The timing of the show could not be worse given the pair have ended their romance with Sam having already upped sticks and moved out of the couple’s shared home.
In scenes set to air over the next few weeks, the former couple will be guest stars on the popular Midnight Gameshow sketch.
The sketch sees the comedian wake up famous faces in the middle of their night at their homes in order to take part in a series of games.
A trailer for the new show sees Michael waking up an unsuspecting Sam and Zara as they slept in bed together.
Wearing only his underwear, Sam lept up in the bed as he shouted: “What the hell?”
Looking equally as shocked, Zara, who was dressed in black pyjamas, looked on open-mouthed.
A source previously told The Sun about how the pair could be left cringing when it comes to watching the scenes back.
A source said: “Zara and Sam were really happy and in love when they were surprised at home by Michael for his Midnight Gameshow.
“But now they’ve broken up it’s going to be rather awkward if the BBC chooses to air it.
“Obviously Zara and Sam enjoyed it so they are not kicking up a stink. But it is rather embarrassing to think they’re going to have to watch themselves back on telly when they were still together.
“Their skit was really funny and they had such a great time with Michael so it would be a shame for it to be canned.
“Plus the new series starts really soon, so to cut it out would be a nightmare.
“Zara and Sam are having to sit tight and wait to find out. If the BBC does air it, you can guarantee they won’t be tuning in.”
