MADE In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson is set to appear on I’m A Celebrity — as girlfriend Zara McDermott dances on rival Strictly.

Sources say the reality TV favourite’s personality will be a hit in the jungle and could turn the pair into superstars.

Sam is expected to fly out to Australia for the series later this year as Zara continues to battle it out for the Glitterball Trophy with pro partner Graziano Di Prima.

Our source said: “Sam is a great signing because he has a huge fan base and a funny, self-deprecating personality.

“It will be difficult if Zara is still on Strictly as she will be too busy to head out to the jungle to support him.

"While it might put a bit of pressure on their relationship, it’s a huge year for them.”

Sam, who joined the toff series in 2013, now presents E4’s Reality News with Towie’s Pete Wicks.

The Sun on Sunday previously revealed jockey Frankie Dettori, This Morning host Josie Gibson, ex-EastEnders star Danielle Harold and rapper Flavor Flav are also in the I’m A Celeb line-up.

ITV said: “Any names suggested are speculation.”
