Sam Thompson has broken his silence after he was consoled by his pal Pete Wicks at the TRIC Awards last Tuesday amid reports he has been having ‘crisis talks’ with Zara McDermott.
In pictures exclusively obtained, the I’m A Celebrity winner, 31, was spotted during an emotional exchange with his close friend in the smoking area at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.
Sam appeared to break down in tears before Pete sweetly embraced him, however the Made In Chelsea star has now explained why he was so emotional.
WHY HE CRIED
Speaking on his podcast Staying Relevant, he revealed he had received some upsetting news that day but confirmed he wasn’t crying.
‘I wasn’t crying, I wasn’t actually crying. I just want to let everyone know that now.
‘Look, there’s no way of getting around it. I had actually received some bad news, so I actually was really sad, I’m not going to lie about it, but I was.’
HOW PETE CONSOLED HIM
Sam explained that Pete took him around the back of the hotel to console him and provide a shoulder to cry on.
He explained: ‘I let it go, I let it all out. I am head butting Pete’s shoulder. I am caressed into his armpit and he is being such a good mate saying “I am always there for you blah blah blah” and I am feeling very sorry for myself.’

During the award’s both the pair’s podcast and I’m A Celeb were nominated for an award but neither managed to bag the accolade.
Lightening the mood, Pete joked: ‘Personally I just think it was Sam’s way of letting out the fact that we hadn’t won an award. I think that’s where the tears stemmed from’.
Sam’s latest podcast episode comes after recent reports revealed Sam has been having ‘crisis talks’ with his girlfriend Zara.
However Sam didn’t address his relationship as he thanked his followers and listeners for reaching out and sharing their support after the TRIC snaps.
