No bushtucker trials here! Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott celebrate her 27th birthday with romantic evening at The Ritz

Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson looked every bit a happy couple as they enjoyed an evening at The Ritz in London for her 27th birthday.

The couple were all smiles as they left the chic venue after a romantic dinner, after Sam recently returned from winning I'm A Celebrity in Australia.

Former Love Island star Zara, 27, looked glamorous in a glittering black mini dress, teamed with sheer tights and stilettos.

Sam, 31, looked dapper in a gray suit as they posed in front of a giant Christmas tree.

Ahead of the luxurious night out, Zara revealed via her Instagram Stories that Sam had gifted her with a lavish Bottega Veneta bag, which costs between £1,880 and £5,550.

The former Made In Chelsea woke up his partner on her 27th birthday by serenading her with 'Happy birthday to a goose'.

Sam leaned forward in bed and sang to the former Love Island star who was dressed in gray pajamas.

Alongside the heartwarming clip, Sam wrote: 'A birthday goose! It's all happening this week.'

Elsewhere, Zara posed for a beaming photo with her Strictly Come Dancing themed cake.

Radio presenter Sam was crowned the winner of I'm A Celebrity, beating Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage, with more than 50 percent of the vote.

Zara greeted Sam at the airport with a bundle of balloons as they shared a warm hug after being apart for the past few weeks.

Sam was joined on his flight by his best friend Pete Wicks, who flew out to greet him in the jungle, while Zara stayed at the couple's London home.

She had previously explained to fans of the show that she would not be in Australia due to her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

Zara also shared pictures from birthday celebrations with her friends

'Peter is going. We've laughed and joked about this a few times,” she explained in an Instagram post.

'But in all seriousness; Sam thought I'd still be on Strictly (bless him, the optimism), so Pete cleared his entire diary for 2/3 weeks to be there.'

The clip comes after Zara recently revealed the reason she and her boyfriend Sam Thompson have not fallen victim to the famous 'Strictly curse'.

The Love Island star took part in the BBC show earlier this year with professional partner Graziano Di Prima, but were sadly eliminated during Halloween Week.

Zara admitted on the Saving Grace podcast that she “couldn't understand” how so many couples were affected by the famous curse, and that she was just “really good friends” with Graziano.

She said: 'It's really strange. The Strictly Curse is something people talk about that I can't physically understand.

'I don't understand how there is a strict curse. I have become really good friends with my partner.'

Sam wished his girlfriend Zara a happy birthday in a new heartwarming video he shared on Thursday

Zara hinted she clashed with her dance partner Graziano backstage, admitting she was 'bickering like siblings'.

She said: 'You're quickly becoming like brother and sister and you have a sort of argumentative relationship. There are also usually cameras in the room with you.

'To me this was not the environment in which something like this could ever happen.

“I think it's happened in the past, but people have affairs and relationships in the office all the time, so I think it probably doesn't happen that differently proportionately.”
