Where's Zara?
Fans of I'm A Celebrity have been left puzzled after noticing that one celebrity's partner was missing from the camp's surprise reunions. The remaining five celebrities had the opportunity to see their loved ones in an emotional segment on Friday night.
Sam's Surprise Visit
Sam Thompson, known for his appearance on Made In Chelsea, was surprised by his best friend, Towie star Pete Wicks. However, viewers couldn't help but wonder where Sam's girlfriend, Zara McDermott, was during the reunion.
Twitter Confusion
Confused fans took to Twitter to express their bewilderment. One viewer asked, "Where is Zara!?" while another questioned why Sam didn't receive a visit from his girlfriend. The absence of Zara during the reunion left fans curious.
A Scheduling Conflict
The reason for Zara's absence becomes clear when considering her involvement in this year's Strictly Come Dancing. Zara had signed up for the show, while Sam secretly agreed to participate in I'm A Celebrity. To avoid any potential spoilers, ITV couldn't confirm Zara's place in Australia in case she made it to the Strictly final, which airs this Sunday.
Pete Steps In
As a result, Sam's best friend Pete was given the opportunity to fly to Australia and meet him on the bridge when he leaves the camp. Unfortunately for Zara, she was eliminated from Strictly at the end of October, too late to join Sam.
Zara's Perspective
Zara expressed her understanding of the situation during an interview on Hits Radio. She mentioned that she had suggested both her and Pete going to meet Sam but was told that only Pete would be able to make the trip. Zara remains supportive and is excited to see the heartfelt reunion between Sam and Pete.
Overall, fans of I'm A Celebrity were left wondering about the absence of Sam Thompson's girlfriend, Zara McDermott, during the surprise reunions. However, the scheduling conflict with Strictly Come Dancing meant that Zara couldn't be present, and Sam's best friend Pete Wicks stepped in to meet him instead.
