2:54Have a go. Have a go. When Pete's not here and it's just me and the girlies, I like walk into the studio and like, I can't get involved in any of your conversation. That's what just happened then. It kills me inside. No, but you say you can't get involved, but I would say you find a way. You weasel your way on in there. More like bulldoze. You're like, what? Who? Who? Who's this? What did she say? What happened then? Oh, no way. And what did she do? I know. I love living by cat. I'll tell you what I would do. This is what I would do. Do you know what I do? I stand really close, like really, really close.

3:28And then I just sort of like say one word or laugh and then everyone like involves me. So basically we were talking about Annalise's new fella.

3:40Annalise's stopped coming into the recordings and she's just come back in. This is our first one back. And actually on that note, this is our first record back from Bongo's Bingo. Just want to say quickly, well done to the entire team. I didn't do fuck all. Pete didn't do fuck all. The entire team basically made that whole thing happen. Hannah in particular, Annalise as well. Everyone was there and had a wonderful, wonderful. The feedback has been phenomenal. We've never done anything like that before. It was so much fun. How did you find it? I had so much fun. You were hammered. I had too much fun.

4:17I woke up the next day like, ooh, that was fun. my dad my mum and dad came shock and they were like oh so what are you doing like what's your job tonight no job role i was just there with them it was so fun pippa's dad came up to me i don't know if he told you this no he was also he rang me up the next day he was like don't oh i've not had a hangover in years don't see don't preface what i'm about to say with my dad was hammered so don't take it seriously oh did he say something nice he literally took me to one side and he went can I just have a word with you and I was like yeah yeah sure oh god he goes I just want to say I'm just so grateful for what you've done with Pippa um he was like she just she adores her job and he was like as a father like it honestly tears me up it was the sweetest thing because as a father I just want to let you know like it feels so nice she's in such safe hands and she's like loving her job and like it's just so great to see my young girl I think he even called you his little girl like my little girl smiling every day and I literally was like I took all of the praise and was like well you know mr morgan it's a real pleasure it's an honor really like we adore her anyway but he like nearly started crying no he loves a bit of a well up after a drink or two i've seen him cry like twice in his life but then also like since like he's got a bit older and like retirement is neared anytime we're like two drinks in there's like we're welling up about something bless him that's very cute it was very very nice i then didn't tell pete So I literally was like, mate, I just kept it all for myself.

5:44Pete was right next to me and I was like, you should probably get Pete in on this a little bit. And just sat there and went, well, it's my pleasure. He was probably on stage whipping his top off. Well, let's talk about it because you couldn't for love nor money get that man off the fucking stage. So we rock up, right? Me and Pete turn up to Bongo's Bingo. We got this like really nice little area up top and um and we're looking down and it's very sweet people you you know you were there like people like looking up screaming yeah it was like a lovely moment and like we were only when were we meant to get on like the last two rounds i think like nine ish like 9 p.m that did not happen you know pete turned up at half five like we've all like for a bit of context from like the behind the scenes team side of things as you said hannah and annalise have like sorted this event and we've all been like looking forward to it and stuff but there's like a there's an overarching tone of obviously people hate this like obviously this is not for him this is not his thing he was like do it if people are gonna have fun like we'll do it it'll be good you're obviously like up for anything and anything is fun so we were all a bit like oh god not sure how he's gonna find it a bit nervous like not really sure how he's gonna feel about being on stage like with a dildo knocking around and like it was a double ender as well it was it was all these people screaming and stuff i got a text we asked for you guys to get there at like what half seven half seven yeah get a text like caught past five i'm ten minutes away i was like oh okay go to stage door there he is and he comes vibes are high.

7:29He's like, right, what are we doing then? Next thing I know on stage, tops off. Think he did the worm. No, he did a WAP. He did do a WAP. By the way, this is what's so wild. This is what love does to a man. By the way, normally I'm the instigator of the WAP. The WAP is something that me and Pete have done for years, but it's never been something that he's wanted to do. Veterans of the WAP, you two. Mate He whispered It shouted When we were on stage Mate let's do the one I was like what the fuck It's just so hard to call You either get That Pete Or you get the like What the hell Is happening Pete What the fuck was that Yeah And Pete was so right You would think That that's the kind of thing That you would hate Fast forward an hour He's got his top off Yeah His top off On stage Just like Just doing the Like shagging the stage But I'm just always so thrilled when it goes that way.

8:27I know. It's so great. It's so great. I mean, and we've got, you know, we're just so grateful. We had a wonderful time. It was. If anything, I think we were on stage too much, I think. But it was just brilliant. Like, we love, you know, seeing you guys. And we love, like, interacting and actually, like, being together. And when it's small things as well, quite nice. Like, obviously, the O2 is unreal. Love that. But that, you actually got to speak to loads of people. Like I met a lovely woman called Linny. Oh, hello. Shout out Linny. Yeah, we've been emailing. Really? She fell over and I helped her up.

9:03I met a girl called Danny, but that wasn't at Bongos Bingo. Oh. No context there at all. Where did you meet Danny? Please tell me more about her. A &E, accident and emergency. Oh, okay, good. We're here. We're here. That was quicker than I thought it would be. Sam called me. I haven't told anyone this actually. Sam called me Saturday, Sunday Sunday, Sunday morning Sunday morning and I was doing something No, Saturday morning Yeah, it was Saturday morning and you were like you're gonna love this that's how it started and I was like good morning UK like what's happening you're gonna love it you're gonna love it who you with, where are you I was like I'm at home on my own you're like right, guess what I've got a perianal abscess and I was like okay what like 9am I was like okay oh are you alright I'm on my way to the hospital now because it's going to get infected they need to burst it I'm on my way there now I just thought you'd want to know it's always nice when people think of you and big things happen in their life perianal abscesses being mate genuinely though I mean it's in all seriousness I was in a real bad way I texted you yesterday saying how is the abscess didn't get drained so you still have it I still have it yeah It's live here with us now.

