I’m A Celeb winner hosted his first This Morning segment last week – but he isn’t feeling very hopeful about it.
The Made in Chelsea star was offered the slot after his ITV jungle win and spoke about his new opportunity with his pal Pete Wicks on their Staying Relevant podcast. Sam opened up about how he “loved every minute” but wasn’t sure about fans’ thoughts.
Speaking about it, Sam said: “I was in Manchester doing this live This Morning link and it was a very exciting time for everyone involved. And I called up Zara and Pete after and they said ‘I thought you were great. It was all good. But I’ve gotta be honest with you, don’t look at Twitter’. It was a blood bath!”

Peter interjected: “No, you were very good. But y’know, there’s labrador energy and it puts the point that should Labradors be presenting morning TV?”

The pair then read out some tweets made by disgruntled This Morning viewers who slated his hosting slot on X. Luckily enough, Sam could see the funny side and stayed chipper whilst promoting his next slot on the show.
Sam said: “So my next one is actually already filmed. It was VT and my videos yesterday and they sent me to the balloon Museum.”
Pete joked: “Bet that was popping.” Sam then excitedly replied: “And that’s what I said! I made that joke! I made that joke when it’s gonna be popping and then I went ‘I hope I don’t blow it’.”
Supporting his pal, Pete asked: “So you are actually now part of the This Morning team?” Before Sam confessed: “Only for a month. Initially, it’s a trial month. It is like a probation but one day I want to host the sofa.”
TOWIE star Pete then asked Sam who his dream This Morning co-host would be – and the answer was not what you’d expect. Sam blurted out his girlfriend Zara McDermott would be first pick, before swiftly changing his mind.
Sam answered: “Zara… To be honest with you, actually… This sounds awful and Zara will be like ‘Really?’ but I would love to do it with Josie [Gibson]. She is just so cool.” Pete laughed: “Well, that’d be fair if you do it with Josie, it gives me and Zara some more time at home.”
