Zara McDermott's Reason for Not Joining Sam Thompson in Australia

Zara McDermott's Decision

Former Love Island star Zara McDermott has revealed the 'real reason' why she won't be heading to Australia to support her boyfriend Sam Thompson on his new I'm A Celeb spin-off show, Unpacked.

Work Commitments and Filming

Zara, 27, explained in an Instagram Q&A that she is currently filming a documentary about stalking and cannot take time off at short notice. She emphasized the importance of her work with the brave women sharing their stories with her.

Scheduling Conflicts

Additionally, Zara highlighted the challenges of being on a different schedule from Sam, who starts work at 1am and goes to bed early due to the show's closed set. She expressed uncertainty about how she would fit into his routine if she were to join him in Australia.

Future Plans

While Zara mentioned a possible trip next year if Sam returns for another season, she made it clear that she also values her own career and isn't obligated to accompany him just because he is working away.

Setting the Record Straight

Not only did Zara reveal her busy schedule and work commitments, but she also clarified that Sam is hosting the spin-off show and not directly working with main presenters Ant and Dec as he had initially thought.

Zara's Professional Focus

Despite not being able to join Sam in Australia this time, Zara remains dedicated to her work and the projects she is currently involved in, including her documentary on stalking.
