Sam Thompson was crowned the 2023 winner of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, on Sunday, 10 November, and he's clearly still reeling at the amount of support that he's received.<\/p>\n

The 31 year old former Made in Chelsea star won over the affections of I'm A Celeb viewers, as well as his campmates, and he described being crowned King of the Jungle as a "dream come true". <\/p>\n

On Monday, 11 November, Sam appeared on ITV's Lorraine via video link, where he got emotional watching a special message from his girlfriend, Zara McDermott, 26, who is waiting for him back in London.<\/p>\n

In the video, Zara could be seen wearing her pyjamas as she sat on the bed that she shares with Sam. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The former Love Island star said: "I don't think that the word 'proud' even cuts it anymore, because the way you carried yourself in that jungle, the way you made everyone feel so comfortable…You brought such a sparkle to that camp.<\/p>\n

"I've never met anyone like you before. You are so beautifully unique and you are incredible, and I love you literally so much."<\/p>\n

She ended her message, saying: "I cannot wait to have you back right here," as she patted his side of their bed. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The camera then cut back to Sam, as he shared his sweet reaction to his girlfriend of five years' message. <\/p>\n

Looking visibly touched and emotional, Sam struggled to get his words out, before saying: "That's the sweetest thing.<\/p>\n

"I mean, she's sent me many, many sweet messages, but when you see something like that… That's my little goose.<\/p>\n

"I miss her so much and I can't wait to get home to her."<\/p>\n

He revealed he knows Zara has been sleeping on 'his side' of the bed, whilst he's been in the Australian jungle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sam went on to say: "I'm so lucky to have her in my life."<\/p>\n

He hilariously shared that "so many people" have asked him how he snared Zara, as he admitted: "I don't know.<\/p>\n

"I still sometimes wake up and wonder if she's still there, like 'is it a dream?'"<\/p>\n

Sam also spoke about his reaction to a video posted by Zara which captured the moment she, along with Sam's family and friends, found out he had been crowned King of the Jungle, as he said he was so lucky to receive all of the support that he has.<\/p>\n

Due to previous work commitments, Zara didn't fly out to Australia to meet Sam at the end of the famous I'm A Celeb bridge, with his best pal, former TOWIE star Pete Wicks, 35, going in her place.<\/p>\n
