Yahoo News Sam Thompson says 'sorry' as he fights tears on camera when confronted by pop star
Sam Thompson was left apologising when he swore at one of the country's biggest pop stars after he was left shocked that she knew who he was. As part of his role as a presenter on Hits Radio, the I'm A Celebrity winner got to chat with Perrie Edwards as she embarks on a solo career.
The former Little Mix star has been doing the media rounds for the release of her new single, Forget About Us, with an album also in the pipeline. Amid her promotion for her latest work, Perrie joined The Hits Radio Evening Show with Sam Thompson but in a moment captured in video, the host was left awestruck.
Sam was seen in a video shared on Hits Radio's social media channels in which Perrie could be seen arriving in the studio before taking her seat. She is then heard saying to Sam: "I love you," as he positioned his microphone and in shock he replied: "Shut up!" Perrie added: "I'm such a fan..."

But Sam still couldn't believe it and with a smile across his face shouted: "No way!" Perrie continued: "I'm obsessed!" leaving Sam with his mouth wide open before the former Made in Chelsea star looked away and said: "I'm gonna cry. I didn't even think you'd know who I was!"
Perrie continued with the compliments calling him a "ray of sunshine" as Sam said they were "having a moment" before Perrie said "I love you" and he exclaimed: "F***ing Perrie mate!" He added: "Sorry, I'm having a bit of a moment," as Perrie burst out laughing.
Captioning the video on Instagram, Hits Radio's social media team wrote: "One lil starstruck @samthompsonuk with @perrieedwards pre-interview x." Sam has also since shared it to his Instagram Story and said: "Life. Made," alongside a face holding back tears emoji and a red love heart.
Meanwhile, fans were left gushing over Sam's reaction to the singer's compliments. @niamhmariefoulkes said: "‘You are like sunshine’ must be one of the nicest things you can say to someone with sincerity, which she did. Aww." @lindsayabvp wrote: "Love that he still doesn’t realise he’s actually a celebrity too! So endearing."
@xmia_roseeex commented: "SAMour golden retriever pup. Our ray of sunshine! Hits radio how did you get so lucky he's the sweetest." @jen_reay_ shared: "Soooooo cute she said that. He really thinks no one knows him. His tour with Pete is huge. They're loved so much." @natalieacaiscia.x added: "Aww Sam you’re loved. What a lovely man."
