Pete Wicks had made a cheeky joke about Sam and Louis\u2019 rivalry (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pete Wicks<\/a> has hilariously poked fun at Sam Thompson<\/a> and Louis Tomlinson<\/a>\u2019s \u2018rivalry\u2019.<\/p>\n

Sam, 32, and his former girlfriend, Zara McDermott<\/a>, 28, split at the end of 2024 after a five-year-long relationship. <\/p>\n

Although both Zara and Sam have moved on and have been snapped dating new people, Sam is set to have an awkward run-in that involves his ex\u2019s new partner, One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. <\/p>\n

Both Sam and Louis are set to partake in Soccer Aid<\/a> on June 15, and will play on the same celebrity team for England in the charity event.<\/p>\n

Poking fun at his friend\u2019s predicament, Pete Wicks mocked Sam mercilessly as he joked that his friend might need some support on the team.<\/p>\n

\u2018How do you feel about the lineup? Do you think you have a strong team? Any kind of people in there that you\u2019re looking forward to playing with?\u2019<\/p>\n

Sam talks soccer aid teammates!! \u26bd\ufe0f #stayingrelevant<\/a> #podcast<\/a> #samandpete<\/a> @Samthompsonuk <\/p>\n

\u266c original sound \u2013 Staying Relevant<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Sam laughed but avoided the bait and answered that he couldn\u2019t wait to play with the likes of Tom Grennan, Wayne Rooney and Tyson Fury, who is the manager of the match.<\/p>\n

\u2018Make sure you get him on side though,\u2019 Pete said about Tyson. \u2018Because you may need him in your corner. In case you fall out with anyone \u2013 not that you will \u2013 but just in case there\u2019s any rivalries or anything.<\/p>\n

\u2018You know you have to train together and it\u2019s a lot and you know when you\u2019re kind of in close quarters with someone like that, all sorts get brought up.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sam just smiled and laughed as he could see what Pete was expertly hinting at \u2013 without actually mentioning any names. <\/p>\n

Fans also saw what Pete was hinting at and commented on the hilarious interaction in the comment section. <\/p>\n

\u2018Pete stiring the pot about Louis \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 xx\u2019 commented tj69666 on TikTok.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pete this is only going in one direction,\u2019 joked sophier25rr.<\/p>\n

Many joked that, seeing as Sam and Louis are both such nice people, they are actually more likely to become friends than rivals on the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u2018Knowing Sam he\u2019ll probably be best mates with Louie by half time \ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23,\u2019 said tonionewewant.<\/p>\n

\u2018I feel like Sam and Louis will become friends lol,\u2019 added ghostcookies1906. <\/p>\n

In March, Louis, 33, and Zara sparked romance rumours when they were\u00a0spotted on a romantic getaway in Suffolk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pair were seen together just three months after Zara\u2019s split from Sam Thompson, but he\u00a0now seems to be dating another Love Island star<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Sami Elishi, 25.<\/p>\n

This jokey rivalry conversation comes just after Louis and Zara went Instagram official with a rare heartfelt comment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week, she shared photos of her sitting smiling at an editing suite.<\/p>\n

\u2018In the edit for my new series all about Thailand. I\u2019m so unbelievably excited about this one. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve been making documentaries for 5 years now\u2026 every year that goes by I feel my confidence in front of the camera, in my producing (and in myself!!) growing so much,\u2019 she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u2018I feel really proud of this, of our amazing team for creating such a special series with so much depth to it, exploring some pretty serious topics but also capturing the fun too. I learnt SO much making this programme.<\/p>\n

\u2018I cannot wait @bbcthree (Thailand will be out later this year after my stalking documentary which will be out this summer).\u2019<\/p>\n

Soon after Louis commented, \u2018Proud of you,\u2019 confirming their romance.<\/p>\n
