I cooked for Zara and she threw up

Sam Thompson works on his kitchen skills in a new show

- KATIE BEGLEY

Reality TV veteran Sam Thompson is back on our screens, but this time we’ll be seeing a new side to him. After finding fame as Made In Chelsea’s resident prankster, Sam cosied up to former X Factor star Amelia Lily in the Celebrity Big Brother house before taking on SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Now Sam is venturing into the kitchen for E4’s Celeb Cooking School alongside Kerry Katona, Love Island’s Toby Aromalaran and his MIC co-star Maeva D’Ascanio. But there’s just one problem – he can’t cook!

“I can’t even boil an egg,” says Sam, 30, when we quiz him on his culinary skills. He admits it tends to be 25-year-old girlfriend Zara McDermott – who was in the fourth season of Love Island before joining MIC – who makes their meals. So a trip to cookery school could be what he needs.

Here, Sam lifts the lid on becoming an uncle, coping with his ADHD, and wedding plans.

Hi, Sam! You celebrated your 30th birthday recently. How does that feel? Stiff! It feels like I need to do yoga. I don’t know whether it’s my mind, but I literally woke up and my back hurt. I’m going to start drinking babies’ tears, I hear that’s how you keep your youth!

Speaking of babies, your sister Louise has a son, Leo. Do you enjoy being an uncle? I love it to bits. I’m uncle to the cutest kid on the planet, which I wouldn’t say if it wasn’t true. If Louise had an ugly baby, I’d tell her, but he is an absolute 10. He’s the cutest thing you will ever see. They’ve made an absolute stunner there. He’s the best boy, as well. He doesn’t even cry that much. It’s really nice.
