ITV viewers call out awkward moment I’m A Celeb’s Sam Thompson makes huge blunder in front of weeping Jamie Lynn Spears
I’M A Celebrity fans were less than impressed with Sam Thompson’s advice to Jamie-Lynn Spears.
The cringe-worthy moment aired in last nights I’m a Celebrity episode, where Jamie Lynn Spears could be seen sobbing to her campmates Danielle Harold and Sam Thompson.
Her outburst happened away from camp, when she became overwhelmed with feelings about missing her children.
Danielle and Sam were quick to comfort her though.
But, Sam’s advice was later dubbed “hilarious” by viewers as he made an obvious blunder.
The TV favourite attempted to soothe Jamie-Lynn by stating that he has two cats at home, so he “gets it”.
Jamie-Lynn could even be seen smirking as she shook her head at Danielle and repeated Sam’s words, “two cats”.
Viewers couldn’t believe his faux pas though and flocked to social media to react.
One joked: “Obsessed with Sam comparing Jamie-Lynn missing her kids to him missing his cats.”
Another stated: “I’m being deadly serious, Sam is hilarious, comparing his cats to Jamie-Lynn’s kids.”
A third exclaimed: “Sam saying he relates to Jamie coz he misses his cats.”
It comes after the star threatened to quit the show after being brought to tears.
She appeared to be considering walking out on the show after her campmates failed to win her luxury item in a tough challenge.
It tipped Jamie over the edge, to the point where she later admitted: “I just wanna see my kids that’s it. I’m struggling.”
Earlier in the day, she broke down again and said: “I don’t know how I’m so emotionally weak.”
She wept: “Why am I crying so much? Josie has a baby at home… I’ve just got to sort myself out. I’ve got to get it together.”
