The Panic Attack That Almost Ended Sam Thompson’s Jungle Journey
Reality TV star Sam Thompson recently revealed that he almost dropped out of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! due to a secret health scare. Speaking on his Staying Relevant podcast with his best friend Pete Wicks, Sam disclosed that he had a “full-blown” panic attack on the first day of the show. The sudden realization of what they were about to endure hit him hard, causing him to consider leaving the jungle. However, he managed to push through and ultimately won the hearts of viewers.
A Shocking Start to the Adventure
Describing his experience, Sam said, “I went in really guns blazing, I was so excited… and then suddenly it hit me what we were doing and I literally sat on my bed and went ‘oh my god’.” He experienced symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, and nausea, which made him contemplate seeking medical help. Eventually, Sam acclimatized to the jungle environment and found solace in the kindness of his fellow contestants.
Back to Work and Birthday Celebrations
Since returning from the Australian bush, Sam has been busy with work and celebrating his girlfriend Zara McDermott’s birthday. The couple reunited after his time on the reality show, and Sam marked the occasion by gifting her a luxurious designer bag worth £3k. Zara, who previously participated in Strictly Come Dancing, shared her appreciation for the thoughtful present on Instagram. Despite the emerging bromance between Sam and his campmate Teddy T, Zara playfully reminded him to focus on her birthday.
Sam’s Surprise Hosting Debut
In a surprising turn of events, Sam made his debut as a host on This Morning. Joining Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle, he took part in the Spin to Win competition and received positive feedback from fans. Social media users expressed their excitement at the prospect of Sam becoming a regular host on the show. It seems that Sam’s infectious energy and enthusiasm resonated with viewers.
Sam’s journey on I’m A Celebrity was not without its challenges, but he ultimately triumphed and won the competition. Now, he’s back in action and ready to take on new opportunities in the entertainment industry.
