Sam Thompson appears to have hard launched his new romance, with Talitha Balinska making her Instagram debut.
Over the weekend, Talitha appeared in a video posted on Sam’s Instagram of the pair building a new Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village lego. Towards the end of the video, the model was seen taking a seat beside Sam wearing a Hogwarts-themed sorting hat.
