Zara McDermott reveals the moment Sam Thompson’s family discovered his I'm A Celeb victory | The Sun
ZARA McDermott has revealed the incredible moment Sam Thompson's family discovered his I'm a Celeb victory.
Last night Sam, 31, beat Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage to win I'm a Celebrity and become King of the Jungle.
And Zara – who was unable to fly to Australia to meet her boyfriend on the famous bridge – shared a clip on Instagram showing Sam's family and friends jumping and screaming with joy when Ant and Dec announced he'd won.
The former Love Island star, 26, wrote: "The moment we all found out… OUR KING OF THE JUNGLE!!!"
Sam's best mate Pete Wicks went Down Under in Zara's place and the two men had an emotional reunion as a shocked Sam left the jungle.
The Made in Chelsea star's time in the jungle potentially clashed with Zara taking part in the current series Strictly Come Dancing.

As a result, ITV bosses were unable to confirm Zara's 'family and friends' place in Australia in case she was still in the competition.
Meanwhile, it was reported Sam has already sparked a bidding war among TV channels after winning over the country during his time in the jungle.
And last night The Sun revealed he's set to make a lot of money off the back of the show.
A source said: “Sam will easily bank a million in the next year thanks to the jungle.
