Sam Thompson's life after winning I'm A Celeb - presenting career to acting debut

Sam Thompson, last year's King of the Jungle, has been keeping busy since his victory on I'm A Celebrity. The show is currently in full swing with ten new celebrities braving life in the Australian wilderness for three weeks.

Thompson won hearts across the nation during last year's series, beating finalists Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage to claim the crown. His candid discussions about living with ADHD, his close friendship with Tony, and his enthusiasm for the Bushtucker trials endeared him to viewers.

Since leaving the jungle, Sam's career has taken off. From presenting and podcasting to acting, the former Made in Chelsea star has been involved in a variety of projects.

After his win, Sam returned to the UK and began presenting segments on This Morning, even taking on the role of roving reporter. He also made appearances on the famous sofa, delivering the latest entertainment news and reuniting with his jungle co-star Josie Gibson.

Additionally, Sam has joined Hits Radio as a presenter, where he hosts not one, but two shows.

Sam is the host of The Hits UK Chart every Sunday from 4-7pm and The Hits Radio Evening Show from Monday to Thursday starting at 7pm.

In June, he participated in Soccer Aid for Unicef, which was broadcast on ITV1. He was part of the England squad, playing alongside big names like Tom Hiddleston, Danny Dyer, and Tom Grennan.

England triumphed over the Legends team for the first time since 2018, securing a 6-3 victory.

Sam also ventured into voice acting, providing the voice for Security Man Sam in the UK version of Disney Pixar's Inside Out 2.

In September, he continued his presenting duties as he and Pete took to the red carpet of the National Television Awards as the official presenters.

Currently, Sam is back in Australia hosting the spin-off show I'm A Celebrity: Unpacked with Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers.
