Sam Thompson admits he is “terrified” to introduce his new “girlfriend” to Pete Wicks. It comes after the former Made in Chelsea star “hard launched” his romance with DJ Talitha Balinska on Instagram.

Sam shared a video last week of himself making a Harry Potter Lego set. In the video, which also features sister Louise, Sam is dressed in Hogwarts-like robes and Talitha a Sorting Hat.

Fans delightedly declared the introduction to Sam’s Instagram as a “hard launch”. Reacting to the news, Diversity dancer Perri Kiely wrote: “What an elite hard launch” with a laughing emoji.

Talitha has so far met Sam’s sister Louise and brother-in-law Ryan as well as some of his staff at Staying Relevant, the podcast he hosts with best pal Pete Wicks. However on their podcast, he revealed she hasn’t yet met Pete.

Speaking to Pete said: “If I ever got to the stage where I would introduce you, I’d be f*****g terrified. If I were to ever have a person of interest, my POI, then I would be so terrified to introduce her to [Staying Relevant producer] Pippa and you.”

Sam added: “Because you mean the most to me. If you didn’t like someone I was dating, I don’t think I’d be able to do it.”

Pete told Sam “it wouldn’t matter in the slightest” if he doesn’t get on with his partner. He added: “It’s irrelevant unless you move in with them or become something else, it doesn’t really matter, just go and enjoy yourself.”

Sam, who split with ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott shortly before Christmas 2024, went on to say he’s “happy” and just “in a good spot”. Pete added: “Hopefully the end of the year will make up for the tough year that you have had.”

Addressing their “hard launch”, Sam joked Talitha was “just there” while he was filming the video. He said: “I didn’t think about it. I just thought it was a funny end to a video with a really clearly gorgeous girl. I think she’s great.”

The Sun reports that Sam and Talitha were spotted at the Scalini Restaurant in Chelsea on Friday, days after his Instagram post. The publication says the pair have enjoyed a number of dates together since meeting on a photoshoot for Sam’s Dinelli Eyewear.

Sam has previously admitted he struggled following his split from former Love Islander Zara. On his podcast, he said: “The only thing I’m going to say because it’s not fair on the other parties and stuff but it’s been a tough month. A real tough month.”

Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, he added: “If you’ve got amazing people around you, which I do, I’m very lucky to have best friends around me and the most amazing family. So many people around me.

“I think we’ve all gone through the kind of year that I’ve had to be fair… It’s a learning curve. You get back and you figure out a lot about yourself as you go through the year.”
