Sam Thompson has revealed how his I’m A Celebrity co-star Marvin Humes has supported him through his split from Zara McDermott.
It was revealed by MailOnline that the pair separated in December after five years together with Zara, 28, moving out of the Chelsea home she shared with Sam, 32.
Speaking on his Staying Relevant podcast on Valentine’s Day, the TV personality told his best friend and co-host Pete Wicks how he’d been on a ‘man date’ with Marvin.
‘The reason why you went out is really nice,’ Pete said.
Sam began: ‘He wanted to check in with me and make sure I was ok because he knew everything had been a bit s*** recently.
‘He took the time on a Monday evening to take the time away from his wife and kids to spend time with me, I almost shed a tear.’

‘You have done that to me as well,’ Sam added before explaining how Pete often calls him up to check in.
‘It’s been difficult for Sam and it was his week with the kids,’ the former TOWIE star said.
Laughing, Sam confirmed: ‘Pete means the cats. I did have the cats round for a couple of weeks, I got given the cats.’
Sam and his ex Zara shared two cats together, Albus and Cedric.
Recently he hinted that he may not be to blame for his split from girlfriend Zara as he shed light on their breakup for the first time.
Speaking on Love Island’s Morning After podcast, Sam was asked whether he would date someone his family – which includes sister and Made In Chelsea co-star Louise who is a next-door neighbour – disliked.
‘Absolutely not,’ the I’m A Celebrity winner told co-hosts Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack. ‘No chance. I live next to my sister and I’m very lucky my sister has liked all my girlfriends, which is great.
‘Most of the time when we break up it is my fault in my sister’s eyes. My sister will look at me and go, “what have you done?” every time. And I’ll be like, “it’s not even me!”

The revelation comes after Sam’s best pal Pete Wicks poked fun at him for ‘crying’ over his ex-girlfriend.
On their Staying Relevant podcast, the pair discussed how Sam and Zara filmed what turned out to be a very awkward TV show before their shock split.
The exes took part in the infamous Midnight Gameshow skit on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, which aired just weeks after their break-up.
Pete started the conversation by saying: ‘We’re going to talk through our staying relevant moments from the week.
‘Sam’s has mostly consisted of crying but there has been other things that have happened.’
Sam awkwardly laughed, before Pete added: ‘So should we start with your staying relevant moments? That’s why he’s wearing the glasses actually.’
Zara and Sam began dating in 2019 after Made In Chelsea star Sam slid into Zara’s DMs on Instagram.
