Another fan added: ‘Liking this comment has basically confirmed the split for us all!!’
It comes after Sam and Zara fans became convinced they know the real reason why the couple split after five years together.
The I’m A Celebrity winner, 32, and the Strictly star, 28, have gone their separate ways just one month after Sam shared a gushing post about his ‘soul mate’ Zara on her birthday.
In the Instagram post, the radio presenter described Zara as his ‘best friend’ who is ‘stuck with him forever’.
He penned: ‘My best friend, and soul mate….some would say my person. I’m afraid you’re stuck with me forever. happy birthday. I love you so much, and wow have I missed you over the past month! Here’s to another amazing year with you’.
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;
However, many have suggested that Zara cheating on Sam in 2019 may have affected their relationship.

Sam and Zara regularly made fun TikTok videos with his sister Louis and her partner Ryan Libbey and the group also travelled together on lavish holidays
In the 2019 edition of The X Factor: Celebrity, it was revealed that Zara cheated on Sam with Brahim Fouradi, a music industry executive who has worked on talent shows such as The X Factor as part of his duties as A&R director at Simon Cowell’s company Syco. It’s understood this breach of trust had a profound effect on Sam.
Sam ended their 16-month relationship in September 2020 after he got wind of her affair with Brahim.
Zara admitted to being unfaithful in now-iconic scenes shown on the E4 reality show, Made In Chelsea which aired in 2020. At the time, Sam was widely criticised for accepting Zara’s apology and taking her back, while Zara also faced abuse online for her actions.
Discussing their recent split after spending the festive seasons apart, a friend has told MailOnline: ‘Zara and Sam’s relationship just never had felt like it was heading for the long haul.
‘They never really recovered from Zara’s cheating, most couples would have struggled lasting for as long as they did afterwards.
‘Zara had some big making up to do, especially with Louise, she really wasn’t happy when Sam took her back. But she managed to make it work and they had some great times together again, but it just felt like it was never going to be truly serious.
‘They were delaying the inevitable for several months as they had drifted apart and their lives had become very different.”
