Sam Thompson’s girlfriend speaks out as fans complain Tony Bellew was ‘rude

I’m A Celeb: Jamie Lynn kisses Sam Thompson after celebration

I’m A Celebrity favourite Sam Thompson’s girlfriend, Zara McDermott, has addressed viewers’ complaints that Tony Bellew was “rude” to him in the jungle.

Last night, Sam, along with Tony and Marvin Humes, volunteered to sleep in the Misery Motel.

While Sam appeared to be delighted to be partnered up with Tony, it didn’t seem as if the feelings were mutual, according to fans.

After viewers watched as Sam jumped on Tony when he realised they would be sharing the task, one wrote on Twitter: “Tony Bellew secretly hates Sam.”

While another said: “You can tell Tony is getting fed up.” while a third commented: “Sam is going to do Tony’s head in at this motel trial.”

Even EastEnders star and fellow campmate Danielle Harold echoed the sentiment.

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.”

It also didn’t help that when Sam, 31, was nominated Camp Leader by the public, Tony, 40, didn’t appear to be happy for him.

Once he was announced as leader, Zara, 26, took to Instagram to gush to her 1.8 million followers: “CAMP LEADER how do you think this is going to go? Ps he will be so so grateful for your votes thank you on behalf #teamSam.”

one follower replied: “So so happy! I don’t like the way Tony talks about him though.”

However, Zara seemingly tried to temper any talk of a rift.

“Honestly, Tony can do no wrong in Sam’s eyes. Plus he’s far more polite than @p_wicks,” she added jokingly, referencing her partner’s friendship with Pete Wicks.

One campmate experts say was definitely not happy with Sam being made leader, is Nigel Farage.

The politician was left “completely stunned” as the Made In Chelsea reality star was voted camp leader by the public, according to body language expert Darren Stanton.

The expert said the former UKIP leader, who was reportedly paid £1.5 million to appear on the ITV jungle show, displayed jealousy in his body language the moment Sam was handed the title.

“Nigel appeared completely stunned as Sam was made camp leader,” said Darren. “He flashed a surprised expression and lowered his head, which was as though to say what the hell?

“He was expecting or wanted to be made camp leader himself. That was the first thing I noticed straight away,” he added to Betfair Bingo. “Nigel wasn’t happy that Sam was made leader.”
