I’m A Celeb’s Sam Thompson and Towie star Pete Wicks warned by police after reports of ‘creating a disturbance’
SAM Thompson and Pete Wicks were warned by police for “creating a disturbance” on their huge nationwide tour.
The best pals have become one of the nation’s best-loved double acts and their live podcast show Staying Relevant has taken venue’s around the country by storm.
The attention-loving duo’s chosen method of transportation is anything but subtle, and the tour bus plastered with their faces on led to stern words from the law.
Speaking to the Mail, Sam said: “We’ve only just been told today… we got reported by the Nottingham Police for the tour bus.
“Apparently, we created a disturbance on the roads, and basically, they were like, we can’t have people honking their horns at you all the time because we had our faces plastered all over the tour bus.
“And, and so because as we were coming through Nottingham, there were literally so many cars beeping us and passengers were filming us and stuff like that.”
The duo’s April run of dates quickly sold out and proved so successful they’ve announced more shows for September.
In a nod to debauched gigs of the 80s, the boys have been showered with underwear and love letters while speaking on stage.
Though Sam humbly suggested the majority were aimed at Pete.
The Made In Chelsea star has seen his fame skyrocket after winning I’m A Celebrity in December.
He landed a new gig as This Morning‘s roving reporter, bringing his boundless energy to the ITV show on location.
Not only is Sam thriving, but so is his girlfriend Zara McDermott, who is tipped to star in the jungle this year having already appeared on Strictly and Love Island.
Speaking to Gaby Roslin on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, Zara said: “Who knows, you never know what’s going to happen. I don’t know if I could follow his crowning. How could I ever follow that?”
Zara was competing in Strictly at the time of Sam’s win, when asked how she felt watching him on-screen, she said: “The end of Strictly and the jungle overlapped so I couldn’t go but his best friend Pete went out there. It was lovely for them to have that moment.”
