Sam Thompson got tackled to the floor by security during a bust-up at a nightclub in New York City.
The 31-year-old TV star is currently a campmate on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. But before he entered the jungle, he got “hammered” and ended up in a big scrap with the rapper’s bouncer.
The heated clash was all over an unlit cigar. And the Made in Chelsea alum admitted to Daily Star it “wasn’t the best idea” to keep prodding after the bloke wrestled him to the floor.

Speaking his Staying Relevant podcast, with his TOWIE star co-host Pete Wicks, he said: “I nearly got in a fight. I got hammered and there was a rapper there. Quite a big rapper, I think it might have been Flo Rida. He’s sat on the edge of the table next to us. There’s security around him, and there’s one guy, right, who is stood up around this table.

“This is so American. He’s got a cigar in his hand, right, but he hasn’t lit it. It’s inside. So he’s literally holding a cigar and dancing with a bottle and a chain on, but he’s holding this unlit cigar and it f***ed me off so much I literally turned round and tried to get to Flo Rida and his bouncer took me down and tackled me onto the sofa.
“He went ‘what do you think you’re doing man’. I was like ‘I don’t know, I just wanted to ask something. He was like ‘you can’t just do that, go back to your f***ing table’. I was like ‘can I ask you a question?’. I was really drunk at this point. He was like ‘yeah’. I asked ‘why has he got a cigar that’s not lit?’. He went ‘it’s none of your business man’. I went ‘does he want a lighter?’.

“He went ‘he doesn’t need a lighter.'” When the bouncer told him it was part of his “look”, Sam declared: “It’s a f***ing s*** look”. Sam added: “I scampered back to my table. All of my mates looked at me and went ‘what the f*** do you think you’re doing?’.”
He told Daily Star: “It was quite late at night and I was a little bit drunk…” Never had a cigar before. I got taken down by security. I was like ‘so sorry, I was just wondering if you wanted a lighter’.
Sam added: “But then I thought do you know what, I’m lying face down and I went ‘probably not the best idea’.”
