Sam Thompson and girlfriend Talitha Balinska made their red carpet debut at the King’s Trust 50th Anniversary Celebration on Monday alongside his sister Louise.
The TV personality, 33, and the influencer, 25, looked more loved-up than ever as they cosied up for photos on the red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall.
The couple, who confirmed their romance in December, dressed to impress for the star-studded bash and were joined by his reality star sister Louise, 36.
Sam, who previously dated Zara McDermott, cut a dapper figure in a black doubled breasted suit which he teamed with a crisp white shirt and smart navy tie.
The I’m A Celebrity star wrapped his arm around glamorous girlfriend Talitha, who stunned in a white satin gown.
Styling her brunette tresses in voluminous waves, the social media star elevated her frame in a pair of heels and kept her jewellery to a minimum.
The couple cosied up for photos as they were joined by Louise, who looked sensational in a black satin gown which featured a mesh cape.

The mother-of-one added inches to her frame in a pair of black stilettos and styled her dark tresses in a sleek up do.
Sam revealed in February he told Talitha he’s ‘in love’ with her while they were sat on the sofa together, telling his friend Pete Wicks he’d ‘known for a bit’ but struggled to say the words.
Last month, Sam shared how he really feels after THAT viral radio call about his ex-girlfriend Zara’s boyfriend Louis Tomlinson.
The radio presenter split from TV personality Zara, 29, in 2024 after five years together.
Zara then confirmed her relationship with the former One Direction singer months later, going Instagram official with him after weeks of speculation.
And last month, while hosting his Hits Radio Breakfast, Sam was left speechless as he was put on the spot by a listener who brutally asked: ‘How do you feel about playing the song from One Direction, Steal My Girl, knowing that one of the 1D boys did actually steal your girl?’
Now, Sam has opened up about the very awkward moment on the latest episode of his podcast Staying Relevant with best pal Pete Wicks.
He explained: ‘I love breakfast radio but when you put a link out and we take a call and as the songs happen you have a small two-minute window to pick up the phone and they say this is my question and if it passes with the producer then they come on.
‘I believe good old Holly said ‘Are there any songs that Sam doesn’t like playing on the radio?’ Which is fair enough, cool.’
He continued: ‘But then Holly comes on and asks a slightly different version of that question.
‘I meant every word of it by the way. I feel like we can move on, it’s been enough time.’

Pete Wicks is teased by pal Sam Thompson over his romance with ‘girlfriend’ Olivia Attwood
Pete added: ‘I thought you handled it very well. No one cares other than Holly and just from me to you Holly, ‘f*** you’.’
Pete added: ‘Call my f***ing radio station and see what answer you get.’
While Sam joked hinting at Pete’s relationship with Olivia Attwood: ‘We all know what question we want the answer to.’
Despite the very brutal question asked to Sam on air, he handled the moment like a pro and after a few seconds to compose himself he tried to recover.
He replied: ‘Holly, I am live on air! How do I feel? First of all, and I mean this when I say it, it’s a brilliant song. I still listen to it on the tube.’
He continued: ‘I know that sounds weird, but I listen to it on the tube all the time. I don’t actually feel weird about it because I feel quite happy as long as everyone else is happy.
‘I think everyone has found their person, and I think that’s really, really nice. And I’ve actually met said guy, and he seems like a really nice dude, so I feel pretty good about it, to be fair. And it is an absolute banger. Everyone is looking for love, you know.’
The former Love Island star began dating Louis in March 2025, with the couple jetting to the Caribbean after spending their first Christmas together.
It’s understood that Zara has moved into multi-millionaire Louis’s north London mansion, having initially moved back into her parents’ house after leaving the Fulham home she shared with ex-boyfriend Sam.
And it seems Sam’s new girlfriend Talitha revealed the couple have taken a big step in their relationship as she teased that she has moved into his Fulham home after sharing a new TikTok video.
She said: ‘Living with a man is so exhausting. All I asked was for him to put this toothbrush in the right place. God.’
The influencer could be seen picking Sam’s pink toothbrush up from beside the sink and putting it back in the holder.
