Sam Thompson reveals he’s struggling to cope without his I’m A Celeb bromance as he sends Tony Bellew first voice note
IT seems that Sam Thompson is already missing his jungle bestie Tony Bellew after a mere few days apart.
The King of the Jungle has been settling back into life at home in London with girlfriend, Love Island and Strictly star Zara McDermott.
Sam took home the title having survived in the Aussie jungle for three weeks.
He beat boxer Tony Bellew, with whom he built up a strong friendship, after a two-way race during the final.
But it seems that Sam is already pining after his jungle mate.
Sharing a video to Instagram, Zara filmed her boyfriend as he paced up and down the corridor of their home recording his first ever voice note to Tony.

Zara could be heard cackling in the background as she captioned the clip alongside a series of crying with laughter emoji's: "Sam recording his first voice note for Tony."
Dressed in a casual white jumper, Sam could be heard saying down the phone: "I slept really, really well last night mate, from about 9pm to about 8am."
He then added: "Don't feel obliged to reply to this voice note with a voice note, you can text instead.
"But I will be coming up to Liverpool incredibly soon."
Sam could be seen beaming with happiness as he wandered into the kitchen while wrapping up the recording.
Sam later re-shared the clip to his own account with the message: "Let's see if he replies."
The pair enjoyed an unexpected bromance with Tony finding humour in dealing with Sam's enthusiasm and excitable nature.
Sam is likely to be delighted to be reunited with girlfriend Zara after she was unable to fly out to Australia to support him.
Instead, she cheered him on from home including with a lavish over-the-top finale viewing party.
She even surprised him with a huge balloon display upon his arrival at the airport in London.
Sam's close pal and The Only Way is Essex star Pete Wicks instead headed Down Under and was there to greet Sam at the end of the famous jungle bridge.
