I understand others found it irritating too, though would be interested to see if anyone thought it was the right thing to do.
IMO Khaled and Sarah were trying to bottom it out to get over it and Thomas' interruption meant I don't think they reached a satisfactory conclusion. Khaled even told him to butt out but he kept going on. I almost wish one of them had walked off and told the other they would finish the talk later. Maybe they did (finish it later).
I can accept his heart was in the right place but... just go away!

It sounded to me like he suddenly realised from the last task that people see him as a boring fence sitter and was trying to be more outspoken, wrong time for that though

Exactly. He's still a boring fence sitter and doesn't deserve to get anywhere near the final.
…I think for me in general in that type of situation, the better thing is to allow space for those two people/friends to chat it out…it’s more a personal thing/misunderstanding between those two and him having any input at noblest wasn’t necessary and at worst could have caused a vibe of defensiveness with one or both that could have only deepened it all…
…just getting up and leaving them both would have felt more the thing to do…

It was interesting that Thomas interrupted anyone.
Usually he's just fleetingly seen but not heard.

Part of me wishes I could still legitimately ask that question myself.
He's doing the Sam Evans 'coast on having a disability and keeping quiet and finally coming alive in the last few days as a peacemaker' strategy.

Anyone who watches live feed knows that Thomas is not as quiet as BB make him out to be. He is always having fun and chatting away just none of it meets the HL show as they would rather show the showmance, Lily screaming for the 100th time and other same old stuff.
I think Tom's heart was in the right place but it wasn't received well from either. Tom should have respected Khaled's wishes as his bro and backed off when requested to let them sort things out.
Khaled is a calm, articulate person who handles conflict the best in the house. Sarah and him looked on better terms on the live feed and looks like it is all water under the bridge with them. They are friends again.

The thing which irritated me was it wasn't even a subtle hint - Khaled basically told him to leave them to it. Yet he bluntly ignored him.

He didn't want to sit on the fence anymore. He felt able to come off it short term with Sarah and Khaled as it was safe to lol.
