I'm A Celebrity's Sam Thompson Opens Up About Relationship Strain Ahead of Jungle Debut

Sam Thompson prepares for his jungle adventure

Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson, 31, is set to join this year's I'm a Celebrity lineup. As he gets ready to head into the Australian jungle, he has revealed the strain it has put on his relationship with girlfriend Zara McDermott.

Conflicting schedules keep the couple apart

Sam and Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott, 26, have been dating since 2019 and live together in Chelsea. However, overlapping schedules, with Zara's participation in Strictly, means that the couple will spend another month apart.

A bittersweet experience

Speaking about their time apart, Sam said, "Obviously it is a strain for anyone's heartstrings. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to miss my girlfriend so much. I already do miss her. But having said that, what an amazing experience."

Two rival shows

Sam also mentioned that there was a potential for their shows to overlap, saying, "I can't speak to Zara, but I know she thinks the same thing. I can't believe that we even had two rival shows."
