Sunburnt Sam Thompson jokes he 'looks like a dad' as he hides in the shade while Zara McDermott tops up her tan in a tiny bikini in the Maldives
Sam Thompson joked he 'looked like a dad' as he struggled to cope with the hot weather in the Maldives.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 30, shared a comparison photo of himself hiding in the shade with a straw hat on, while his girlfriend Zara McDermott sunbathed on a lilo on Instagram on Wednesday.
Zara, 26, sported a golden tan as she lay on her front in a cheeky spotty bikini to soak up the sun, but unfortunately for Sam he had to retreat to the shade.
A few days prior, Sam revealed he had got sunburnt after Zara didn't apply enough suncream and so was having to stay out of the sunshine.
Posing in his blue board shorts, Sam wrote: 'Good morning from the Maldives. I look like a dad', before he then uploaded a photo of Zara with the caption: 'Some people can do this...'

He then shared a photo with sunglasses on in the shade with a towel covering his chest.
Sam wrote: 'Others have to do this. How does she not burn?'
The couple have jetted to the Maldives after an amazing trip on safari in Africa.
Zara looked sensational as she took to Instagram to share some snaps on Tuesday.
The former Love Island star gave fans a glimpse at her toned stomach as she wore a pink floral print crop top with a plunging neckline.
She had on a matching skirt which reach down to her ankles and featured a thigh-high split at the side.
The ensemble perfectly showed off her hourglass figure and she sported a glowing tan as she posed on the beach at sunset.
Reality star Zara stood barefoot on the white sand and held her arms up behind her head.

She accessorised with a pair of hoop earrings and wore lashings of make-up to highlight her pretty features.
Zara captioned her post: 'Memories to last a lifetime.'
It comes after Zara insisted she doesn't feel any pressure to take the next step with Sam Thompson.
She also insisted that women can be 'more than a wife and a mother' as she discussed being asked about potential engagement plans.
Zara added that she understands the interest in how her relationship with Made In Chelsea's Sam is progressing.
But, the reality star explained how she's focused on 'building a bigger narrative' of how she wants her life to go, that exists outside of the traditional role of a woman.
Zara also insisted that she and Sam have a 'very normal relationship,' and create their funny online videos as a hobby they can enjoy together.
She told the Mirror: 'I think we've been together too long now to feel any kind of pressure, I was thinking back to my relationships before Love Island, it's very different.
'Everything is private, nobody knows anything about what you're doing and all of a sudden, it's this weird paradox life where everything is online all the time but we both really enjoy it. So for us, there's no pressure at all.
She said: 'I think nowadays, we're in the 21st Century, we can be more than a wife and more than a mother. I'm all about empowering women to be exactly who they want to be and not feeling any kind of pressure.
'We don't live in a world where we need to be traditional anymore, I wouldn't say I get fed up with it but I understand it.'
Zara and Sam have been together since 2019.
