Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks have been up to their old tricks again – and this time it backfired spectacularly.
Last month, the dynamic duo hosted the BRIT Awards on the red carpet. The dynamic duo talked to some of the biggest names in showbizness before television hosts Roman Kemp, Maya Jama and Clara Amfo took over for the main show.
And it’s fair to say it didn’t take long before the pair found themselves in trouble. During their latest, episode of their podcast, Staying Relevant, the pair recalled their mortifying run in with the police.

The former TOWIE star recalled how things took a turn for the worse when he stepped out for a smoke at the star-studded event. He explained: “I needed to go out for a cigarette and Sam came with me.
“We went outside for a quick cigarette, and we were out there for quite a while. And Charlotte [their manager] had to come and find us.
“So Chaz came and found us, and we were surrounded by the Met police. Now that sounds bad but yeah, I think there was about 15 of them.” It was at this point that the former Made In Chelsea star pointed out that Pete had chosen a particularly flamable area to enjoy his smoking break.
He added: “Where Pete’s having a cigarette, he’s come around the side part of the entrance to the red carpet. And he’s having a cigarette but there’s wooden chips on the floor and he’s having a cigarette by it.
“And there’s two coppers right behind us and he goes, before they’ve even come over, he tells me, ‘I’m worried they’re gonna come over and tell me to move along’. And I went, ‘He’s gonna get moved along’.
“And lo and behold, five minutes later [they said], ‘Excuse me, boys’ and Pete just looked at them.” The brunette hunk interjected: “I literally went, ‘Oh for f**k sake’.”
As Sam struggled to continue through his laughter, he went on: “Pete literally looks at them in disgust and was like, ‘For F**k’s sake’ and they went, ‘Can we have a photo?’ And I went, ‘How bad do you feel now, Pete?”
The comedy duo then burst into laughter after narrowly avoiding a telling off from the police at the glamorous event. But that wasn’t their first run in with trouble at the awards ceremony.
Previously on the podcast, the duo confessed that they had been turned away from the event as they pulled up to the red carpet entry area. Taking to Instagram, the I’m a Celebrity winner took a selfie with Pete looking annoyed which he captioned: “We can’t get in.”
Just an hour later, the TV star shared another clip of the Pete looked annoyed a he chuckled: “This is what I came for.” Thankfully, the pair eventually made it onto the red carpet.
