‘He started dating ex-girlfriend Yasmine hours after his relationship with Inga ended, which caused huge upset in the Made In Chelsea cast.
‘There have certainly been situations that Paul will need to analyse and hopefully give Sam the necessary feedback he needs to grow.’
Sam joined Made In Chelsea in 2017 and is known for causing conflict on the E4 series, as well as dating many of his co-stars.
He had a long-term relationship with former cast member Inga before she quit the show in the aftermath of their breakup.
Right after they separated, Sam moved on with Yasmine, who was one of Igna’s close friends, causing them to dramatically fallout.
In November last year, Sam and Yasmine’s one-year romance came to an end and they stopped making their jointly run podcast.
They are both appearing on the current season of Made In Chelsea, with the latest episode seeing Yasmine in tears after she was faced with Sam going on a date with co-star Zeyno Taylan.
Single Sam, who also has history with Kate Moss’ half-sister Lottie, is leaving Chelsea behind for Ibiza as he joins the cast for the latest Celebs Go Dating.

Mother-of-three Christine has joined the dating agency following her divorce from TV presenter Paddy after 11 years of marriage
This year’s cast features Christine, who will be open to dating both men and women on the show.
Christine was married to TV presenter Paddy for 11 years before they split for good in 2022.
After they stayed living together for the sake of their three children, twins Leo and Penelope, and daughter Felicity, who have all been diagnosed with autism, the ex-couple finalised their divorce out of court last summer.
Christine has revealed how ‘difficult’ the breakup had been for her, as the pair’s marital home, a Cheshire mansion worth £6.5million, was put on the market.
She said: ‘I’ve never spoken about the reasons for our divorce, and I don’t know if I ever will.
‘It was a difficult time. It wasn’t something that, you know, I just decided to do overnight, or that we chose to do.
‘We tried, and, yeah, there just, unfortunately, there was no repairing it, you know?’
