SAM Thompson has revealed that he is in therapy to help cope with Zara McDermott cheating on him.
The 28-year-old reality star was left devastated after his Love Island girlfriend confessed to cheating on him during her stint on Celebrity: X Factor.
The Made in Chelsea favourite has previously been open about his own struggles with mental health and anxiety.
He has now revealed that he is getting therapy to help him get through the shocking betrayal.
Sam told OK! Magazine: “I’ve got an incredibly awesome snuggle of people around me.
“I think that also I try and look at the good things in life and I wake up every morning and say what I’m grateful for.”
The TV star admitted that he believes that people in this day and age can benefit from therapy and he goes whenever he feels stressed.
He explained: “It’s such an amazing way of starting your day. I also get therapy. I believe a lot of people should, just with the day and age we’re in. There’s so much pressure on us as a society and it’s hard.”
“The one I’ve got now, I’ve only had about six months. But then I had one before that for a short while.”
Earlier this month Zara begged for her ex’s forgiveness in an open letter as she confessed to bedding music boss Brahim Fouradi while on X Factor: Celebrity last year.
The Love Island star was forced to admit her infidelity at a dinner party while filming for the E4 show, leaving her fellow Made in Chelsea stars shocked.
Last week Zara posted an emotional video begging Sam to take her back and calling him the “love of her life”.
She shared a video montage of their memories together, starting with the message: “To the love of my life, I want you to know how much I adore you. This video will show you why.”
With Nathan Sykes’ Over & Over Again playing in the background, a series of intimate clips of Sam and Zara’s 16-month relationship replay.
The Love Island beauty added in the caption: “TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE… There aren’t enough words to describe how I feel about you.
“You are my favourite person, my truest love. I made this video montage for you of our memories over these last few years.
“I want to create a million more memories like these throughout the rest of my life… with you.
“I am sorry our journey hasn’t been the easiest, and I am forever wishing I could find a way to turn back the clock.
“Remember… you are everything. You are my moon and all my stars and everything in between. 
I miss you. I love you more and more every day.”
Sam has not publicly responded to the post.
