Zara McDermott ‘snubbed’ for All Stars appearance following split from Sam Thompson

Following the sudden split between Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson, and considering her Love Island roots, you might be expecting her to make a last minute appearance on All Stars next week but prepare to be disappointed.

As incredible as it would be if Zara appeared as a bombshell in the All Stars villa, it seems bosses at ITV have completely “ruled out” asking her to join the show, due to Sam’s “connections at ITV.”

A source told The Sun: “A gorgeous former Islander like Zara suddenly becoming single just before All Stars would have usually had bookers running straight to the phone.

“But that move was immediately ruled out because of Sam’s connections at ITV. After winning I’m A Celebrity in 2023 he’s become part of the presenting stable across This Morning and on the jungle spin-off show.

“So there’s just no chance the bosses would want to upset him by signing her, should Zara spill any beans on their break-up. She’s very focussed on her documentary work with the BBC so would have been unlikely to say yes anyway, but certainly she will not be approached, full stop.”

An ITV spokeswoman said: “Any names suggested are speculation until our line-up is officially announced.”

It was reported Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott had split on New Year’s Day, with the Mail Online claiming: “Sam and Zara have ended their relationship. It’s been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways, they still care and have a lot of love for each other.

“But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025.”
