I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! champ, Sam Thompson, risked everything moments after winning the show.
Pete Wicks revealed how Sam ignored a vital rule about not jumping on the famous unsteady bridge upon his exit from the ITV jungle. Pete, who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex, supported Sam while in Australia, and also unveiled that the excited Made In Chelsea star didn't stick to strict instructions about the bridge.
Despite being warned not to jump due to the bridge being high and unstable, an overjoyed Sam couldn't help himself. Pete shared on their Staying Relevant podcast: "Yeah, what the funniest part of that is before you get a producer who will have said to Sam on the other end of the bridge, Sam would have been told to stand on a star and Pete is going to come and meet you. Do not JUMP."
Pete also recalled a chat he had with a show producer before the moving reunion with Sam where she claimed: "She said, he's promised me he's not going to jump." But Sam did jump. Pete added: "So Sam jumps. We then get a little bit carried away, but I'm supporting both of our body weights on this bridge."
Pete shared a funny story about nearly falling off a bridge during a hug, saying: "They say you can have your hug but you need to turn around so we can get a shot of both of your faces on the bridge. But at that point, I lost my balance. I had to grab the f***ing bridge to stop us going over, I nearly died!"
He also addressed rumours about his love life during his time in Australia. He was seen getting close to EastEnders actress Danielle Harold and spending an evening with Nick Pickard's girlfriend Sarah Corrin. On his podcast, Pete firmly denied any romantic involvement.
He told listeners: "Just on my experience for the whole f***ing thing, we'll go into that another time properly. I just want to point out that I didn't sh** anyone's wife." Sam went on to add: "Pete got linked to every single person out there. He got linked to Sarah - Nick's [Pickard] girlfriend, he got linked to Danielle [Harold], he got linked to my girlfriend Zara [McDermott], he got linked to Rochelle [Humes] at one point. I don't think there were any more women out there to get linked to."
