ZARA McDermott has touched down in paradise to meet boyfriend Louis Tomlinson and is wasting no time soaking up the views. The Love Island star shared a breathtaking sunset snap from Costa Rica hours after One Direction's Louis flew her first-class to the tropical getaway. Zara admired the glowing orange and pink sky over green hills, and wrote over top “beautiful.” The serene scene, posted to her Instagram Stories, comes after The Sun revealed Louis covered her plane ticket so they could spend time together, as things heat up. The sunger spent thousands of pounds to fly Zara 5,000 miles to see him while he’s making his next album. Louis invited Zara to stay with him at a secluded villa on the coast in Santa Teresa. A source said: “Louis and Zara are going from strength to strength. “He got his team to organise her first-class travel from London to Costa Rica over the weekend. “It meant Zara was unable to attend the TV Baftas but she is keen to spend as much time with Louis as possible." Louis will be back in the UK for Soccer Aid net month and taking to the pitch at Old Trafford for the annual charity match alongside Zara's very recent ex boyfriend Sam Thompson. But insiders said Zara wouldn’t be heading to the stadium to cheer either of them on. A friend added: “It will be awkward enough for Louis and Sam, let alone if Zara went. She has no desire to make things about herself and won’t be attending. “She will be cheering Louis on from home.” Made In Chelsea star Sam split from Zara four months ago, and is now set to play on the same side as her new boyfriend in next month’s charity match. Speaking out about the potentially awkward meet-up for the first time, Sam admitted: “I’ve never met Louis. “But the moment I see him, I’ll be like, ‘mate, how amazing is this what we’re doing? And hopefully we can make as much money as possible’. “And I imagine – from what I hear is a really lovely bloke – I imagine the reply will be exactly the same.” But Sam couldn’t resist a subtle dig at Zara and Louis’s relationship, choosing to label it a “hook-up” rather than anything serious. “It’s a charity football game and everyone will have a smile on their face,” he added to The Mirror. “Everybody is doing it for a cause that is far beyond relationships and who’s hooking up with who and all that kind of stuff. Football brings everyone together.” Wayne Rooney will be Soccer Aid’s England boss alongside boxer Tyson Fury. Speaking about the game on their podcast, Staying Relevant, his pal Pete Wicks joked that Sam will need to get Tyson on side in case there are any rivalries on the pitch. Sam, who is taking on a mammoth 260-mile endurance challenge named Match Ball Mission for Soccer Aid, said: "I’m really looking forward to playing alongside Wayne Rooney. Tyson Fury’s the manager. I can’t wait.” Sensing the tension, Pete smirked: “I mean, that’s gonna be f***** amazing. “Make sure you get him on side though, because you may need him in your corner in case you fall out with anyone."
