SAM Thompson’s girlfriend Zara McDermott has responded to fans accusing his I'm A Celebrity co-stars of being "unkind" to him.

Love Island alum Zara, 26, seemed unware that some campmates' patience with the Made in Chelsea star had been wearing thin.

On one notable occasion, Sam, 31, Tony Bellew, 40, and Marvin Humes volunteered to spend the night in the Misery Motel.

While Sam was over-the-moon to be teaming up with Tony, fans instantly noticed the boxer wasn't thrilled.

So, when Zara was asked in an Instagram Q&A, "Do you find it sad/hard to hear how people can struggle with Sam's personality in the jungle?" she replied honestly.

The presenter wrote, "I don't think anyone is particularly struggling with his personality at all!

"I think all of us are different and there's so many different personalities in there, but no one has said anything unkind to him or about him at all? Unless I'm watching something different?

"Sam knows he's got a lot of energy and can be full on to people sometimes but I think that's why so many people warm to him!

"It seems to me that everyone has warmed to him in the camp! I think it would be a very different camp without him there, he has created more fun and excitement for everyone."

Earlier this week, fans saw Sam jump on Tony when he realised they would be doing the task together, but one wrote on social media: "Tony Bellew secretly hates Sam."

Another said: "You can tell Tony is getting fed up."

And a third added: "Sam is going to do Tony's head in at this motel trial."

Even EastEnders star and fellow campmate Danielle Harold was thinking along the same lines.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, she said: "Tony stepped up and then Sam jumped on because he’s obsessed with Tony. Tony’s face sort of dropped a little bit when Sam volunteered."

At the age of 30, Sam was diagnosed with two neurological conditions, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and autism.

The TV star then chronicled his journey to get answers in a Channel 4 documentary, Sam Thompson: Is This ADHD?.
