Sam Thompson’s forgotten kiss with an EastEnders star has resurfaced thanks to his pal Pete Wicks.
The pair discussed the moment on their Staying Relevant podcast this week where Pete brought up the epic TV moment that took place on Celebrity Big Brother in 2013. Pete recalled how Sam kissed EastEnders legend Sean Williamson who played Barry Evans.
Pete brought up the topic by saying: “So despite me having a slightly unusual obsession with him, Sam did Big Brother with Barry and you never mentioned to me that you personally knew him.”

Pete laughed: “You were on a national TV show called Big Brother… I don’t know what it was for but I have evidence of you and Barry kissing…
“But there’s a couple of things that I want to ask is firstly, by his face. Did you slip the tongue?
“He looks miserable,” Sam laughed. Before Pete added: “He looks like he’s in pain. However, we can’t see you but you seem to enjoy it.”
Sam then explained his relationship with the actor and said: “I didn’t really know much about Barry when he came in. It was a hell of an experience but Barry was an absolute legend.

“I remember the first night I panicked for the first time because I thought I was not gonna be able to sleep. It’s gonna be terrifying. Everyone else is asleep and Barry is just snoring right next to me. I thought this is gonna be a real struggle.
“But then I got to know him really well. And he’s like the softest guy, he’s the nicest sweetest soul and he really enjoyed himself.

“You know, when someone like just doesn’t take themselves seriously at all. And he was telling me all the soap stuff and he was telling me about how long he’s been doing it for years. And he sang for us in there. He’s just a really decent bloke.”
