Zara McDermott hits back at I'm A Celebrity's Sam Thompson after cruel snub

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott has taken sweet revenge on boyfriend and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here star Sam Thompson, as she posed seductively with Strictly's professional dancers.

Wearing a fitted brown PVC dress that showed off her enviable curves, Zara, 26, stood in the middle of both Gorka Marquez and Neil Jones while in Blackpool for the BBC dancing show. Taking to social media, Zara posted a number of pictures and captioned the post saying "Blackpool dump." And while on its own, it appears to be an innocent comment this comes after Zara shared with fans that she was "not happy" with Sam's snub after he honoured pal Pete Wicks during last night's trial.

Sam and Pete have been inseparable since they met on Celebs Go Dating five years ago and they also co-host a podcast called Staying Relevant. During the Bushtucker trial, viewers and Zara heard him say: "Do it for Pete." And immediately Zara took offence and made her feelings known on Instagram. She wrote: "Is he saying 'Do it for Pete?' Where's 'Do it for Zara?' Is he alright? I'm really not happy with [this]!"

And speaking about a separate incident where she felt snubbed by the excitable star, she told Hits Radio Breakfast show host Fleur East: "When I left Strictly I was like, 'Shall I pack my case?' and he went, 'Oh no it’s already been arranged, Pete is coming!' When I suggested maybe Pete and I could both go, he said, 'No, just Pete!' Maybe I can get Pete to take a cardboard cut-out of me," she joked, before adding: "You know what? It’s fine, absolutely fine."

She added: "I’ve got all the time in the world to live with him and see him. He want’s Pete at the end of that bridge and I respect it.” And it seem fans also agree with Sam's decision. One person took to social media and wrote: "Can’t break the bromance!” And another joked: “Pete and Sam are the true love story.” As yet, Zara has not made her feelings known about Sam's accidental kiss with campmate Jamie Lynn Spears after the pair celebrated a win for their team.

Jamie Lynn jumped in and realised that she had accidentally kissed somebody. She asked: "Did I kiss anybody? I have repellent on my lips!" Sam then confessed that she had kissed him and Jamie Lynn then said: "I'll have to explain that to my husband!" Sam's appeal among viewers since joining the ITV show has not been a steady one as some find him a little too excitable and some have branded him "irritating."

One person wrote: "I thought Sam was going to be annoying. I was right. #ImACeleb." Another added: "Not even a hour and I'm done with Sam, so f****** annoying." And those who remembered him from Made In Chelsea claim he hasn't changed. Another person penned: "Sam was so annoying in Made in Chelsea and nothing has changed." While another said: "Sam Thompson is such an attention seeking man-child."
