Zara and Sam to 'crack America'

If anyone has achieved their goals in 2023, it's power couple Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott.

Zara, 26, wowed viewers when she showed off her dance moves on this year's Strictly Come Dancing, while 31-year-old Sam was crowned King of the Jungle on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Now, the pair, whose love life originally played out on screen during reality show Made In Chelsea, hope to make the most of their joint star power- and a source exclusively reveals to new that includes. exciting opportunities across the pond.

"Sam's profile has catapulted since appearing on I'm A Celeb and winning the competition was the cherry on top," they tell us. "Plus, Zara's Strictly stint means they are both on the way up. Their real dream though is to crack America."

Sam and Zara - who started dating in 2019 after meeting through Instagram - have already been open about their ambitions and what they would like to achieve.

The duo may have had an incredibly successful three months on primetime TV, but the source tells us this could just be the beginning. "They want to start doing things as a couple as well as separately, there are even talks of them doing This Morning," the source continued. "They're so in love and sweet, the public love them and they're set to be the next power couple."
