Sam Thompson has opened up about his time on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, including his emotional reunion with best pal Pete Wicks after being crowned King of the Jungle. <\/p>\n
Sam, 31, and Pete, 35, have returned to their podcast, Staying Relevant, for the first time since Sam's jungle stint, with the duo revealing all about the ITV show and Pete's time in Australia supporting Sam.<\/p>\n
The pair discussed their reunion on the show's iconic rickety bridge after Sam's crowning, which saw the ex-Made in Chelsea star excitedly jump on Pete despite the bridge being unstable. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pete has now admitted that Sam was told beforehand specifically not to jump on Pete as the bridge is "rickety" and extremely "high up", however he proceeded to do so, prompting Pete to lose his balance. <\/p>\n
Pete said: "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." <\/p>\n
He went to say he'd had a discussion with a producer, who insisted Sam had "promised" he wasn't going to jump on the bridge. <\/p>\n
"She said, he's promised me he's not going to jump. So Sam jumps. We then get a little bit carried away, but I'm supporting both of our body weight on this bridge," Pete laughed. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He added: "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!'' <\/p>\n
Pete also made sure to set the record straight on his love life after he was linked to several women while out in Australia – including an I'm A Celeb star's girlfriend. <\/p>\n
During his time Down Under, the ex-TOWIE favourite was spotted getting cosy with EastEnders star Danielle Harold, as well as enjoying a night out with Nick Pickard's girlfriend Sarah Corrin.<\/p>\n
Pete has now dismissed any romance rumours and pointed out that he did not "sh** anyone's wife" on the latest episode of the podcast.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pete sparked romance rumours with soap star Danielle, 31, as they were spotted looking cosy at the show's wrap party, with sources also sharing that Pete was keen to chat with Danielle. <\/p>\n
Following this, the duo were spotted getting close at Cali Beach, a posh beach club, where Danielle even jumped on Pete's back and wrapped her arms around him. The two were pictured laughing and chatting together, and putting their heads close together to chat.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
