Hours earlier Zara appeared to confirm she’s moved out of the home she shared with ex Sam, as she gave her fans a glimpse at her busy day on TikTok.
The TV personality documented her latest day filming for Morning Live which started with Zara getting an early start in her new home and bundling up against the freezing weather in a cosy H&M jumper, before heading into London to jump on a train to the north of England.
Alongside her morning skincare regime, the reality star quickly applied her makeup on the train and after joining her film crew, recorded her latest segment for the BBC daytime show.
Having treated herself to a cake from Greggs, Zara finished her day by joining her pal Alice at the gym and washing her hair.
She then spent the evening in bed, completing her evening journal and cuddling her beloved cat Cedric.
Zara and Sam began dating in 2019 after Made In Chelsea star Sam, 32, slid into her DMs on Instagram.
But it was reported over New Year’s that the pair had recently parted ways – though neither have publicly commented on the break-up.
It comes after fans were left convinced they know the real reason why the couple split after not spending Christmas together.

However, fans have now taken to the comments to say it was his lack of action that has prompted the pair to split as they said Sam should have asked Zara to marry him.
They wrote: ‘In the words of Beyonce. If you like it then you should put a ring on it’;
‘Propose, no time like the present’;
‘Mate, buy her a ring FFS’;
‘If she is going to be with you forever, why not put a ring on it. What are you waiting for’;
‘Get a ring on that finger’.
Another questioned: ‘How can going to be together [forever] two weeks ago [turn] to splitting up days later…this is rather extreme!!’
