I’m A Celeb viewers were left in hysterics as Sam Thompson ‘fanboyed’ over Tony fellow campmate Bellows on Saturday, branding it the ‘cutest thing’ they’d ever seen.
The Made in Chelsea star, 31, couldn’t contain his excitement when he finally came face to face with the boxer, 40, after the two camps merged.
Sam quickly offered his hero a seat on his bed before asking for a hug and wrapped his arms tightly around the beefy sportsman.
Fans were loving the displays of affection and took to X, formerly known as Twitter, with one writing: ‘Sam fanboying over Tony is the most golden retriever thing I’ve ever seen omg’.
With a second saying: ‘Sam getting so excited about Tony Bellew has got to be the cutest thing I’ve seen’.

Overwhelmed: The Made in Chelsea star couldn’t contain his excitement when he finally came face to face with the boxer after the two camps merged
And: ‘Get yourself someone who is as happy to see you as Sam Thompson is to see Tony Bellew’.
A fourth commented: ‘I love how star struck Sam is with Tony he’s so cute’.
While a fifth added: ‘Sam “can I hug you or not” to Tony Bellew omg he is the sweetest’.
It comes after viewers branded Nella Rose ‘insensitive’ after she told Sam to ‘calm down’ earlier this week.
The influencer, 26, was nervous ahead of her latest trial and found Sam’s excitable nature and mention of spiders too much to handle.
Nella spoke to EastEnders star Danielle Harold, 31, about the situation before making the Made in Chelsea star who has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) sit down for a moment of silence and ‘zen’.
ADHD is defined by a short attention span and poor impulse control, with Sam diagnosed with the condition in 2022.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer said: ‘Nella… it’s called ADHD, educate yourself’.

While a second wrote: ‘If Nella took a step back and considered someone else’s feelings other than hers she’d remember Sam has ADHD’.
A third said: ‘Again, i’m not attacking her at all. I like Nella. but from a perspective of someone who works with people with ADHD, i know how the way she communicated it, wasn’t the right way. people with ADHD don’t need to be patronised.. that’s all!’.
Someone else typed: ‘RIGHT WTF WAS NELLA TRYING CALM A PERSON WITH ADHD DOWN’.`
And: As a fellow ADHD’er, seeing Nella talking about Sam like the way she was and saying he needs to calm down actually hurt, you can see he doesn’t mean harm bless him’.
Another wrote: ‘Why is Nella talking to Sam like he’s a child? He has ADHD and cannot help being overly enthusiastic/loud at times. Shut up man’.
While someone else said: ‘That was so unfair for nella to say that about sam hes so lovely and his energy is so infectious he cant help the way he is he has ADHD she doesn’t understand!’
