I'M A Celeb star Sam Thompson's girlfriend Zara McDermott has broken her silence and made a huge demand ahead of his jungle stint.
The Made In Chelsea favourite, 31, is one of the 12 famous faces taking part in this year's series of the ITV show.
Love Island star Zara, 26, later confirmed the news with a sweet post on Instagram.
Sharing a black and white snap of them smiling, Zara said: "HES GONE DOWN UNDER !!! 🦘🇦🇺🌏 the rumours were true, I am so proud of you and so excited for you and for this adventure.
"I cannot wait to watch you every single night and be supporting you every step of the way. ❤️
"p.s. can we all please vote for Sam to do one of the eating challenges??

"I think it would make great entertainment considering how squeamish he is 😂😅."
Sam's best pal Pete Wicks wrote a black love heart emoji in the comments section.
X Factor star Fleur East added: "Ha ha!!! All over it!!"
Last month The Sun revealed Sam is set to appear on the show, while Zara recently appeared on BBC's Strictly.

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.”
Earlier this month Sam fuelled rumours that he was heading out to the jungle after he disappeared from his podcast.
He failed to appear alongside Pete Wicks on their podcast Staying Relevant.
When Sam arrived Down Under, he admitted Zara is "thrilled" he's gone.
When asked about saying goodbye to Strictly Come Dancing and Love Island star Zara he told The Sun: "She's probably happy!
"I think the last thing she said to me is 'I can't wait to starfish in the bed' - no I tell you what she said, she said 'I get to put the heating on as high as I want without you having a go at me'."
Sam confessed to having a fear of spiders and snakes, saying: "I'd be lying if I said I liked them! The smaller they are the worse they are! I had to jump out of a plane once and I cried so that's a good start."
Sam shot to fame in 2013 when he joined the cast of Made In Chelsea.
He's also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Celebs Go Dating, I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp, and Love Island: Aftersun.
Sam and Zara started dating in 2019, but briefly split a year later when it was found out that she cheated on him with music boss Brahim Fouradi.
