For years, they were limited to filming TikTok videos and little reality TV appearances… but now that they are older and wiser, Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks are ready to take on a more significant role – and have some very strong words for anyone who doubts them.

The best buddies have gained a new following thanks to their social media videos and smash podcast Staying Relevant.

But OG fans will recognize them best from Made In Chelsea, The Only Way Is Essex, and Celebs Go Dating, where their friendship originally developed when, as Sam says, they ‘locked eyes across the room and bonded ourselves to each other.’

While neither of them found love during the 2019 season, they did leave with a solid bromance that has lasted longer than most of the E4 show pairings.
