I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Sam Thompson's girlfriend Zara McDermott was left feeling "furious" after the recent public vote.
The 26-year-old, who has been dating the Made In Chelsea star since 2019, took to her Instagram to slam the ITV show. Speaking to her followers, the Strictly bombshell explained that she wasn't happy that Jamie Lynn Spears had been picked over her beau Sam.
Speaking on camera after Tuesday's episode (November 21), Zara said: "Anyway, back to I'm A Celeb stuff. Like I am furious to be honest that Sam's not doing this trial. When they said Sam 'it might be you,' I was thinking 'Yes, Yes'."

She added: "British public let's just have a word, Jamie Lynn Spears. Bless her soul, crying the whole episode, so what do we do, we vote her for a trail. What are we like?"
Zara went on to tell fans that they would not be disappointed if they selected Sam for the next trial, especially when it comes to the amusement factor. She promised: "Look, I know it's probably going to be good entertainment but please, please. Sam Thompson will be better entertainment I swear."
The former Love Island star was referring to the recent public vote, that saw Sam and Jaime Lynn go head-to-head as they both found themselves at risk of the next Bushtucker trial. But it was the actress who got the most votes.
Tuesday's episode proved to be quite a showdown, after YouTuber Nella Rose and First Dates star Fred Sirieix locked horns around the campfire. The Channel 4 chef had said "I could be your dad", in what appeared to be an innocent term of phrase, but was seemingly received out of context with online star Nella becoming seriously upset.
Nella opened up that she'd taken offence to the comment because she'd spoke to Fred previously "about the fact my dad’s passed away". She told producers: "I didn't say anything about it last night because I was kind of just annoyed about it. So I slept on it … and I was just like, this is not the kind of person I want to be around."
At this point in the ITV programme, Fred was uniformed about Nella's thoughts and feelings about his comment and was baffled when she refused to respond to him. After failing to get her attention the bewildered star asked what he'd done wrong, and was met with a response he wasn't ready for.
"You know that my mum’s dead, and you know that my dad’s dead. You know that, right? I’ve come to find out that every time I wanna get creative around the fire, or I want to have something my way, my own food that I am entitled to, my way, you tend to get an attitude, right?," spat the YouTuber.
Nella said: "I don't care how you said it to me, it’s disrespectful and I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to be around you. I only allow people to disrespect me once. You hurt my feelings. I was very upset… you keep trying to speak to me when I don’t want to speak to you."
The conversation didn't end on good terms with Nella requesting they just stay away from one another for the remainder of the show, she told Fred: "I would rather stay away from you, I don’t want to eat your food, I don’t want to talk to you. We can just live, you live on that side, I live on this side." Apologising profusely, Fred responded: "I made a mistake and I said something and I offended you, I’m really sorry. I’m really sorry you feel like this."
I'm A Celebrity airs nightly at 9pm on ITV and ITVX