10:24It's live. We have, talking to you right now, a... We'll have to retitle this one. Special guest Pippa and... Well, not mine. That makes it sound like mine. It's yours. Pippa and her perianal abscess is with us. It's been a really tough weekend. I've got to be honest with you. Pippa's right. Pippa, you're my go-to. I think, you know, I'm sure people understand this now. They listen to the pop long enough. Pippa's my go-to for anything life-orientated, really. And, you know, her perianal abscess is no different. Blessing and a curse, isn't it? And I went, so I was in so much pain and I still am actually, that in my backside area, I was like, this can't be right.

11:02And no amount of anisole was helping. I know, he goes, and I've tried the anisole. I've tried it. It's not helping. What did you say this morning? They've put you on anisole pro. Anisole plus. You have to be prescribed it. It's called anisole pro. Oh, gone up in the world. But anyway, I waited in the ANE for four hours, waited to see someone. and I just knew, I knew that the person that would come out and see me would be a young lady. Oh, is this where Danny comes in? This is Danny, yeah. Amazing. And so she comes out, Sam Thompson, and like, hello, me. And you know, and also you can kind of tell that she's seen something you're in before or something like that.

11:42Like, she didn't fully know her, but you could tell, like, she was like, I've seen this dude before. Knew your face. Yeah, and so I traipsed past her, and there's that, awkward walk to like the to like the room they have to check you in at and she goes so what's wrong and bear in mind she's like 30 years old you're teeing this story up as if you're so shy and so embarrassed they're like oh god like it's poor young girl i bet you waded in there listen here danny something in my ass it's really hurting because you weren't backwards and coming forwards about it that is exactly what i did i sat down she went so what's the matter i went i'm just gonna put straight out there danny i've got an abscess in my anal region anal region in my agent annual region and then anyway i'm not going to go too deep into it basically she got no she got a she got a lamp out she maybe sits on my side got a lamp oh the side fetal the fetal position got a lamp out and and and open when you say lamp a lamp like like see what this mic's on right maneuvered this lamp opens my my my butt and and started peering in and and rooting around and I was like this is right no no I'm not I'm being deadly I mean was poking and being like does it hurt here and I was like a little bit yeah but it's a bit further in so she's like I got to go and get the gloves she then went and got someone she went and got a chaperone because apparently you're not allowed to do these things without chaperone now and um and anyway she said look if you give me a shout out on the podcast then I'd appreciate it so shout out to Danny for being incredibly professional whilst rooting around it by anal cavities we are so sorry on his behalf on his family's behalf and on all of our behalf because i imagine there's a hell of a lot more stuff he said that hasn't made it so much hasn't made it to honest poor danny he's probably had to take a day off but we're in our medical era at the moment aren't we we are we are yeah well i've had my results back we went for a blood test we did we both together went for a blood test it's like kind of fun like work social that's what colleagues do these days.

13:46A full blood panel. We don't go for beers. We don't go bowling. We literally went and got blood taken and then both got incredibly, what's the word? Competitive. Competitive. About who's got a better blood work. Just want to let it out there. People's got a terrible thyroid. I do, but we already knew this. So, all I said was such a glee. Fantastic. Good. You want a shit thyroid? It's okay. I do have a shit thyroid. And what have I got? Shit testosterone. Got really low testosterone. basically i was i was messaged on instagram there's a few perks to this job thanks for following me on instagram relevant is because i occasionally take the occasional freebie and i was messaged asking if i wanted a blood panel by rebalance health it might get me something else now shout out rebalance health um and they said it's only like i'm very aware it's because i'm a gateway to you i have an autoimmune disease of my thyroid and i thought could do with a bit more information about this.

14:44Sam, do you want to come for a blood test? Like, it's for you. Damn, we went. Just like, the whole time he was like, you're going to have shit blood. Your blood's going to be so shit. Pippa's blood's going to be like so shit, isn't it? Like, look at Pippa. Don't you think her blood's going to be like, well, shit. And the doctor's like, literally like, oh no, don't like, so unsure of what to respond to you. No, as a boy, no one wants low testosterone level, do they? Like, that's quite a bad thing, I think. I don't think it's desirable. All right. I thought you could have been like, I don't think it's that bad.

15:15Desirable. Why would you say it's not desirable, Pippa? I actually don't know a lot about testosterone, but I associate it with manliness and kind of alpha, alpha behaviours. Like high testosterone is like... That's very me. Yeah. That wasn't... I wouldn't have expected your blood test to come back with like dangerously high testosterone. Are you fucking joking? I lift weight. No, I know. Go to the gym I know In a scale of manliness Pippa Where would you put me? Well we just for your birthday Went on a girls day out For bottomless brunch And I loved it Yeah It was great It was good fun That was another prime example Of like we're all talking about Like our friends And like friends that know each other Or like dates Or like what's going on And you're like Who?

16:03What? What did she Oh my god What did he do? What did she say? I love it We spent two and a half Maybe even three hours Just gossiping it was fucking great can i ask like what is it about the world of like girlhood yeah that you love so much because it's like a mythical thing like it's it's like as a boy like we're all told what you're like and then like seeing it by who what do you mean we'll just we just like we just who's telling you just it's just the no it's the known thing that like you all just like to get together and have a chin wag and like how you talk about boys and like i've never been i've never actually had girlfriends by the way which is actually really interesting like i don't know how interesting it was i've never had like girlfriend friends who are girls so like i've never been privileged till when so now oh it's fucking great like i've got like one two i've got four girlfriends that you pay no that's unfair that's unfair i feel like we passed that permanently employed.

