However as he became increasingly excited over his victory, Sam failed to listen. Explaining what happened, 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.”

Pete revealed that he spoke to a producer before the emotional scenes who said Sam promised that he wouldn’t jump due to the bridge being “rickety” and too high. He continued: “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.”

But at that point, I lost my balance. I had to grab the f***ing bridge to stop us going over, I nearly died!” He added.
