As a die-hard fan of Sam Thompson, I can’t help but feel a mix of admiration and concern for this remarkable man. The sheer dedication he shows to his craft is nothing short of inspiring. From being crowned King of the Jungle to securing his dream presenting gig on I’m A Celebrity Unpacked, Sam has proven time and again that he’s a force to be reckoned with.


Sam Thompson openly stated that, upon getting his latest job on the I’m A Celebrity follow-up program, he immediately made an appointment with the doctor.

Previously from Made in Chelsea and now aged 32, who was titled “King of the Jungle” during the last season of the popular ITV program, has traveled back to Australia to be part of the presenting crew for I’m A Celebrity Unpacked once more.

Prior to boarding his flight, Sam disclosed that he had gone to see a doctor in order to get some sleeping pills. This was necessary because of the challenging time difference between Australia and the UK, which had caused disruptions in his schedule.

In collaboration with Joel Dommett and Kemi Rogers, the program is scheduled for filming during UK time, which means our host will be retiring at 4 PM and rising again at midnight to kick off his workday.

On the podcast “Staying Relevant with Pete Wicks”, Sam shared that the timing can be challenging since they’re broadcasting from the UK, which means he goes to sleep at 4 PM and wakes up at midnight in Australia. That’s definitely going to keep things interesting!

Pete mentioned, “You struggle to handle changes, and what Sam told me a week ago was something like, ‘I recently visited the doctor and received 24 sleeping pills.’

He continued: ‘That was the first thing you did, he literally came out of the meeting with ITV or off the phone and went straight to the doctor and said “I need pills”.’

Last year, Sam was widely admired for his endless enthusiasm, although he didn’t specify the exact timing, it’s generally thought that ITV executives secured his services not long after his win.

On Sunday, he and his fellow hosts, Joel and Kemi, touched down at Brisbane Airport. Their flight had nearly been rerouted to Sydney because of a severe thunderstorm that posed a risk to their safe arrival.

Sam shared his plans for his time in Australia, stating: “I aim to build a strong bond with Joel during my stay here, hoping to consider him like my own brother.

I’m actively seeking out Ant and Dec, hoping to find out where they’re lodging so I can possibly spend time with them. I aim to establish a lifelong friendship with them.

Here’s my take on paraphrasing the sentence:

The reality TV personality, aged 36, seems to have an excellent excuse for a journey to Australia since his girlfriend, Maura Higgins, 33, might also be going there, as rumors suggest. This could mean that both of them might participate in the jungle-themed show.

When queried about who he’d miss the most, Sam replied: “I suspect it would be Zara, as Pete seems incredibly tense over Strictly. Honestly, I’ve never witnessed anyone so anxious about their dancing, given he’s mastering an entirely novel ability.

‘I’ve got to say my girlfriend, I don’t want to get in trouble!

As Pete hinted, if his time on Strictly comes to an end, he might drop by for a visit! It means we could be in for another exciting bridge reunion.

It appears that Pete may have acknowledged his relationship with the Irish Love Island celebrity, as they were spotted sharing a kiss outside an eatery in East London not too long ago.

There had been whispers that Pete was romantically linked with his dance partner Jowita Przystal, aged 30, which later gave way to stories claiming he was seen kissing Maura at an exclusive bar during the Pride of Britain awards event.

It’s not unexpected that Pete might show up in Australia since the two have been connected for more than a year, and he could be there to back Maura.
