Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott have sparked engagement rumours after fans spotted what they think might be a huge clue on Instagram.
It’s been a BIG year for Sam, who was recently crowned King of the Jungle after winning this year’s I’m a Celeb.
Following his victory, Sam said he was ‘lucky’ to have girlfriend Zara in his life, having ‘missed her so much’ while he was on the reality show.

While documentary-maker Zara wasn’t there to greet him as he crossed the bridge, she recorded a heartfelt congratulatory message that was played during his interview with Lorraine Kelly.
"I don't think the word proud even cuts it anymore," she said in the clip.
"The way you carried yourself in that jungle and made everyone feel so comfortable, you brought such a sparkle to that camp.
"I've never, never met anyone like you before. I love you so much and can't wait to have you back."
Watching the pre-recorded video, Sam became emotional and said: "That's the sweetest thing, when you see something like that, that's my little goose!
"I miss her so much. I know she has been sleeping on my side every night and I am so lucky to have her in my life – I have so many people asking 'how did you do that?' and I don’t know.
"Sometimes I wake up to check she’s still there and is it a dream and luckily it’s not! I am so lucky to have her in my life."
Thankfully, the couple were eventually reunited and were able to enjoy the festive period together - with Sam posting an adorable snap on Instagram.
“Beautiful day with a beautiful person,” he captioned the pic, which showed the pair embracing and smiling at the camera.
Many fans said the picture was ‘gorgeous’ and that the duo looked ‘beautiful’, but some others honed in on a particular detail.
“Her ring finger is covered by her hand,” one commented.
Someone else speculated: “Deffo hidden engagement photo...”
A third added with a wink: “Engagement news!!”
And a fourth added: “Was absolutely certain this was a engagement announcement for a second.”
A number of followers may not have seen the same signs, but were still keen to see Sam put a ring on it one day...
One person begged: “Awwwwwww, buy that ring fella!”
Another said: “This photo would be even more amazing, if your beautiful goose had a diamond on her finger, what are you waiting for.”
Someone else wrote: “I hope to hear engagement news from these two soon.”
