"My aunt is always extremely supportive and proud of me,' Sam exclusively tells HELLO!. "She always gives her two cents, though she wouldn't be her if she didn't keep me in check and give me advice. She always tells me: 'You don't need to raise your voice. Keep calm and don't let anyone get the best of you."
The pair's bond has grown closer since the death of Sam's father Mark, Lisa's only brother, in 2018 aged 59. "Losing my dad at a young age was very hard and Lisa has become my guidance on that side of the family ever since," he says. "She is my rock."
ROLE MODEL
Following in the footsteps of London-born Lisa, 63, who stars on spin-offs including Vanderpump Rules as well as running a restaurant empire, was a natural move, he adds.
"Seeing my aunt on reality TV was quite aspirational; she does it really well. Even before she was on Real Housewives, I went to the same theatre school as her. We were always alike in that way."
