Made In Chelsea's Sophie Habboo claims she dumped 'great boyfriend' Sam Thompson

Made In Chelsea's Sophie Habboo claimed she split from her ex Sam Thompson because he gave her too much attention as she now romances his BFF Jamie Laing.

It is believed the reality star, 25, has already moved on with the Celebrity Big Brother star's best friend Jamie, 30, behind the scenes.

Prior to reports she has moved on with his close pal, Sophie, 25, said she had cooled things off with Sam, 26, because he showered her with affection all of the time.

She told new! magazine: 'His best was that he doted on my hand and foot, but his worst was maybe that he doted on me too much. Some girls like that, I don't. For me, I don't like someone who's needy. Independence is key for me.'

The television personality 'absolutely' ruled out a reunion with her 'faultless' ex as she insisted he wasn't Mr Right. 

Sophie also detailed the pair don't talk anymore and she revealed they cut contact because they didn't start out as friends. 

She added: '[I would] Absolutely not [go back out with him]. He treated me well, he was lovely to me and he was a great boyfriend. I couldn't fault him in any way but he wasn't right for me unfortunately.

'Me and Sam were never friends before we went out so there was no reason for us to be friends afterwards.'

At the time of the interview, Sophie stated she did not have a boyfriend but she revealed she was 'open' to finding a new man.

Sophie gave the interview to new! magazine before news emerged that she has been romancing Sam's BFF Jamie. 

Jamie, who recently split from French model girlfriend Heloise Agostinelli, 20, is believed to have set his sights on one of his closest pal's former flames.

Sam is said to be 'devastated' by Jamie's actions because the Candy Kittens entrepreneur knows how heartbroken he was after Habbs dumped him on-screen last year.

The new romance will also no doubt cause ructions between Habbs and one of her close friends Frankie Gaff, 24, who previously dated Jamie on and off for two years.

An insider told The Sun: 'Sam has been left devastated by Jamie's actions. They've been close friends for years and Jamie knows how heartbroken Sam was when Habbs finished with him.

'Habbs should have been massively off limits – but instead he's been hooking up with her behind Sam's back which has really shocked their entire friendship group.'
