ‘My God, you’re a piece of s**t’," Sam said on his podcast.
However, he has now stated that he feels "happy and comfortable in my own skin again."
The party, which was a celebration of Olivia’s 34th birthday, seemed to be a fun and intimate gathering of friends.
