Sam Thompson mortified as Pete Wicks reads old thirsty tweet from Love Island star

Sam Thompson was left mortified as Pete Wicks reads old thirsty tweet from Love Island star.

The former Made in Chelsea star, 32, was joined by his best friend to record an episode of their Staying Relevant podcast, when Pete dug up an old tweet directed towards Sam.

At first, reading out the tweet, Pete said: "Where do I apply to sit on Sam Thompson's face? Asking for a mate." Sam looked shocked but then proclaimed that he knew who had sent the flirty message, and disclosed that she is currently a contestant of this year's edition of the ITV2 reality show.

Bursting into laughter, Sam said: "No way!" before claiming that the person behind the tweet was in fact Helena Ford, who is just days away from the Love Island final and has been coupled up with footballer Harry Cooksley on and off since her time on the series began.

Pete explained: "She tweeted this in 2017," and Sam described her as one of the 'main characters' on the programme.

Pete pointed out to the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! winner that the two will cross paths when he makes an appearance on Aftersun, and put pressure on his pal to bring up the tweet. He added: "I don't mind coming on to ask her!", to which Sam simply laughed.

Teasing what he would ask Helena if he met her, Pete said: "So, Helena, what do you think of Sam's face? Do you want to sit on it?" Sam admitted that no one had ever done such a thing to him before and Pete immediately noted that he wanted to 'dig into' the situation further. "

It comes after a dramatic night on Love Island for air hostess Helena, 29, and couldn't believe what they were seeing, as Harry called out Helena amid his flirty comments with Shakira during Thursday's instalment.

During the Grafties, Harry and the rest of the villa were shown a clip of Helena from weeks ago when she told a co-star that she wasn't all in for Harry after their on/off couplings. Harry seemed shocked by this, claiming at the time Helena had told him she was all for him.

So to see Helena claim otherwise left him stunned, while this was weeks ago before they gave things another go, and before they went "exclusive".

Just hours earlier, Helena was left in tears when she found out Harry was having chats with 'ex' Shakira after their constant triangles across the series. While Harry had told Helena that Shakira admitted she still liked him and was trying to get over the situation, he failed to mention his flirting and how he'd told Shakira they should go on a date outside of the villa. Not only that, but he suggested to Dejon he still liked Shakira too, or at least that he hadn't fully processed what happened between them because he moved straight on with Helena.

Helena was left crying over the situation, as other Islanders called out Harry's behaviour. So when the Grafties kicked off and the clip of Helena played, Harry's reaction shocked everyone, including viewers tuning in.

He claimed to be bothered about Helena not being honest with him, and Toni immediately picked up on Harry "trying to pick a fight" with Helena just hours after he learned Shakira still liked him. Viewers believed Toni was onto something, and they too questioned if he had an agenda.

Fans immediately suspected Harry was "looking for an out" with Helena, and was perhaps trying to force her to end things, or make it seem as though she was the cause of their split, if a split happened. Fans accused Harry of looking for a way to end things without coming across as the bad guy.

Slamming his antics as "diabolical" and "shameful", fans said they knew exactly what he was doing. One viewer said online: "I think Harry is trying to pick a fight with Helena so he can end it and make her seem like the villain… not on."

Another fan agreed: "Nah Harry really gonna pick a fight here so he can try and crack on with Shakira again. He’s an actual piece of s**t." A third fan said: "Harry we know why you’re tryna pick a fight have some shame."

A fourth fan commented: "Harry is a sick sick man picking a fight with Helena so he has an out is diabolical." A further comment read: "HARRY IS A VILLAIN. HE IS GOING TO USE HELENA’S ACTIONS TO PICK A FIGHT AND FREE HIMSELF LIKE HE AINT BEING DOING ALL THAT AND THEN SOME!!!!"