17:08No, no, I feel like we're past that a little bit, aren't we? Yeah. Yeah. I think we are. Yeah. But like being able to like sit there and actually see, it really really makes me worry though, what my exes are saying about me. Why? Oh, because you hear what we say about people. The way you speak about boys is fucking mental. What, like nicknames and stuff? Nicknames and like every problem with them under the sun. Like, it's like one of them might have breathed weirdly and you're like, oh god Nick, like put a gun to my head it's like the dude's literally just had a nose whistle or something and like and suddenly he's like the most on the nose whistling dude i've ever seen in my life like what are my ex-girlfriend saying about i mean i honestly it makes me really that's the one thing that makes me really terrified is that like the way you guys speak about boys exes and you're like fuck them they're awful people so you most like hearing how girls speak about people i love it and then i love like the like it's okay queen like he's just a dick yeah like fuck him he's like uh thank god lucky escape yeah lucky escape he might do what i'm really interested like this is so girl coded right is that god this is weird strange very far from what pete likes it and i love it so like girls he could be a 10 out of 10 like the most beautiful dude in the world really lovely great family and he bins you off, right?

18:30And he just, because it's just not right. He's done it in a really polite way and he's been really thoughtful. Wanker. There you go. And I will hear, round that table, fucking prick. You could do so much better. Let me tell you something. Sorry, as if someone's going to be like, oh my God, he ditched me. He sent me this text and I'm going to be like, what a fucking legend. What a sound guy. Oh, he's done that really well though, hasn't he? Oh, what a shame he's gone. What a good one you've lost there. Yeah, but just, you don't have to lie like that. Like, let me tell you something. You're not going to do better.

18:59You're not going to do better. That's what you actually say. That's the best that you will get. That's what you actually say. I have heard you say to people, like, he's probably not that into you, though, because if he wanted to, he would have. True. All true. But it's just not more like, keep that to yourself. I got shown a photo of a boy by one of the team members, and I won't say who. Good luck guessing. And I went, and I went, he's got a good looking dude, to be fair. And the shade that I got from just paying this dude a compliment is mental. Okay, as a guy, now that you have all your new girl friends, what advice would you give to us then about dating from a guy's perspective?

19:41I would say... What would I say? We're all ears. I just looked at Annalise. Everyone's staring. I just looked at Annalise and she pointed at Hannah. It's not just me. it's not just me there's another one here as well okay my advice and and and by the way i know nothing about relationships i would say the the the eight old adage adage if he wanted to he would right does ring true it does it rings true if he wanted two girls he would like this sounds so bad a lack of availability is good is good and that could like yeah but maybe that's just because i I have sensitive rejection, rejective disorder or whatever it's called.

20:25You have what? It's called like rejection. Disorder? Something, yeah. Well, I just, I just, the fear of rejection is really quite painful. Okay. Fear of abandonment? Maybe, maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's because I got sent to boarding school at a young age. Who knows? But, but, thanks mum. But my point is, is I feel like a lack of, a lack of availability at the start is really important. So you're like, where are they? What are they doing? Yeah. They're so busy. Well, just more so actually to the point you're like, oh, okay, they've got a life. You know, I think it's important to be like, oh, I'm not just the focal point of their plan immediately.

21:03Like, oh, they might be gaming with their friends or might be busy. Why is that a loaded statement? I'm just like, that's what I imagine you would be doing. I have. I used to do that all the time. See, I'd actually like, to an extent, okay, I'm now doing a girl's perspective for guys, but to an extent, yes, at the beginning like whatever i mean who am i i've been out of the game for like a decade out the game i can't i can't yeah were you ever in the game the streets are safe streets are safe god you're gonna let your sons loose now again jesus no but like i don't know what i'm talking about but i think to an extent yes but then that would really piss me off if you're like we were speaking about this at lunch where it's like yes like oh air of mystery whatever it's you know all fun and games for a bit but we were literally saying like if you're regularly taking hours to reply and like think you're being like one of the boys no but it just gets to a point where like what we waiting for i'm busy yeah i'm busy sorry we as humans you're kind of an exception though because like you are like that across the board i know what you mean if it's a guy who's doing on purpose i agree with you but we as humans weren't actually built i spoke to god i know right we weren't made we weren't made right just drifting over that comment the way pippa's face scrunched up just then when i said i spoke to god yeah we weren't made to be talking to one another over the phone 24 7.

22:36that's not what i want but i'm afraid i don't I don't think that's what girls want. I don't think girls... You just said it takes you over an hour to reply. I said five hours. Five hours is a long time for anyone. I'm not saying over an hour, fucking you're out of there. I'm saying that I think there comes a point where it's just like, oh, just communicate. How do you think Tally was on this podcast? I think she was really good. She's really... I saw her TikTok and I commented on it. I was like, shush. Just for a little bit of context. Talita my beautiful lovely wonderful girlfriend came on this podcast we didn't have anyone to come on so she was like yeah go on I'll do it then and she's not used to podcasting and she got home and went I'm the most boring person in the world I saw she posted a video being like oh I was so boring I was so bad and she just wasn't everyone would have heard it by now you know I love her do you think she's the one do you think Talita my girlfriend is the one yes and you know what's so funny is I looked through we last did I last came on this pub with you last year and you just started dating and you asked me that then you asked me then oh do you think tally's the one and i was like yeah i hope so i think so i can say now with certainty yes and i can also say the switch in you from when i did this to now like you're like a thousand times not in like a you were unhappy then way but you're just so relaxed and happy now like it's really nice to see that you're just like so content what was i before you were happy but you were unsure of loads of things I think but now you're just like so content what was I like last year last year's last year last year can stay in last year good times Christmas Day was a fun one Christmas Day circa 2024 oh my god yeah we spent it on the phone together I was with my family I was on my own at home on Christmas Day with like decorations all over the house.

