Former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson has opened up about his preparations before taking on a dazzling new gig for the I'm A Celebrity...
Get Me Out Of Here! spin-off show.The reality star is gearing up to present I'm A Celebrity Unpacked, live from the Aussie camp, and he's spoken out about his cheeky doctor’s visit before heading Down Under.
Chatting to close mate and Strictly Come Dancing sensation Pete Wicks on his hit podcast Staying Relevant, released after jetting off, Sam said: "The timings are quite awkward because obviously we are live in UK time.
So we go to bed at 4pm every day in Australia and wake up at midnight. Which is going to be wild." Pete then said to Sam, chuckling: "You don't cope well with change and what Sam said to me when he told me this last week is 'I've just been to the doctor and I've got 24 sleeping pills.'" Sam owned up with a laugh, admitting he snagged the pills as a precaution, while Pete continued, "That was the first thing you did, he literally came out of the meeting with ITV or off the phone and went straight to the doctor and said 'I need pills.'" Sam will appear on the ITV spin-off alongside co-presenters Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers.The new series of the hit jungle contest gets under way on Sunday 17 November, and the impressive line up was revealed on Monday evening.
