Sam Thompson downs shots during booze-fuelled New Year’s Eve party with his Made In Chelsea ‘firm’ – while girlfriend Zara McDermott stays at home with her pet cat

Sam Thompson enjoyed a booze fuelled evening on Tuesday as he welcomed the new year at an exclusive London nightspot – without his long-term girlfriend Zara McDermott. 

The TV personality appeared to be in a celebratory mood during an appearance at Kensington Rooftop Gardens with former Made In Chelsea co-star Reza Amiri-Garroussi and an extended group of friends. 

In video footage shared across social media, Thompson, 32, is seen downing shots with his ‘NYE firm’ before hitting the dance-floor during a raucous night at the west London venue. 

But there was no sign of girlfriend Zara, who chose to spend the night at home with her pet cat. 

Sharing an image of the feline pet with Instagram followers, the former Love Island contestant – who has previously labelled herself a ‘crazy cat lady’ – wished followers a happy new year.

Thompson’s latest lads’ night out follows a recent appearance at a strip club, where he was accompanied by close friend Pete Wicks for a Christmas party with the team responsible for producing their Staying Relevant podcast.
