Sam Thompson, a former Made in Chelsea star, recently injured himself while completing a remarkable 260-mile trek for Soccer Aid.
Former Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson confessed he feels like ‘he’s been shot’ as he continued his journey to Old Trafford ahead of the Soccer Aid kick-off on 15 June. The radio star is on a five-day challenge, running and biking through Milton Keynes, Rugby and Solihull to reach the finish line over 260 miles.
While on his Matchball Mission for UNICEF, he suffered a calf strain and had to use a bicycle after receiving advice from a medical team. Ahead of Day Three of his mission, he spoke to Hits Radio Breakfast Show’s team, including Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr, about how his journey has been going so far.

“On the first day of my first marathon, I felt like I had been shot in the back of the leg and had to torn my calf muscle,” said the runner, “but it’s okay I’m strapped up”! he revealed the extent of his injury.
The weather was Sam’s strongest experience of the day after finishing his grueling day two.
He said, “Having Chris with us kept me going even though my back was aching.”
My leg keeps letting me down, despite the unpleasant conditions and aches and pains I can deal with. I cycled out the pitstop determined to make it as far as I could toward the stadium and attempted to run into Villa Park after being told at the last pit stop that I could try to run the final few kilometers to test my leg and recover.
“I’ll do it if I have to wake up at 4 am every morning for the rest of the week to finish this,” I said. By Friday, I’ll be arriving in Manchester. I’m so appreciative of everyone who has already stepped up and donated, which is what keeps going.
His best pal Pete Wicks shared his support for the radio star during his challenge. Sam burst into tears upon seeing his close pal.
Sam clocks Pete, 36, who rushes over to give his friend a big hug while being seen as sweating, limping, and bandaged up in his knee.
The I’m A Celebrity winner, who was clearly stunned, cried and spluttered, saying, “Thank you so much for coming,” “Pete said:” Don’t be silly. as if I had no intention of coming. You are so amazing. You’re killing it, yo!
Pete insisted that you are smashing it, but Sam conceded, “I’m not smashing it.” Do you have any plans? You’re smashing it, then.
Sam then said, “I’m not the guy, man,” in a heartbreaking manner. Pete said, “You are the guy, and you are the guy,” making his friend even tighter. You were the guy before this began, and you are now.
