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.

The former Love Island star, 26, wrote: "The moment we all found out… OUR KING OF THE JUNGLE!!!"

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.

The Made in Chelsea star's time in the jungle potentially clashed with Zara taking part in the current series Strictly Come Dancing.

As a result, ITV bosses were unable to confirm Zara's 'family and friends' place in Australia in case she was still in the competition.

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.

And last night The Sun revealed he's set to make a lot of money off the back of the show.

A source said: “Sam will easily bank a million in the next year thanks to the jungle.

"Calls have already started to be made about opportunities for Sam — including his own TV series.

“There has also been a flurry of big-money deals thrown his way.

"He has always been popular among younger people thanks to his reality TV past, but now he’s known and loved by millions.

“Winning I’m A Celebrity can do wonders for careers and Sam is certainly no exception.”

Zara and Sam have been a couple since 2019.
