I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! winner Sam Thompson and girlfriend Zara McDermott had an emotional reunion at the airport after he touched down from Australia.
Zara, 26, was there to greet Sam, 31, at London's Heathrow Airport on Wednesday, 13 December after several weeks apart and they packed on the PDA – hugging and kissing.
Proud girlfriend Zara even brought along balloons to greet her boyfriend, who became tearful as they reunited after his jungle win.
Former Love Islander Zara also hugged Pete Wicks, who had gone to Australia to support his best friend Sam while he was in the jungle.
Zara cut a casual figure in black leggings and a cream hoodie, paired with an oversized teddy coat and chunky New Balance trainers. The Strictly star wore minimal make-up with her hair tied back in a high ponytail and large gold earrings.
Meanwhile Sam also sported a cream hoodie, with khaki combat trousers and a matching baseball cap, worn backwards. TOWIE's Pete opted for black Adidas jogging bottoms and a denim jacket, paired with a black beanie hat and tinted glasses.
Sam couldn't hide his excitement as he cuddled and kissed Zara in the airport, with the pair having spent over four weeks apart. Zara was unable to jet to Australia to support Sam due to work commitments.
Sam was crowned King of the Jungle on Sunday, 10 December after beating fellow finalists Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage and receiving the most public votes.
He's been celebrating his win ever since, and finally returned to social media on Tuesday (12 December) to thank I'm A Celebrity fans ahead of his flight home from Brisbane Airport.
"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 penned.
He added: "You made a young boys dream (now slightly older) come true, and I will never ever forget that."
He went on to say he "didn't know what to expect" when he entered the jungle and was "a bit nervous" but he stopped worrying on "day 2".
Sam also said: "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!!! Never in my wildest dreams, did I expect to be crowned King of the Jungle, or that I'd get to do CYCLONE! Every time Ant and Dec walked into camp, I convinced myself that it was going to be me that went next."
He signed off his post by saying: "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."
