Sam and Zara's dramatic split aired on Made in Chelsea last week.

He called it off after finding out she cheated on him during her time with The X Factor last year.

In scenes that aired on the show, she begged for his forgiveness.

After the episode premiered, TikTokers started using the audio in different scenarios.

So Sam jumped on the trend and changed the context from their split, to him trying to eat a massive Nando's meal.

Watch his full skit below:

Sam deletes the video

Sam has since deleted the video and has taken to Instagram Stories to explain the situation.

He said, "I'd just like to address the video I took down last night I found it quite funny I think 99.9% of you found it quite funny."

"But to the 0.1% I'd just like to say I did have Zara's full permission to post that, I showed it to her prior and she understood the context of it."

Sam continued, "She understood it was actually me taking the p**s out of myself and the fact Made In Chelsea has been there for every high and every low of my entire life, of how mad it is you can take a clip like that and put your own spin on it it's trending on TikTok."

"I find it hilarious and slightly terrifying."

"But she was on board with it, she understood it, I would never post something without running it by her, regardless of the fact that we're not together."

"It was in no way meant to be revenge or anything like that, and she got that."

Sam finished, "Maybe in a few months I'll post it again and the humour can be seen by all."
