ZARA McDermott has revealed the incredible moment Sam Thompson's family discovered his I'm a Celeb victory. <\/p>\n
Last night Sam, 31, beat Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage to win I'm a Celebrity and become King of the Jungle. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
And Zara – who was unable to fly to Australia to meet her boyfriend on the famous bridge – shared a clip on Instagram showing Sam's family and friends jumping and screaming with joy when Ant and Dec announced he'd won. <\/p>\n
The former Love Island star, 26, wrote: "The moment we all found out\u2026 OUR KING OF THE JUNGLE!!!"<\/p>\n
Sam's best mate Pete Wicks went Down Under in Zara's place and the two men had an emotional reunion as a shocked Sam left the jungle. <\/p>\n
The Made in Chelsea star's time in the jungle potentially clashed with Zara taking part in the current series Strictly Come Dancing.<\/p>\n
As a result, ITV bosses were unable to confirm Zara's 'family and friends' place in\u00a0Australia\u00a0in case she was still in the competition.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, it was reported Sam has already sparked a bidding war among TV channels after winning over the country during his time in the jungle. <\/p>\n And last night The Sun revealed he's set to make a lot of money off the back of the show. <\/p>\n A source said: \u201cSam will easily bank a million in the next year thanks to the jungle.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Calls have already started to be made about opportunities for Sam \u2014 including his own TV series.<\/p>\n \u201cThere has also been a flurry of big-money deals thrown his way.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n "He has always been popular among younger people thanks to his\u00a0reality TV\u00a0past, but now he\u2019s known and loved by millions.<\/p>\n \u201cWinning I\u2019m A Celebrity\u00a0can do wonders for careers and Sam is certainly no exception.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>JUNGLE JAPES <\/span><\/p>\n
