I’m a Celeb winner Sam Thompson reunited with Zara McDermott after she surprised him with balloons at the airport
SAM Thompson passionately kissed his girlfriend Zara McDermott as they reunited at Heathrow airport after his I'm A Celebrity win.
The Made In Chelsea star, who beat boxer Tony Bellew to the top spot on this year's ITV series, looked over the moon to be back with his other half after over a month away from her.
Zara was unable to fly over to Australia to support Sam during his jungle stint, so his best pal Pete Wicks was sent Down Under instead.
The Love Island legend pulled out all the stops to make sure that their reunion was extra special.
The reality favourite, who recently took part in BBC's Strictly, was ready waiting for her man with a bunch of colourful balloons.
One said "welcome home", while another stated "I love you."

Zara opted for a very casual outfit.
The star looked incredible in a teddy coat, white hoodie and grey leggings.
Meanwhile Sam opted for a matching hoodie, khaki trousers and a green baseball hat.
Towie's Pete also made an appearance as Zara welcomed the pair back to the UK.
Just yesterday Sam returned to social media after his huge win.
Sam said on Instagram: "I’M COMING HOME!!!! I only just got my phone back this morning, and I don’t quite know where to begin, but I want to start first of all by saying thank you.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, there aren’t quite the words to describe how grateful I am for each and everyone of you who supported me during my time in the jungle."
Sam went on to explain how winning the show was a "dream", gushing: "You made a young boys dream (now slightly older) come true, and I will never ever forget that.
"When I first stepped foot in that jungle, I didn’t know what to expect, and I was a bit nervous about whether I was going to make myself look like a d**k as I know I’m a bit full on especially when there’s a lot of people and energy around at all times."
He continued: "I had no idea of all the support, love and kindness that you all showed me, and reading some of your comments and messages, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude!!!
"Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!!! I have more people to thank, and a couple more soppy posts, but my first thank you had to be to all of you. I Love you."
