Sam Thompson details the 'mentally freeing' moment he 'let go of his tough year' in gruelling Soccer Aid challenge after split from girlfriend Zara McDermott


The Made In Chelsea star, 32, completed a 260-mile journey from London to Manchester earlier this month, despite suffering a calf injury on the first day.

The I'm A Celebrity champion split from girlfriend Zara McDermott in December after five years together, and he's since been linked with Love Island star Samie Elishi. Sam's challenge was also featured in an ITV documentary, and viewers saw the heartwarming moment he was carried to a speedboat by Tony Bellew to cross Liverpool's famous Mersey. The pair had been training together as part of the England team and reportedly held a 'peace dinner' before the match to 'ease awkwardness' over Louis, 33, dating Sam's ex Zara McDermott, 28.