24:36Christmas tomb. And I said to Pippa, I went, I'm in a fucking Christmas tomb right now. All right, Christmas needs to be fucking over and I'm done with it. I remember that very, very well. Yeah, I know. How far we've come, eh? I feel like she's the one. Well, when you were speaking about hard launching on Instagram and everything, I wanted to ask you about your Instagram. What, why? Just about your dumps and the process behind it. I thought it was quite interesting. You know the process behind my dumps. All too well. Because I call you and ask you exactly what I should put on. That's something I get asked all the time.

25:08Like when I'm with friends and stuff, as everyone knows, we love a phone call. Well, you do. You'll kind of ring and you'll be like, I need you to look at the photos I've sent. I've sent you some photos. I need you to look at them. I need you to tell me a favour. I need you to tell me which one you would put at the beginning, which one you don't think. Like 10 of the photos are the same. Like maybe someone's like slightly shifted a shoulder in one or something. And then you'll just post it in a complete different order anyway. And like nothing I say is taken into account. It's like just quite a stressful process for everyone involved.

25:41No, but I really, really trust your opinion. I don't actually really know what I'm doing when it comes to that kind of stuff. I make videos. I don't know how to post a photo of myself. And I get really icked out by myself. Like when, you know, like what pose do you do? Like how do you organize your dumps? Do you feel pressure? Oh my God, do I feel, do other people not? like it's so fucking full on and like i go through my camera roll and now i'm even like taking photos for a dump yeah we've all been because that now it's like well that'll be good for the fucking dump and like that's no way to live like i know but it's a slippery slope i'm now like getting my phone out this is legit i'm getting my phone out before eating a meal and like phone eats first and like it's it's now like got to the point where i'm like my sister like but i get it wrong because I forget all the time because I don't mean to blame the ADHD, but I can't focus on taking photos and stuff.

26:37So every now and then I'll take a little snap. So what do you think is the perfect dump then? What would your dream dump be? My dream dump? Oh, God. Would it be me on my own? Would it be me and the family? What, the opening shot? Yeah, me and my girlfriend. I think you and Tally. Me and Tally. But then what I don't want to do, it's funny because I keep getting reminded of this now, is that when I first started doing Tally, I was like, look, I don't want to plaster all over my Instagram. I'm like, I want to keep it kind of low key. That's gone right out the window. I was about to say, yeah. Yeah.

27:04I now literally like put her in everything. Yeah, but when she fucking looks like that, so would I. Do you know what it is? It's when you know that she's like the one and then you'll decide, I just want like to include her in things. But also everything, you do everything together. You live together. She's with you all the time. Like obviously she's like a massive part of your life. It'd be quite weird if she wasn't. I know, but I also just feel like when I like when I feel really comfortable with someone I want to like put them in the ideas that I have and I'm like we should do this or I want to put you in that or like can you just stand there and I'll just do this quickly like I just like it I really really like it were you worried about it when you first got together what like integrating yeah integrating someone on Instagram is like yeah especially if you do it like quite a bit because like then they're like a part of your life online and so like you know i've made that mistake mistake before like you don't always want that you know the relationship needs to come first rather than like you know putting someone in like my work i don't think it's a mistake but for her like she's also like really creative so she'll be like yeah yeah yeah yeah she'll like add things so do you think so i think you like do the whole social media game but in like the most sweet endearing way of like you want to get it right but like maybe you quite you don't quite know when we were at our girls day the other day you were talking about um didn't post any of those photos no i know i took about 20 didn't post any it was so indecisive so indecisive we'll do it as a throwback um you were talking about like social media and like you know the stuff with love island like the national rail comment yeah and like people getting cancelled yes that you were talking about that do you think that the amount everything's on social media now and stuff is like killing the reality tv world because you come from that and i think your era of that was way more out there and you could do like whatever you're like your gang yeah my gang your mic gang do you know i haven't spoken to any of them other than jamie in years the reason main chelsea was so good back in the day and this is before i was even on it was because none of them thought that they were going to do anything in tv afterwards so everyone went on made in chelsea back then in the thought process they were going to have like two years being on tv kind of famous in like their early early 20s like go to nightclubs hook up with people have a laugh and then probably get a normal job and like that allows you for so much more like you have so much more of an allowance to be like human and whereas now i think there is so much at stake so like for example you go on love island and you're like i could get the plt deal like i could be the next maura higgins in america doing dance with the stars i could be the next live outward i could i could i could be the next peatwicks but there's so much now that people can gain from going on like these big shows like like love on and stuff but i think it ruins the human side of it because we we're not really ever allowed to fuck up and the reason those people are who they are is because they were allowed to and they did yeah exactly like your moors and whoever like but there are some people still to this day that that i always say that the best people the best reality tv you'll ever watch are the richest people in the game.

