Sam Thompson, who is best friends with Strictly Come Dancing's Pete Wicks, offered fans a glimpse into the dynamic he shares with him on their 'Staying Relevant' podcast
Sam Thompson has admitted that he has "arguments every day" with Pete Wicks but always follows them up with four words.
In a recent interview, the I'm A Celeb winner, who is best mates with the Strictly Come Dancing star, offered insights into the dynamic he shares with Pete on their podcast, Staying Relevant.
Sam recently opened up about the prospect of returning to the cast of Made In Chelsea, but he claimed that he no longer has a "backbone" and would now feel "panicked" if somebody "had a go" at him.
Yet, it was pointed out that his podcast listeners may have a different opinion on the matter. However, Sam explained that his rows with Pete are followed up with four specific words.
Sam told Heat magazine: "But what you'll notice about that podcast is there are arguments every day, to which I then go, 'I'm so sorry, Pete'." When it was highlighted that he has control of the editing, he added: "I'm going to be honest with you. I call up a producer every week and go, 'Right, how can we annoy Pete?"
Sam and TOWIE's Pete first met in 2019 when they appeared on the same season of the reality show Celebs Go Dating, appearing alongside other famous faces such as Kerry Katona and Megan McKenna.
It would be a match made in heaven as their friendship continued beyond the show. They later appeared on The Celebrity Circle and scooped a respectable second place. They announced they would be starring in a podcast together in 2022, with the name 'Staying Relevant' a light-hearted nod to their attempts to stay relevant in the industry.
In a sweet demonstration of their close friendship, in the final week of I'm A Celeb, when the contestants enjoyed a brief meeting with their loved ones, Pete flew to Australia to greet his mate, rather than Sam's then-girlfriend Zara McDermott.
In 2024, Pete joined the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing alongside professional dancer Jowita Przystal. Sadly, the pair lost a chance in the final after being voted off in the semis.
Speaking to host Tess Daly, he said: "It's been wild. I've been quite honest about the fact that I didn't necessarily want to do this [Strictly] in the first place, but everyone else wanted me to do it, and I am so, so glad that I did it!"
