She became a controversial figure among some fans of the reality show, after kissing both Sam and his business partner Tristan Phipps, stirring up tension between herself and their ex-girlfriends, Inga Valentiner and Olivia \u2018Liv\u2019 Bentley.<\/p>\n
During a recent appearance on the Mother Half<\/a> podcast, hosted by Emily and Rachel Blackwell, Yas explained that she had gone into the Corsica series in a fragile mental state due to a recent death in her family.<\/p>\n \u201cI was actually thinking about not going to Corsica because I\u2019d just lost my grandma,\u201d revealed Zweegers, adding: \u201cBut she always said you have to just go on with life, you have to do you and she knew how excited I was to go.<\/p> \u201cSo I thought \u2018I\u2019m still going to go\u2019 \u2013 it would be good to distract, and I had some time to process the whole situation. It sounds bizarre but I went out there and I was almost numb to everything. I felt as if I don\u2019t care about anything, there\u2019s so much worse in life and I just wasn\u2019t thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n She went on to describe how this emotional state led to a deeper connection with Sam, who comforted her while she was grieving during production.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s such a sweet side to Sam,\u201d continued Zweegers. \u201cYou only see the cheeky side of him at filming, but one-on-one he was just very lovely. He also lost his grandma and was very close to her so we connected on that basis.\u201d<\/p>\n The reality star went on to hint that the story of her relationship with Sam isn\u2019t quite over: \u201cIt was an emotional connection that Sam and I had\u2026 have\u2026 I guess we\u2019ll see what happens\u2026 Buckle up for season 26!\u201d<\/p>\n Zweegers has been the victim of social media abuse since the episodes with Sam and Tristan aired, adding that she felt sexism could have something to do with the backlash.<\/p>\n \u201cI got all the wrath and I don\u2019t know why. If a guy was doing what I\u2019d done I feel like they wouldn\u2019t have,\u201d she added. \u201cI don\u2019t understand the concept of trolling but I don\u2019t get a large amount, so when I do I sort of treasure them, they get me psyched!<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve DM\u2019d some of them and we\u2019ve actually become friends.\u201d<\/p>\n Made in Chelsea is available on Channel 4.