30:36The richest people are always the most entertaining to watch because they don't care about what they stand to lose. So if you watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the unhingedness of that compared to someone who's got everything to lose, it's completely different. They'll scream and shout at each other and throw drinks at each other, whatever it is they do, but they don't care because they have millions and millions in the bank, so it's not a huge deal for them. yeah and so that's why like we all we love watching car crash tv like as much as we all sat there and we were literally like oh my god adam thomas jimmy bullard like the south africa thing was like a savage thing that was one of the best bits of television in the past like 10 years so as long as you can make sure that everyone's you know mental health is in the right way and that everyone's well looked after which is obviously the most important thing secondary to that it's fucking good tv but you know people turned around said jimmy bullock's ruined his career after that i don't know if he has that's what like the press was saying stuff like that and so it's like well why would anyone want to give as much because it's like you it's a it's a weird world and i started so young i started at 19 and i was really bad when i started well just 19 i was just turned 20 and i was so bad i told you i opened the door to andy jordan trying to break up with my sister 15 times because i was reshooting it i had to reshoot my first what were you doing wrong i kept on opening the door to him and going he was about to he was about so andy jordan was a cast member used to go out louise post spencer matthews and louise there was this big rivalry between andy and spencer louise was trying to get back at spencer by hooking up with andy but then they actually ended up in a relationship and they eventually broke up and he's coming around to my house i shared with louise to um to break up with my sister i my first scene is to open the door to andy and be like i'm the protective brother hi my name is sam like this is my opening to the show like you better not mess with me with my gap tooth like that yeah and so i opened the door and i panicked and i kept on like changing what i was meant to be saying and i was like mr jordan i think i know why you're here mr jordan it's just like i think i know why you're here it's just not what you say and then and then they'd be like cut and i'd be like what they'd be like you're shaking oh right and they're like why are you shaking i was like okay i'm just a bit nervous.

32:53I had to do it 15 times to the point where people were laughing at the end of it. And they were literally like, Sam, and eventually Andy, bless him, I kept on being like, I'll go put the kettle on. Andy's like, do you know what? Don't worry about it. I'll stay with her. Mate, he walked me into my own house. He walked me. He went, look, Sam, don't worry, we've all been there. And he literally, they went, action. He went, hi, Sam, I just need to see Louise quickly. And then walked me into my own home. And I was like, okay, yeah, she's upstairs. and I sat down and was like, I'm never getting asked back in my entire life.

33:20Were you ever told what to say? Only intros and outros. Really? So yeah, so they'd be like, right, you need to open the door and say hello. Okay, so what about scenes where you go on and you're like confronting somebody or you've like heard that someone's said whatever about you? Are you genuinely only finding that out on camera or are you already like, oh, blah, blah, has called you a dickhead. Yeah, you find that out on camera. That's the fun. That was the fun. I don't know if it's the same now. obviously I left like six seven years ago but like that was the fun so if I'd called you a wanker yeah I wouldn't know and I'm in some yeah cafe you know where they put the thing on the bottom so it would be you Pippa in it doesn't say my name but sometimes it would it'd be like Pippa Morgan something cafe yeah but you know what it would be we walk in you walk in and I'm sat there no no it wouldn't be that it'd be it'd be if you slagged me off it would be Annalise coming in and telling me that you would slag me off.

34:15So you're in the cafe. Annalise is like, hey, Sam. Hey, Sam. And she'd be like, how are you? And have a little laugh. She goes, well, I'll tell you who's not happy at you. And I'd be like, what? She'd be like, Pippa Morgan. I'd be like, what the fuck? And she'd be like, she called you a little balding, angry man or something. And I'd be like, well, that was aggressive. Like, and then I would be like, oh. So you find that out. Yeah. But maybe I don't know, you know. And then what would happen is they would then, that would be the pre-scene towards the finale episode where you are all going for like a dinner party those fucking random like masquerade balls.

34:44I love the dinner party ones. But they all pretend you're caked and like hide this fucking massive castle. Whereas no one has a pot to piss in. And they're literally like, like, oh yeah, like someone's hired this huge castle. Someone's throwing a summer party in the Cotswolds. And it's literally the Cotswolds in this massive house. And you're like, you get paid 200 quid an episode. Sam's 30th masquerade ball in the castle. It was never mine. It was never mine because they all knew that I couldn't pull off like having that wealth it would never be Sam's done that I was never like chic enough or cool enough so I was always I was always like a plus one at somebody's party I never was given the opportunity to throw my own so you're then walking into the party and you'd be coming over to me I come over to you and there always used to be a thing like again it wasn't so much me because I never luckily never really had like massive arguments other than I had like a few with Jamie but other than that actually no I can actually You know, I remember one moment where me and Jamie were having a massive argument.

35:44And me and him both refused to do the scene because one of us had to walk up to the other one and we refused to do it. Because someone has to go up to somebody in a scene. So you, and also, what if you're like fuming? So you're like fuming at Jamie. And I presume you ended up walking in. And if you, if you have to end up walking in. No, I didn't. He walked in. Oh, yeah, yeah. He did. He walked in. Roll the tables. And he shouted, he shouted over, over the thing. because you've got your producer over there and your producer over there and then camera's like in between and the meeting point's in the middle.

36:14And he shouted at me and be like, oh, you're such a fucking pussy. But you were like, fuck you. Says the one walking over. Yeah, exactly. And it used to be such a big thing. Whenever me and Jamie used to have arguments, he used to literally be like, oh, I'm not walking in first. But with that walk-in, are you then having to reshoot this angry walk-in like multiple times? It depends how grim the conversation is. Like if I was really fucked off with you and I had to walk in at this party to you and they're like, one more time, Pippa? I'd be like, fuck. Yeah, that happens a lot. By the time I get there, I'd be livid.

