After recently celebrating her 26th birthday in London with her family, Zara McDermott has jetted off to Barbados to continue the fun with boyfriend Sam Thompson.
The Love Island star, whose birthday falls on 14 December, has made sure to celebrate her big day in style, with her and former Made in Chelsea star Sam, 30, heading on a romantic getaway together.
However, things haven't quite gone to plan for the couple, with Sam being struck down with a stomach bug as soon as they landed in Barbados.
Zara revealed she's been exploring on her own as bed-ridden Sam attempts to recover in their hotel room.
"Grabbing some solo lunch as poor Sam is in bed… he's been so unwell for the past 12 hours straight feel so sorry for him that he's not been able to come outside yet. hopefully he feels better soon!!!!" Zara told her Instagram followers.
Meanwhile Sam issued an update to his fans from his bed, writing: "Day 1 of 5 in Barbados….Stomach bug… I blame the morning airport Nando's," along with a laughing emoji.
Zara went on to reveal that Sam had sought medical assistance for his stomach bug, with a doctor coming to their hotel to administer an injection.
However, the ex-Islander told how she'd been making the most of her first day in Barbados despite her boyfriend's illness, and shared a string of glamorous photos of herself on the beach.
She revealed she'd been enjoying walks along the beach and headed out for breakfast, with Sam finally feeling well enough to leave their room later on and snapping some stunning pics of her.
Zara and Sam's romantic trip comes after they recently sparked engagement rumours as the ex Made in Chelsea favourite shared a gushing tribute to his girlfriend on her birthday.
Captioning the post, Sam wrote: "I love this girl more than I ever thought was possible. I’m never really that serious on here but in all honesty, I can’t imagine life without her.
"@zara_mcdermott you are the most special, precious shining star in this world I am so grateful for you, and how you make me the best version of myself. Happy birthday and thank you for putting up with me."
Former TOWIE star Gemma Collins led the calls for Sam to propose to the birthday girl, she commented: "Put a ring on it [prayer emoji] happy birthday Zara x".
One fan added: "This is definitely a proposal waiting to happen" while a second said: "Maybe it’s time to Pop the question."
