Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott's fans 'can't cope' with their The Chase-themed costumes

Sam Thompson and girlfriend Zara McDermott had their fans in stitches with their hilarious Halloween costumes on Monday.

The Made In Chelsea stars surprised their combined 3.2 million followers - Sam has 1.5 million while Zara has 1.7 million - with their brilliant The Chase themed outfits.

Sam, 30, was inspired by Chaser Anne Hegerty for his costume, wearing a full face of makeup, a white shirt and black suit jacket which was fastened by a belt, a pencil skirt and black shoes.

Former Love Island star Zara, 25, was more casual as she pretended to be the hit ITV quiz show's money board, with £38,000, £2,000 and -£2,000 written on the cardboard cutout.

Sam looked deadpan as he posed for the photos in character, while Zara offered a gentle smile for the camera.

The reality TV star turned radio host wrote on his Instagram account: "We don’t play games for Halloween in this household," garnering over 108,000 likes.

Sam's sister Louise, who also featured on the E4 programme, commented: "Is that a PLT (Pretty Little Thing) suit?" before adding: "Prize for most rogue Halloween costume".

Zara, who also shared one of the photos on her Instagram Stories replied: "ITV been real quiet since we posted this."

Several fans said they "can't cope", while another penned: "You have just won Halloween".

Another fan believed Sam's attempt was convincing, writing: "You look more like Anne Hegerty than Anne Hegerty."

Many of his followers were inspired by the couple, who rekindled in December 2020 after a brief split two months earlier, for next year's costumes.

Last month, Zara said she thinks Sam is readying himself to get down on one knee and pop the question.

She did rule out the pair having kids anytime soon, admitting becoming a parent isn't currently in her "frame of mind".

Zara admitted she used to believe she'd have a big family, but says it's not something she's thinking of just yet and has instead turned her attention to walking down the aisle with her beau.

She thinks the couple will have an intimate wedding ceremony someday soon and is pinning her attention firmly on that instead of growing the family.

"When I was younger, I used to think that I wanted like loads, now it's not even like in my frame of mind. You will not expect any children from me for a long time," she told Mail Online.

"We have a lovely little nephew next door, so we get our baby fix and then give it back."
