The first campmate on I’m A Celebrity has seemingly been revealed, if rumours are to be believed.

According to reports, Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson is set to head Down Under to take part in the hit ITV reality show.

Sam Thomspon to appear on I’m A Celebrity 2023?

Speaking to the publication, the source said: “Sam is a great signing because he has a huge fan base and a funny, self-deprecating personality.

“It will be difficult if Zara is still on Strictly as she will be too busy to head out to the jungle to support him,” they then continued.

“While it might put a bit of pressure on their relationship, it’s a huge year for them,” they then added.

ED! has contacted ITV for comment.
