In the first image – captioned ‘Me in June 2019’ – Zara was reclining while sporting a black bikini, pouting at the camera and looking sensational. 

She then shared another bikini picture showing her notably slimmer frame.  

She penned in an accompanying caption: ‘Can’t believe how far I’ve come! The first pic of me was a girl who never exercised and at whatever she wanted… She wasn’t unhappy or insecure about weight…

‘But she knew that she needed to start exercising, eating more fruits and veggies and making wiser choices in order to be healthier.’

Posing up a storm, Zara flaunted her toned and tanned figure in the grey bra and matching underwear from Lounge, which she teamed with a blue shirt.

The previous post on Zara’s Insta saw her hinting her and Sam were back together as she posted a loved-up throwback snap on Sunday.

Zara cryptically captioned the image: ‘I promise that you will always have my heart ❤️,’ leading fans to believe this was confirmation that they had reconciled.

It’s not unusual for the stunner to share gushing images of her and Sam from the past – having relentlessly tried to get his attention since her cheating scandal came to light in September.     

The couple initially split in August after model Zara admitted to cheating on her partner during her stint on The X Factor in 2019, but the couple have since decided to give things another go after months of her public attempts to win him back. 

On getting back together, a source exclusively told MailOnline on Sunday: ‘They are certainly back together again. This finally happened about two weeks ago now. He took her back.’    

Rumours of a reconciliation hit fever pitch after the socialite was spotted leaving Sam’s home at 9AM two weeks ago.

Sam had previously stated on Made In Chelsea that their 16-month relationship was well and truly over. 

Following their split, Sam unfollowed Zara on Instagram and publicly ignored her several declarations of love, but he has since decided to refollow her.   

They were also said to have enjoyed a roast dinner with their friends earlier in the month, with a source telling The Sun: ‘They were all having such a nice time that one got carried away and uploaded a post with Sam and Zara in it, forgetting that they’re not officially together.

‘The friend soon realised their mistake and deleted the post before it drew too much attention. The word amongst their inner circle is they’re back together, but to the public it’s a different story.’

Since then, the blonde revealed she won’t be quitting MIC at the end of the current series, despite recently telling her pal and Sam’s ex Tiffany Watson she plans to move to Los Angeles to pursue her modelling career further.   

During a recent episode of Made In Chelsea, Sam was visited by his pal Reza Amiri-Garroussi, who came bearing a letter from Zara.

On the break up, Reza said: ‘Got to say though after meeting her, I did feel bad for her. She’s in a bad way. It’s a s*** situation for everyone involved. But she really is upset. Legit.’

Sam then broke down while reading out the letter from Zara, which read: ‘Dear Sam, since you’ve been away I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on a lot of things. I’ve reflected on my life and our life together and also the kind of life I want to live…

‘Before I continue with some of the things I need to say, I just want to tell you again I am sorry with my whole entire heart for what I did….

‘I’m so deeply ashamed of my actions and the way I hurt you. I was selfish, immature and stupid. There is no excuse.’

After his meeting with Sam, Reza then reported back to Zara that Sam is ‘completely out,’ despite her attempts and letter to win him back to which she started crying. 

Among Zara’s impassioned throwback posts of her and Sam she captioned one: ‘I choose you. And I’ll choose you over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I’ll keep choosing you.’

The post came after Sam mocked the moment Zara begged for his forgiveness on TV in a now-deleted video, before later apologising for causing any offence and insisting he asked for her permission.
