Pete Wicks teased Sam Thompson about Soccer Aid 'rivalries' during a recent episode of their podcast, as the star is set to risk an awkward run-in with his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott's new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson.
The One Direction singer, 33, and the Love Island star, 28, have been inseparable since their relationship was made public in March, three months after MailOnline revealed Zara and Sam, 32, had parted ways.
Meanwhile, former Made In Chelsea star Sam has seemingly moved on with Love Island's Samie Elishi and the new couple were spotted passionately kissing outside Olivia Attwood's birthday party this week.
However, it hasn't stopped best pal Pete from teasing Sam about Soccer Aid, which will see both Sam and Louis both playing for England in the charity football match in June.
In aclip posted to Staying Relevant's TikTok account on Thursday, Pete asked Sam: 'You're really going through it with the whole f****** body and dieting and training loads. Is that for Soccer Aid?'
Sam laughed and assured he's 'loving it' but 'no, it's not' for the game, to which Pete continued: 'Are you sure it's not for Soccer Aid? How are you feeling? You're playing again. Must be really exciting.'

He added: 'How do you feel about the line up? Do you think you've got a strong team?'
Awkwardly laughing, Sam replied: 'Got a really strong team'.
But, not dropping the subject, Pete then asked: 'Any kind of people in there who you're looking forward to playing with?'
'Loads,' Sam laughed: 'Tom Grennan. I'm really looking forward to playing alongside Wayne Rooney, Tyson Fury's the manager. I can't wait'.
Pete joked: '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. Not that you will but just in case there's any rivalries or anything.
'You know, you have to train together and it's a lot, you know when you're kind of in close quarters with someone like that. All sorts gets brought up. Anyway...'
Sam and Louis will join the likes of Tyson Fury, Jill Scott, Grennan and Paddy McGuinness in the star-studded squad, while Wayne Rooney will step out of retirement as one of the managers.
