has voiced her concerns after boyfriend experienced ‘intense’ stomach pains that made him feel like he was ‘dying’.
The star shared an update on her Made In beau, explaining that he had undergone medical tests in the past, but doctors are still in the dark over what is causing his issues.
It was previously revealed that the 29-year-old suffered a small hernia, but it is unclear whether this is the only cause of his pain.
In an Instagram story post, Zara told followers: ‘Just put Sam back to bed…bless his heart he’s so unwell again.
‘A few weeks ago he was really poorly with intensely painful stomach cramps. He has an endoscopy & stool sample that both biopsies detected inflammation but the doctor hadn’t been overly clear as to what that means / why it’s there.
‘He said to come back in a few weeks but in the meantime Sam has gone downhill again.
‘He can barely keep his eyes open, concentrate on anything and he’s losing weight! And also his appetite is not there.’
‘He has good & bad days,’ she continued. ‘Yesterday was okay but for the last month he’s had stomach pains around his belly button, some have been intense and he was literally like “I’m gonna die” and then the rest of the time it’s a low level pain!
‘A few people asking about the hernia he has – the doctor said he’s not sure if the two are even linked.
‘The fatigue is so bad I’ve never seen him like this before. He keeps falling asleep which he never does.
‘But all of you are being so helpful already. Thank you so much.’

They hit a rough patch last year and briefly split, but reunited shortly after and have been inseparable ever since.

‘Wedding bells are definitely on the horizon and I think we’ll have children in the not too distant future,’ he said. ‘I’m about to become an uncle very soon.
‘I’m looking forward to that and honing my skills as a budding parent with my nephew.’