36:48The hardest job in the world, the hardest job in the world, I kid you not, is being a cameraman on one of these rally shows. Really? Well, because they draw the ire because then it's all the directors and it's like, man, I'm really sorry. I know you just be, I got binned off once and had to redo the back end of the scene. But this is your actual relationship. This is my actual life. This is my actual life. Breaking up that you just have to reshoot. it's my actual life that's amazing and they're literally like and they're like and they're like sorry i'm really sorry i'm like we just didn't quite get the right angle one more time would you mind like just like crying again or something you're literally like i i can't but like they have to make a show so like that's that's how it works or worked i don't know how it works out it might be a lot it might be more camera on the shoulder kind of vibe but like back then yeah i remember so i remember and i just want to stay i'm for the con for the record i've i'm a different man And I was a very young person when this happened.

37:37But when I was in Ibiza, I was 24 years old. And me and my ex-ex-girlfriend Tiff had broken up.

37:45And she came. And we were like on a break or something. And we had both slept with somebody without the other person knowing. And she was like, you had a threesome with somebody. I didn't, by the way. She was like, you had a threesome with somebody. I went, I didn't have a threesome. I don't know what you're talking about. and then they made me they went Sam I'm really sorry just for like can you explain like sort of like in context what a threesome is to your to your ex-girlfriend but I didn't do it and they were literally like would you mind just just doing that so like yeah it was wild so you're being accused of having a threesome and you're like no a threesome is when exactly that's exactly how it went I went no I didn't I don't know what you're talking about I don't know what you've heard that and you're trying to piece together all these things in your brain you're like who's told you that also do you know what once that's been said on camera or not guilty can't get it back guilty this is the thing so then you're livid being like i've just been painted such bad light right now the whole country things are well i haven't done anything and you're literally i don't even know what to say she's stormed off and then you're sat there with the cameraman and i always used to have a camera afterwards and he used to come to me he used to be like oh that was tough yeah every now and then we'll be on like a brand shoot or something pod related like something like you'll do the ntas or whatever i say that so casually but you know what i mean i'm just with you and you'll just spot somebody like oh da da like oh stevie oh steve-o you're right it's been ages and i'm like how do you know steve-o because i work with so many cameramen in this industry but but they but they're fucking epic like like every person who sound ease camera lads all of the people who work director producers work on on i can't speak my name in chelsea but like those kind of reality shows they're fucking jokes they'll come over to you afterwards after a really heavy scene but actually and you'll be like i'd love one please mate and they'll be like i'll tell you what i don't know how i would have dealt with that they're literally talking to you because it's like real life so after they put the camera down they're like are you all right mate yeah i guess what else can you say what can you say yeah what great memories like like when you look back on it now 34 years old and you sit there and you go what like i i i feel really sorry for people who don't who joined tv and never got to do yeah those things like we actually got to live life and like and and like get paid to do it to hang with your friends it's like the most privileged job in the world and you did break through and and it's hard to break through but yeah we did and and then yeah it was but it was an amazing time you are amazing here we are i'm a slob unpacked here we go i'm a slob unpacked which we're doing now in australia host of host of very nervous i mad nervous i'm quite nervous why for you why I just want it to go well for you it will go well now I know now you're panicking excited nervous is that the biggest thing you like have on your like goal it's a weird goal sheet I would say it's been on my hosting on Slow Unpacked it's been on my like what's like my bucket list you've been saying that for like a couple years it's been on my bucket list for a really really long time like the fact that I got given Unpacked is like such a huge deal for me personally because it means that if i do well on that i will be seen hopefully as then the next generation of serious presenter who can go on to present tv shows because that is the shangri last deal as much as we say it's not like it's interesting because i meet streamers all the time and they're like like when i say streamers i mean like twitch streamers and stuff and they all want to get into tv i know i say this to you all the time and it's funny because i want to get into what they're doing you want you will always a i think you you're very good at timing these things i think you're really good at knowing when's your time for the next thing and you're really good at them making that jump in the right way at the right time you're never like having to step on any toes you're never having to throw anyone under the bus you manage to keep relationships really well like you're i think you either have that or you don't but on the flip side of that you're like so driven and motivated that actually i wonder when you'll ever be like no i'm chuffed now yeah yeah yeah like i just wonder i won the jungle and came back i went right i know i know i worked with sam on radio when you won the jungle i remember first show back he walked in and i like ran over to you like jumped on you like screaming

for all of five minutes then you were like god Leah I just need to figure out what I want to do next year like da da da da like yeah what's next what do you think's next I was like fucking hell because I I've I one I find it and this is a self this is a bad thing by the way this isn't a good this is a bad character trait I'm really bad at sitting in the moment and being proud of myself even after the o2 really really bad at it yeah even after the run like i'm really shit at like being like like self gratification because i i don't know what it is maybe because i don't feel like i deserve it i don't know but like i yeah really i i the idea of me being like yeah i went and did that yeah you're always what's next like what are we moving on to i but it gives me the ick when it's like you when you're like you're like so when people listen and go, yeah, I did that.

43:10I did that. I'm amazing. No, I hear what you're saying but I don't think it has to be in that way. I know, but I can't. I think you could still be like, oh, I did well there. Like, oh, I won. That's cool. That's fun. Yeah. That's okay. You're like, oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's because I've enjoyed, I don't know. I do it all the time. Oh, I think it's cool. I did the jungle. I can't believe I did the jungle. You won the jungle. I've won it and like and and i do sometimes miss i i feel like i missed the boat on being really grateful not correct i was very grateful but like for like sitting in it you're very grateful but you're grateful to like for the experience and stuff like that i don't think grateful's the world i think it's yeah no i wouldn't do the all-stars thank you paul i just have too many good memories too many great memories but the fact that i get to unpack when i did it seven however many years ago when Fleur East was doing it.

