‘I didn’t feel good!’ -Sam responded. “Pete was on a really nice retreat somewhere in the world, having a great time, sitting in a hot tub being really healthy.”

Explaining how he finally called Sam, Pete joked that “my favorite part was I asked Sam how your Christmas was and he said, “It was like being in a Christmas tomb. I sat in the house surrounded by Christmas things and Don’t feel Christmas.”‘

“I got calls from our PR, from our team, they were all saying that you had talked to them non-stop over the Christmas period and they said, please can you call him, please can you call him?”

“So about 30 seconds after he was done with his stuff, we moved on and he started laughing. Sometimes what you need is someone who won’t allow your depression.”

Hours before the podcast launched, Zara appeared to confirm that she had moved out of the house she shared with her ex Sam, as she gave her fans a glimpse into her busy day on TikTok.
