Jamie Laing at war with best pal Sam Thompson after betraying him by striking up romance with his ex-girlfriend Sophie Habboo
JAMIE Laing is at war with best pal Sam Thompson after striking up a romance with his ex-girlfriend Sophie Habboo.
The new Made in Chelsea fling has caused huge problems between Jamie and Sam who feels one of his closest friends has committed the ultimate betrayal.
A TV source told The Sun: “Sam has been left devastated by Jamie’s actions.
“They’ve been close friends for years and Jamie knows how heartbroken Sam was when Habbs finished with him.
“Habbs should have been massively off limits – but instead he’s been hooking up with her behind Sam’s back which has really shocked their entire friendship group.
“It’s also incredibly hurtful on Habbs’ part. She’s good friends with Jamie’s ex Frankie Gaff and has massively broken girl code.”
Sam’s relationship with Habbs came to a dramatic end when she dumped him on screen in December.
As a result Sam left Made in Chelsea after six years on the series and joined the Celebs Go Dating agency for a second time in a bid to find the one.
Meanwhile Jamie, who's previously dated Sam's sister Louise, Lucy Watson and Frankie, ended his brief romance with French girlfriend Heloise Agostinelli last month.
Louise was furious with Habbs after questioning why she led Sam on in scenes from last year's show.
Lucky for Habbs, Louise also quit the programme in March – or she would definitely have something to say to her and Jamie about their treatment of Sam.
After leaving the E4 series Sam confirmed his confidence had taken a hit after being dumped on screen by Habbs.
He said: "Getting dumped all the time was chipping away at my confidence.
"You don't want to be around your ex. Everyone on there is now more her friend and a lot of my friends have upped and left."