44:06Like, and now, as in she was just a cast member and I remember watching her do a trial from like through the trees. And like, and then now getting to host it with Kemi, by the way, it's not just me, it's Kemi Rogers who's a fucking phenomenal host. I know Kemi, she's great. She's brilliant. She's a lovely, lovely.

46:45You're going to say yes, which is amazing. Which is amazing. I think I'll be a fun great traitor. Yeah, sure. Ask me if I'm a traitor. Are you a traitor? No. a little bit more with that marking wooden knife which can I say is now in about eight pieces as predicted sounds like taking the piss out my neurodiversity back off I used to do this when I was younger that I think like I know you always say you think I have it too yeah did you ever when you go to bed it's because I saw someone post about this on TikTok and I couldn't believe that someone else had this experience did you ever like when you go to bed think you had to speak to like everyone in your family and like tell them how much you loved them and be like I'd be like good night love you so much like good night sweet dreams love you and I'd lie in bed be like oh I didn't say love you again to my mum tonight like oh my god what if something bad happens no did you did anyone else no no one else someone else has because someone put a tiktok on where like you had to say I used to have to like before bed or like essentially in my brain like what if something bad happens like I'm not gonna say it but I'd literally be like love you goodnight my mum would be like fucking hell goodnight go to fucking bed shut up I'd like come back downstairs and say it all again Pippa used to be a proper little heart flop at school by the way she used to be a little little man eater what mate my first girlfriend was Tiff I was a late bloomer that was your first girlfriend yeah when was your first kiss first kiss was probably when I was like 14 I just can't imagine I remember it a 14 year old Sam making a move I remember it.

48:24I'm sure she does too. I went, would you like to dance? She said yes. Oh shit, you've said this. I don't know what school did you go to. She said whatever school she's at. And then you just kissed and walked away. I kissed and walked off. I went, yes, yes. Have you heard, this was the dating app I wanted to tell you about. There's a new dating app. I don't think it's new, but I think it's like doing the rounds at the moment. That my friend Ben, shout out Ben, is on. Fucking Ben. I talk about Ben a lot. Ben's joined this app. It's basically where you make profile. you have your photos you like write about yourself and prompts and things you're interested in so it's kind of like hinge i guess in that you have your thing and you can like people but when you like someone you match if they like you back you match with them and you're not allowed to speak then so you can't message you can't speak you just get like options of times to meet up and you like pick when you're free and then you just go to that place and meet them i think you'd fare quite well obviously way back when i think that would be your game i'll tell you what i think i would as well i'll tell you something i'll tell you always been my killer i'll tell you what and i'll tell you for why it's whilst i wag my finger in your face is is i always used to struggle with the preliminary yeah we all know rather than the actual meet up we've all heard your voice notes hey sam thompson here have i told you that i like to send voice notes to them without meeting them yes yeah and call yeah so many calls that's just to make them feel good make them feel like i'm not a threat you know when you know someone's in love with someone is when i when i like one of the first times i met tally i was like fucking hell yeah all those voice notes all those calls i was like i remember him calling being like oh i've just called tally and i've just been like and i was thinking fucking hell like well nice well that lasted and Tali was like, yeah, it was so sweet.

50:14Like, bless him. And I was like, oh, thank God. Yeah, yeah. She really does love you. Yeah, I know. But I just think you do quite well on just a first cold meet. You're just going cold. You've not had to message. But that's so much better. I'm fucking, I'm in. So you think that's good? Yeah. We fanny around so much with like preliminary chats. It's not a word, but you know what I mean? Where like, like, what if we've just got shit opening gambits? Like, I don't know. I don't know what you want to hear. Like, I don't know what's witty. I don't know what's clever, like, over the written word to get me in there.

50:49I would much rather, I, like, to Tally, basically begged her to go out with me on a proper date. And I went, if you don't like it, you can just leave. I was like, no, I genuinely mean it. I was like, give me 20 minutes of your time at, like, a tapas restaurant. Yeah, I love tapas. Sam used to go oh yeah we're gonna go for tapas and then hopefully tap ass every time tap ass then tap ass but I said so I was like look if you don't like it after 20 minutes if I'm not your bag and you don't fancy it honestly I just thank you for giving me the time I'll pay the bill you wouldn't mind if a girl came on a date with you sits down for 20 minutes not at all I would turn around and be like fair fucks at least you came because my whole point whether it's career or relationships right it's all the same is open the door, I'll walk through it.

51:40As long as you give me a chance, I'll do the rest. And if I don't manage to do the rest, whether it's a job interview, whether it's a date, if I don't do the rest, it's on me. Do you know what I mean? It's like, if you don't like me after you've met me face to face and I've given you my best, right? And if you still turn around and go like, no, that's not for me, then sweet. Like, that's my problem. So that's why I really like that app because then you're actually getting to see the best of somebody rather than like a witty, I find it so cringe now when like people sit there going, what do I say?

52:14I would honestly now just be like, hey, how are you? Because I wouldn't know. What on a message? Yeah, because I wouldn't know what else to say. And you sit there, do you remember how many times I would call you, Pippa, and be like, fuck, what do I say? Like, what's my opening line? What I really want to say is, hey, let me take you out. Yeah. But that's too forward. That's what I mean. So this act's class. Oh, what an era. Yeah, Annalise, you're about to have a great time. Get it Get it And then you could like Report back We could do it with you You could tell us What it's like Oh my god You just get sent A location And a time No it's not No because you've met them You haven't That's the whole point Yeah You've met them online No you haven't You haven't spoken to them Yeah but you Do you see what they're like You probably Got to put an ID in there Or something No Oh it's very for me Just helter skelter Straight in there let's just go.

