I’m A Celeb star Sam Thompson’s girlfriend Zara McDermott reveals surprise plan to see him suffer in the jungle
SAM Thompson’s loved ones desperately want him to suffer Bushtucker Trials on I’m A Celeb – and were furious he lost out to Jamie Lynn Spears.
The 31-year-old’s girlfriend Zara McDermott has told The Sun she and his family are voting for him “every night”.
It almost worked too, after Sam was told he “might” face Climb of Cruelty after landing in the bottom two.
Instead, Jamie got the highest number of votes – and will tonight be high above the jungle treetops searching for stars.
“I can’t wait for Sam to be voted to do a trial”, Zara told us.
“Me, Louise and the rest of the family will be voting for him every night.
“He’ll be so determined not to let the team down that I know he’ll smash it.”
She had told fans on Instagram last night: “I am furious Sam isn’t doing this trial.
“British public.. Jamie Lynn Spears, bless her soul, cries all episode and we vote her to do the trial.
“She will be entertaining, but please. Sam Thompson will be better entertainment, I swear.”
Zara – who recently starred on Strictly – is supporting her boyfriend Sam from their home in Chelsea, London.
He flew out to Australia earlier this month and is currently in camp alongside the likes of politician Nigel Farage, Britney Spears‘ sister Jamie Lynn and JLS singer Marvin Humes.
Sam has already had fans in hysterics by confessing to being a JLS superfan to Marvin and learning the band’s dance moves.
He also cheered up tearful Jamie Lynn who was crying for her children by likening it to him missing his cats.
Zara added: “We’re only three episodes in but I already couldn’t be prouder.”
“He always puts others before himself and that’s really coming through.
“I’m predicting a bromance with him and Marvin! He’s going to be so happy when he gets out and sees all the memes with him as the fifth member of JLS!”
