“I can’t believe I’ve been making documentaries for five years now… every year that goes by I feel my confidence in front of the camera, in my producing (and in myself!!) growing so much.
“I feel really proud of this, of our amazing team for creating such a special series with so much depth to it, exploring some pretty serious topics but also capturing the fun too.
“I learnt SO much making this programme. I cannot wait.
“Thailand will be out later this year after my stalking documentary which will be out this summer.”
Louis was quick to praise his reality star girlfriend, writing in the comment section: “Proud of you x”
The pop star’s message has racked up over 12k likes, which marks the first time he has publicly commented on one of her posts.
His sisters were also full of support, with Lottie Tomlinson sharing two red heart emojis in the comments.
Louis younger sister Daisy Tomlinson also wrote: “Clever and beautiful,” followed by a heart icon.
Last month Louis and Zara were spotted kissing for the FIRST time in public as she left his home in Malibu.
Louis could be seen leaning in for a kiss as he tenderly grabbed Zara and pulled her closer to him.
They then shared a smooch on the driveway as Louis passionately gripped her sweatshirt.
Their affectionate display has given fans a glimpse of their growing closeness, just weeks after The Sun revealed they were dating.
Just days before, they were spotted looking loved up as they held hands on their Californian holiday.
The couple – whose relationship is going from strength to strength – were spotted on a romantic stroll in Malibu.
A source said: “Louis and Zara are exclusive and aren’t seeing anyone else.
“Louis is totally smitten with Zara and she feels the same about him.”
It was the first time they’ve been pictured as a couple since their cosy dinner date in March.
Zara today launched her new swim and gym-wear range, Rise by Zara McDermott, for New Look.
She shared stunning snaps of herself wearing her collection’s must-have pieces on her Instagram page, while enjoying her holiday with One Direction star Louis.
The new couple had been snapped through the window enjoying £100 fish and chips together after getting to know each other out of the spotlight.
Then last week they jetted out to spend time together in Los Angeles, where they both posted videos from a Stereophonics gig at The Wiltern theatre.
Insiders claim Louis has already introduced Zara to his family.
A source told The Sun: “Louis and Zara are totally hooked on each other.
“They have kept everything very low key so far but their relationship is getting more serious.
“Zara has been busy filming a new documentary for the BBC but she scheduled in a break to get away with her family, then spend some time with Louis.
“She is really happy and has found someone very special in Louis.
Sam’s moving on
Sam, 32, who split with the Love Island star just five months ago, has moved on with reality star Samie Elishi.
Samie was pictured kissing Sam on a night out, confirming rumours that they had secretly been seeing each other.
Samie and Sam’s romance has been heating up in recent days, with both seen looking cosy together as they partied at Olivia Attwood’s birthday bash.
The couple posed for photos together and were seen holding hands inside the party.
An unnamed source told Daily Mail: “Things between Sam and Samie are really hotting up.
“Sam has introduced Samie to many of his friends now including some of the Made In Chelsea cast.
“The biggest test came on Saturday night at Olivia’s birthday party when Samie met Sam’s best friend Pete for the first time.”
The source added: “But Pete absolutely loves Samie for Sam and thinks they really suit, which has only brought them closer together.”
“Although she would hate to admit it, Samie is smitten and they really like each other.”
Outside of the exclusive bash, the duo could barely keep their hands off each other, as they shared a kiss in the street.
