He continued, 'But then I had one before that for a short while.'

'I kind of just go whenever I feel really stressed and stuff, once a week normally, and there's just no judgement from anyone.'

What happened?

Zara cheated on Sam during her time on the celebrity version of The X Factor last year.

However, it wasn't until recently that Sam found out about it.

She begged for his forgiveness, but he just couldn't see past this betrayal.

'I want to apologise to my Sam for everything I have put him through, for the pain, the embarrassment, the anger and the hurt.'

'I love you Sam. Forever,' Zara finished her statement.
