Alongside a sweet snap holding bags of gifts, he penned: ‘Bit of a different Christmas this year. I got put in touch with a charity.

‘The camila batmanghelidjh foundation to be exact. They were struggling this year after the sad passing of Camila, and I was lucky enough to get the call up to deliver gifts across London to possibly the nicest, most selfless bunch of people I’ve ever met.

‘What could have been another standard Christmas has turned out to be one that I’ll never forget!

‘Thank you everyone that let me into your homes, and to be honest I think there’s no doubt I’ll be back next year if you’ll have me!

‘Here’s to all of the people who are there for others year round.

‘You are superheroes (and thank you to my co-pilot the camera shy JLS loving Ali) you’re one of a kind my man!’

Zara gushed over her boyfriend, writing: ‘So proud of you, it’s so lovely that you chose to give up your Christmas Day to help others.’

While others also supported his decision on how he spent his Christmas: ‘Best use of a platform and a lovely lovely thing to do for others.’

Meanwhile, Sam explained he was spending Christmas not at home with his girlfriend, revealing he’d been out delivering gifts to people in need for charity

The post comes after Zara revealed to her followers what living with Sam is like.

Sam was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 30, and since his diagnosis, he teamed up with ADHD UK to positively change what it means to live with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

During an Instagram Q&A earlier this year, a follower asked Zara: ‘How do you find living with someone with ADHD? I have it and wonder how my partner feels x’.

Zara then honestly revealed to the follower that she ‘loves Sam for who he is’ and claimed ‘we all have our quirks and individuality, neurodivergent or not.’

She said: ‘At the end of the day, we all have our quirks and individuality, neurodivergent or not! (love heart emoji) I don’t like to think I’d be any different of a person/partner if I was with someone who didn’t have ADHD.

‘And I don’t really see it as a separate thing to my partner, it’s just part of my partner and I totally love him for who he is!’

She continued: ‘Perhaps I could argue that at times I have to be quite patient; people probably think Sam is bouncing off the walls all the time at home but that couldn’t be further from the truth!’

‘He’s always his most relaxed at home, I would say I’m probably more energetic than him when we are home together!’

‘His job requires so much energy constantly that I think home time is his “recharge” time (laughing emoji)’

‘I like to let him have his own time in the evening’s as that’s really important for him with his neurodivergence,’

‘He often just needs a little reset from the world which is totally ok and I’ve never once made him feel like that’s not ok, because it totally is! (love heart emojis)’

Zara’s Instagram Q&A comes after Sam admitted that he was ‘never really himself’ on Made In Chelsea due to his ADHD struggles as he shared how his diagnosis impacts his relationship with Zara.