53:05Imagine walking into the bar on Samsung. I've had someone so I had Tinder when Tinder first came out before it became like just a shagging act basically and it was actually four days. I can't say that I can't remember a fiance on Tinder. But you probably shagged first right? What before getting engaged? Yes before you got engaged you probably had a bump in the sheets. What were you saying? Moving on. I once had a girl walk out with me. Walk out on me. she literally walked in didn't know what she saw on a date yeah sorry she didn't sit down she didn't sit down that's just really mean she walked in looked I saw her and she walked out I think that's so poor and it was at Jack's under embargoes on the New King's Road on the New King's Road and I was sat there at Jack's I remember it so fucking well and I literally just went oh that's pretty tough I was like that's a hard one to take and you just went home I went home gamed I bet that didn't even bother you that much no no do you know I'm okay it's weird because I say I have like a rejection issue but actually now I think about it no I'm alright because I get rejected enough I've been rejected enough times that I can accept it I want to be a dad scene by the way you said this last year I'm feeling it we're another year closer I love by the way I'm going to consummate really?

54:29no that's not the words that's consummate a marriage yeah you're gonna procreate procreate I can't say that I can't say that because I'm gonna have Tali no because Tali hasn't even had a say but Tali wants kids she does want kids she wants kids within the next two years yeah fuck imagine you with a baby I think I'm getting imagine you holding a baby I think I'm nearly really yeah that's exciting I think I'm close imagine you like what are you gonna do with it fucking look after it Pippa I'm just gonna let it die Like, what are you going to do with it? I don't know, put out to pasture. Like, I'm going to look after it, rear it.

55:09You're going to rear it? Like it's a foal. God, that'll be something. Do you think I'll have a boy or a girl? Girl. I think I'll have a girl too. Do you? Yeah. You're a girl dad. No, I'd have either. But I can, I've seen you with Leo, so I can see the boy dad in you, but I still think girl. Yeah. I feel like, I feel like it would be, because I feel like a lot of people probably think I'm not quite there. No, I've noticed, I think, since you've met Ali, I think I've seen that shift in you. Oh. You're more... I think you prioritise your personal life more now than you ever have. Yeah. I think you're way better at that.

55:49I think, yeah. I think also just... Do you know what's really tough? Is trying to navigate what people know you for whilst also trying to show that you are growing at the same time. What, because you're like the young, energetic, never growing up kind of vibe? Do you know what I mean? Yeah. And it's like, and I understand why people think this, but like I think some people think that is just me. But I think you think that you have to be like super crazy and mischievous and like bouncing off the walls to maintain that. but I think it's more just who you are at your core is just fun like you love having fun you love having a good time you literally walked in the office this morning we were all like quietly tapping and you just start playing whatever song it was Michael Jackson like full volume on your speaker and make everyone start like shimmying that's more like the vibe you don't have to be like like it's just who you are though I think you just like I just think you just get older but that is who you are and that is who you will always be like fucking hell we're in deep enough now like that's who you are i just think you need to not stress about being like the young boy all the time because even when you're 45 55 60 whatever like you'll still be that's what i want you'll still be that's who you are yeah i want to have that like fun boyish thing but like also like i am just a bit old now so it's just trying to navigate that when are you having kids bippa perfect perfect context would i be a groomsman not groomsman bridesmaid no i think you do mean groomsman but your groomsman on your side bridesmaid yeah i don't think traditionally yeah but i would fucking yeah a bridesmaid i would do it yeah obviously i'll just wear a suit it's not about whether you do it it's it's not it's not what's holding me back i'd wear a suit obviously but Okay I'll bear Thank you I will bear that in mind Fucking rude Okay I'm just not sure I would have You As Like maybe you can Like come on the hen Or something Is that it?

Like I'll be freaking you out. Yeah, exactly. You'd be there like, oh, fuck. What if he doesn't turn up? What if he's not there? What if he's not there?

58:34What if he thinks that he's - What if this is wrong? What if he has a panic attack? Yeah. Like I don't think he wants to be with you. Perfect. Do you know what I want to do is when Pippa's walking down the aisle, all I want to do. And I promise you, Pippa's one of my bestest, best friends. And like, but I do just want to see you walk down the aisle and turn around and make you laugh. No, you've always said to me, this, I hadn't even known you that long and you were like, lol, when you get married it's going to be so jokes. And I was like, why? And you were like, just watching you walk down an aisle like lol.

59:06And I was like, why? And you were like, it's just not very you, is it? You're just not an aisle walker. It's just not very you. And now I'm just going to be so self-conscious when my wedding day comes thinking, well, this doesn't suit me. Going down the aisle, oh, what a fucking idiot. And I'm going to catch your eye and we're both going to know. Now it's a thing. Yeah, and now it's a thing. Why doesn't it suit me? You're not an aisle walker. Why? I don't know. You're just not. What am I? What do you want me to do? Just be standing there from the beginning when everyone walks in? I don't know.

From the publisher

With Pete away, Producer Pippa has finally been promoted from the producer seat to the big chair as she joins Sam for this week’s episode. And with no Pete around to keep us in check, there’s quite a lot to catch up on.


We have a big debrief on Bongo’s Bingo and just how much Pete enjoyed himself…turns out, he loved it so much he even got his top off.


While Pete’s been away, Sam’s been loving the girly chat in the office, so naturally we get onto dating apps and dating advice. This sparks the story of his worst date ever, where the girl walked out before she’d even sat down. Not ideal. Sam also reminisces about his early Made in Chelsea days, reveals just how real those fights actually were and shares a few behind-the-scenes secrets from his time on the show.


And finally, Sam admits he’s feeling broody and thinks he might just be ready for kids. Pippa is on hand to give her thoughts...
