Sam Thompson's new girlfriend Talitha Balinska attempted to avoid an awkward run-in with his ex Samie Elishi at a beauty event on Tuesday.

The pair were both in attendance to support Australian skinscare brand The Breakout Hack at their UK Boots launch. 

A source told Daily Mail: 'Talitha and Samie had mutual friends at the event but avoided speaking to each other.

'They sat at the same table but avoided conversation for the duration of the dinner.' 

Talitha boasts and impressive 163,000 followers and according to her bio is a producer, DJ and is signed to Premier Models. 

The couple have reportedly been on several dates after they first met last year on a photoshoot for Sam's sunglasses brand Dinelli Eyewear.

A source told The Sun: 'They've only been on a couple of dates, but Sam is smitten and thinks Talitha is really smart and talented.

'They have lots in common and have scintillating chats, Sam works really hard and enjoys letting his hair down in his spare time.'

Sam debuted his new romance on social media on Monday as he shared an Instagram video with Talitha.

The former Made In Chelsea star filmed an ad for Lego with his sister Louise Thompson.

In the clip,  he brags to Louise that he has a date for the evening, but when Louise finds him later, he is playing Lego by himself.

'Sam, if you had no one to hang out with, you could've just said,' Louise says in the clip and then walks away.

Talitha then sits alongside Sam and says: 'What did I miss?' 

In June, the Daily Mail revealed Sam and Samie had ended their two-month romance after things 'fizzled out' between them.

Yet things have remained amicable between the exes, with the duo enjoying a reunion at a party in August.

The couple started dating in April and were later spotted passionately kissing after attending Olivia Attwood's birthday party.

It was Sam's first public relationship since his separation from girlfriend of five years Zara McDermott.

Sam's love life recently came up when One Direction's Steal My Girl came on during a live performance of his Staying Relevant podcast with Pete Wicks.

It was a cheeky nod to his ex-girlfriend Zara who's now in a relationship with singer Louis Tomlinson.

Sam was left unimpressed as his best mate played the song during a live recording of the show.

Sam, split from his ex-girlfriend Zara in December and she is now dating Louis.

During a Staying Relevant live show, Pete got the stage band to play a rendition of One Direction's song Steal My Girl.

Sam was then seen rushing on stage to stop the band playing it to which Pete said: 'S**t, I forgot.' 

'I'll be honest with you, mate, I may have f****d up there. I, I honestly thought that would go in a different direction.' This prompted laughter from the audience.

'But don't worry, it's fine, we can try again, we can try again. Guys, f*****g hit it.'

Sam was seen on his hands and knees, jokingly cowering in embarrassment.

Elsewhere during the show, Sam opened up about having had a rough year since his split from Zara and credited Pete with being there for him.    

'You probably know, and there are a select few people you can really on those moments, and Pete is the epitome of tough exterior, gooey center, like an onion with many, many, many, many, many f*****g layers of pin,' he said.

'Caring, loyal, gentle, angry, but he's the most supportive, best friend I could ever ask for.' 

Zara and Louis have taken things up a notch, with Zara moving into multi-millionaire Louis' north London mansion, having moved back into her parents' house after leaving the Fulham home she shared with Sam.

Insiders told The Sun: 'They're smitten and she has been spending all of her time at his place, she's pretty much moved in. Zara has even started making her social media videos from there instead of her parents' [home]. 

'She had been back at her family home after her split from her ex...

'But Louis's home and her parents' house are nowhere near each other, so it made sense that she is spending more time at his.

'They're in the honeymoon stage and want to be with each other as much as possible when they're not working. Zara spent loads of time travelling with Louis this summer and now they're back in the UK she's using his place as a base a lot of the time.'

The Daily Mail has approached Zara and Louis' representatives for comment.

Zara's first Instagram post with Louis saw the couple kissing, under which Louis commented 'I love you'. Their relationship is clearly supported by their siblings, as Zara's brother wrote 'beautiful couple', while Louis' sister wrote 'love love'.
