Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott have been inseparable since he returned from Australia, where he was crowned the winner of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 2023.
The former Made in Chelsea star, 31, took to Instagram on Tuesday to wish his girlfriend a happy 27th birthday with a sweet video of them snuggling up in bed.
In the clip, Sam is seen topless and holding Zara close to him as he sings "Happy birthday to you" and kisses her cheek.
He then calls her his "goose" and says "It's all happening this week" as he refers to his triumphant exit from the jungle on Sunday night.
Zara looks delighted as she smiles and thanks him for the gesture, wearing a grey pyjama set and a gold necklace.
Sam captioned the post: "A birthday goose! It's all happening this week. Love you @zara_mcdermott."
Zara replied: "Love you more than anything in the world."
The couple's fans and friends also commented on the post, with many wishing Zara a happy birthday and congratulating Sam on his I'm A Celebrity victory.
Sam beat former boxer Tony Bellew and former politician Nigel Farage in the final, earning more than 50 per cent of the public votes.
He was greeted by his best friend and podcast co-host Pete Wicks at the end of the bridge, as Zara had to stay in the UK due to her commitments on Strictly Come Dancing.
Zara, who rose to fame on Love Island, was eliminated from the BBC dance show in Halloween week with her partner Graziano Di Prima.
She explained that Sam had arranged for Pete to fly to Australia before he knew she would be out of Strictly, and joked that she could send a cardboard cut-out of herself instead.
She also said she respected Sam's decision to have Pete by his side, and that she had "all the time in the world" to be with him.
Zara was waiting for Sam at the airport with a bunch of balloons and a sign that read "Welcome home my king".
The pair shared a passionate kiss and a hug as they reunited after weeks apart.
They have been dating since 2019 and have overcome a cheating scandal earlier this year, when Zara admitted to being unfaithful to Sam during their relationship.
They have since reconciled and Sam has hinted that he might propose to Zara in the near future.
