A source told The Sun that, “Louis whisked Zara away for a break in Suffolk and he absolutely charmed her”.

The source also claimed: “They share the same values and are both incredibly close with their families. Louis is very protective over his sisters and Zara is the same with her younger brother Brad. For now, they’re taking things slowly and enjoying each other’s company to see where it takes them.”

The former One Direction member and TV presenter were rumoured to have a romance brewing when fans noticed that the two had started following each other on social media. Shortly after that, eagle-eyed fans noticed Louis’s sisters also began following Zara.

The pair have also been liking each other’s recent Instagram pics, and it’s thought that they have been on a few low-profile dates over the past few weeks.

Zara was previously in a five year relationship with I’m a Celebrity star Sam Thompson.

However, the two went their separate ways as they had “grown apart”. Friends of Zara have said that she is entitled to “dip her toe into the water again”.
