Meet the wholesome and supportive partners of the I’m A Celebrity 2023 campmates
If I don’t have love like Tony Bellew and his wife then I don’t want it
I’m A Celebrity 2023 is back in full swing and while we get to see the contestants rough it up in an Australian jungle, there is a lot we still don’t know about them. Many of them have given up their lavish and boujie lifestyles to star on I’m A Celebrity 2023 and some have left behind their partners, all with the hopes of being named the King or Queen of the Jungle.
A lot of the I’m A Celebrity 2023 campmates are spending their time sat around the campfire opening up about their partners and loved ones back home, giving viewers a new insight into their love lives. Unfortunately there seems to be no hope for a jungle romance this year as apart from three of them, all of the I’m A Celebrity 2023 cast are either married or have long term partners. Here are all the partners of the I’m A Celebrity 2023 cast:
Sam Thompson
Relationship status: In a relationship
Sam Thompson is in a relationship with former Love Island Contestant Zara McDermott. Sam and Zara have been together for four years now but it hasn’t exactly been a smooth ride with a highly publicised cheating scandal rocking their relationship in 2020. In September 2020, it was announced Sam and Zara had called it quits after 16 months together and it was reported Zara had cheated on Sam with “someone in the music industry”, while she was part of The X Factor: Celebrity – which was then later claimed to be music boss, Brahim Fouradi. After a series of cringy Instagram posts from Zara begging for Sam to take her back and that messy Made in Chelsea episode, the pair reunited and now live together and have two cats.
