The former Celebs Go Dating star was left needing an injection in his behind to help with the illness, with his girlfriend there to snap the moment.
Posting a collection of pictures to Instagram from the beginning of the holiday, including Sam’s injection, Zara wrote: ‘Barbados day 1!!! checked into THE most beautiful hotel ever, walked along the beach and tucked into some delicious pancakes.

‘Sadly, Sam can’t say the same… he ate a dodgy Nandos at the airport yesterday and has been paying the price ever since and, like any good girlfriend would, I called the doctor out and took photos of him in a compromising position getting a butt injection.
‘He started to feel better so I asked him if he’d take some pics of me in my new dress… he said yes and then conveniently failed to mention that my lovely m&s knickers were on FULL SHOW.
‘I wondered why I was getting some funny looks up and down the beach. I had no idea (last slide… fml) never a dull moment.’
