Zara McDermott has mocked her boyfriendSam Thompson, just one day after he entered theI\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here! jungle. <\/p>\n

31 year old Sam,who conquered his fear of heights during the show\u2019s revamped Walk The Plank challenge, got viewers talking after they noticed that the Made In Chelsea star appears to love hugs after \u201cthrowing\u201d himself at his other campmates when greeting them. <\/p>\n

In response, Sam\u2019s girlfriend, formerLove Island star Zara, has taken to social media to poke fun at the TV personality\u2019s love of giving hugs. <\/p>\n

Sharing a meme on Instagram, Zara shared a GIF which showed Michael Scott from the US Office excitedly hugging Jim Halpert alongside the caption: \u201cSam at every possible opportunity."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Zara isn\u2019t the only one to make light of Sam\u2019s habit, with social media users taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, to point out his interactions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way Sam keeps throwing himself to hug someone is just brilliant #ImACelebrity,\u201d wrote one user. \u201cWhy are all of Sam\u2019s hugs so aggressive #ImACelebrity,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

A third wrote: \u201cFred looks terrified every time Sam hugs him He does throw himself at him though #ImACelebrity."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prior to entering the jungle,Sam opened up about his decision to sign up for the show and revealed that Zara, who recently competed in Strictly Come Dancing, would be rooting for him at home while he was in camp – the same as he did for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is really happy for me and proud,\u201d he told OK!<\/b>. \u201cShe had an amazing time on Strictly and she tried to get as far as she possibly could. I\u2019m going to miss my girlfriend so much. I will also miss my best mate, Pete Wicks. He has already said, \u2018People will either love or hate you!\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

Sam also explained that his former Made In Chelsea co-stars would be shocked to find out that he was entering the jungle. \u201cI think they will think, \u2018How did he get on that?\u2019\u201d he joked. \u201cThey are going to be surprised!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in an interview withThe Sun the TV star revealed thatgoing to Australia and being away from Zara would be a \u201cstrain\u201d for him. <\/p>\n

\u201cObviously it is a strain for anyone's heartstrings. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to miss my girlfriend so much. I already do miss her. But having said that, what an amazing experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
