Sam Thompson reveals why he was embarrassed on a recent date
Sam Thompson reveals why he was embarrassed on a recent date The 32-year-old TV personality - who split with his long-term girlfriend Zara McDermott earlier this year - was "quite hungover" Sam Thompson (Image: Sam Thompson Instagram ) Sam Thompson was left red-faced after his date confronted him about his pebble dashed toilet. The 32-year-old TV personality - who split with his long-term girlfriend Zara McDermott earlier this year - was "quite hungover" when he recently invited a woman to his house to eat a "couple of steaks" and have a chat, but Sam was sweating buckets when she told him that he had forgotten to clean the loo. Chatting to his 37-year-old reality TV star pal Pete Wicks on the latest episode of their Staying Relevant podcast, he shared: "I had the worst experience ever. By the way, if you are cooking a couple of steaks, or you are cooking for someone and it's one of your first few dates, you've got to clean your loos. "That was a real f****** problem. I'm not joking this is God's honest truth. I'd never met her before, she comes round for a couple of steaks, mate she went downstairs, she goes, 'Can I use your bathroom?' And I was like, 'Yeah, sure.' "She goes downstairs into the basement. I was already hungover, this made me want to throw up into the sink. She came back upstairs and went, 'I just want to make it clear that downstairs wasn't me.' "The panic that I had! ... It was so bad. She said, 'I want you to know that it wasn't me. I don't know who it was.' Article continues below "I went, 'Oh no, it wasn't me either. I had some friends round, we had some drinks, and one of them probably done that.'" Sam also revealed the pair spent "two minutes" going back and forth denying it was them who caused the mess. He added: "I already know how not true that sounds, and I've gone so red and I'm sweating. She goes, 'No, it's fine I just want you to know it's not me.' "So we spent about two minutes both to each other - having not met before - going, 'It wasn't me.' And her going, 'It wasn't me either.' The former Made in Chelsea star also revealed that he farts in his spare bedroom's toilet in the morning if he wakes up next to someone. He explained: "I will wake up in the morning and for some reason, I get really bad stomach aches. I get stomach cramps in the morning, and more often than not, I do need to let off a little bit of wind. Article continues below "I have woken up next to whoever it may be, and I've needed to fart. I will have to go and get out of bed, and go to the spare room and go and fart in that loo at six in the morning, just so I don't fart next to them. "So I'll go in, and I'll pull [my] cheeks apart so you don't get any of that [farting] sound because if you do that, it's just air ... "I think it's just good manners."

Sam Thompson admits 'panic' ahead of Soccer Aid and Louis Tomlinson encounter
There's been a lot of speculation how the football match was going to go, with both stars meeting on the pitch for the first time ever - Sam reveals how he felt before the match took place Sam Thompson admits he 'panicked' ahead of possible run-in with Louis Tomlinson at Soccer Aid over the weekend. Sam has admitted he felt a wave of panic at the thought of a potential run-in with Louis Tomlinson during Soccer Aid with behind-the-scenes tensions bubbling long before the match. The reality star, 32, revealed he was caught off guard months ago when asked how he'd feel sharing a pitch with the One Direction singer, who is now dating his ex, Zara McDermott. 'I panicked and thought, 'I don't have this,'' he explained on his Staying Relevant podcast. "So I said, 'It's not about me and Louis. It's not about who's dating who - it's UNICEF, it's charity.' 'Everyone's here for the same reason: to raise money. And if he's got anything about him, which I've heard he does, he'll say the same.' Sam and Zara, who met in 2019 after she shot to fame on Love Island, broke up briefly before getting back together but called time on their relationship for good in December. She's since moved on with Louis, though the new couple have kept things quiet publicly – with Louis only briefly featuring on Zara's Instagram during a romantic trip in the US earlier this year. Sam, meanwhile, hasn't shied away from addressing the situation, previously saying: 'I've never met Louis. But the moment I do, I'll be like, 'Mate, how amazing is this? Hopefully we can raise as much money as possible.' And from what I hear, he's a lovely bloke, so I imagine the reply will be the same.' He did, however, downplay their romance as a 'hook-up' and was quick to point out that the real focus should be on the cause, not relationships. 'It's a charity football game and everyone will have a smile on their face. Everybody is doing it for a cause that's far beyond who's hooking up with who. Football brings everyone together.' Although both were set to play on the same team for England, Sam pulled out ahead of the match due to injury after his recent marathon challenge, which was also for Soccer Aid. A insider said: 'Sam's gutted he can't play, but the match has just come too soon. He'll still be involved in the coverage, but he won't be on the pitch.' Another insider added: 'There's a small blessing in it without Sam and Louis on the field together, the focus shifts back to the game and the charity. Their every move was going to be watched, so in some ways, it's a relief.'

'He's still going to be a presence and play a big part in the coverage but he won't be able to compete on the field.' The source added: 'There is a small blessing in his withdrawal as the focus on him and Louis will disperse. 'Their every move will be watched so it's a relief in some ways they won't be on the pitch together.' 5 Sam was spotted standing behind Louis during a training session in an awkward moment Credit: TalkSport
