Busty Louise Thompson joins her brother Sam Thompson on the BRITs red carpet as they avoid awkward run-in with his ex Zara McDermott - suong

   

Louise Thompson and brother Sam avoided an awkward run-in with his ex Zara McDermott at the 2025 BRIT Awards at London's O2 Arena on Sunday.

Louise, 34, put on a very busty display in a daringly plunging gown blue as she posed with her dapper sibling, 32, on the red carpet, just moments after his former flame made her own stylish arrival. 

Louise's eye-catching look hugged her gorgeous curves and also boasted dramatic shoulder pads and flowing sleeves.

She wore simple gold necklace to compliment the look and tied back her long dark locks into a chic ponytail.

Meanwhile TV personality Sam was suited and booted for the ceremony in a black tuxedo which he layered over a stylish navy shirt. 

MailOnline revealed Sam and Zara split in December after five years together with the former Strictly stunner recently revealing she has moved out of their Chelsea home

The  ceremony is hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, marking his fifth time at the helm of the event, after having previously presented the show in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The star-studded event will take place once again at London’s O2 Arena with the trophy this year designed by the talented Gabriel Moses.

The night will feature massive performances from Ezra Collective and special guest Jorja Smith.

They have joined an exciting lineup of already announced acts including Jade Thirlwall, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Fender, Lola Young, Teddy Swims, and The Last Dinner Party. 

Charli XCX will no longer be performing at the ceremony despite months of negotiations.

According to a close source, the decision comes as she shifted her focus toward preparing for the Grammy Awards, which took place earlier this month.

The pop singer leads the 2025 BRIT Awards nominations with five nods, closely followed by Dua Lipa who has been recognised in four categories. 

It was recently announced that Charli will receive the coveted Songwriter Of The Year prize. 

The star, 32, made history when her No1 album Brat became a cultural phenomenon last summer along with the colour slime green as millions of fans showed their support by posting clips of Charli's Apple Dance on TikTok.

And now her Brat summer lives on as Charli has received nominations in five prestigious categories including Song Of The Year for Guess ft. Billie Eilish, Artist Of The Year, Dance Act, Pop Act, and the sought-after Album Of The Year.

Dua, 29, who is already the recipient of seven BRITs, has been awarded another four nods as she goes head-to-head against Charli for Song Of The Year with hit Training Season, Artist Of The Year, Pop Act, and Album Of The Year with Radical Optimism.

US superstar Taylor Swift, 35, will battle it out with Billie Eilish in the International Artist Of The Year category, which also features Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan, as well as for the International Song Of The Year accolade.

The winners of five genre awards - Alternative/Rock Act, Dance Act, Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act, Pop Act, R&B Act - will be determined by a public vote exclusively through WhatsApp for the first time ever.

Jade Thirlwall has been nominated for the first time as a solo artist after previously winning three awards with the group Little Mix.

The singer, 32, has earned recognition in the Pop Act and Song Of The Year categories, revealing it was when she wrote the hit Angel Of My Dreams that she finally established her individual sound.

Speaking as the nominations were announced, she said: 'Obviously as a band we were nominated a few times and that's amazing but when it's for your own music and my own personal experiences, it does hit different, it feels extra special.

'When I first started this solo journey, I was writing a lot of music to exist outside of the group and figure out who I am on my own but the minute I wrote Angel Of My Dreams, that was when I knew I had arrived and this is my sound, this is me.'
