Sam Thompson appears to be pining for girlfriend Zara McDermott as he jokingly admitted to 'lying' to her. The presenter and radio star is currently out in Australia for this year's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here.

The ITV reality show's reigning King of the Jungle isn't back Down Under as a campmate but this time as a co-host on the new spin-off show, I'm A Celebrity...

Unpacked, alongside Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers. The first show aired on Sunday night (November 17), around a week after Sam and co touched down in Brisbane, following the main show's series opener, hosted by usual duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly and has since continued with first looks at the bushtucker trials, celebrity guests and also interviews with the main hosts themselves.
