'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' star Sam Thompson is "not ashamed of having ADHD in any way".
Sam Thompson has discussed his ADHD diagnosis
The 31-year-old TV star was diagnosed with ADHD and autism last year, and he's discussed his experiences with campmates Josie Gibson and Marvin Humes.
Sam shared: "[It happened] last year, mate. There’s loads of people who are actually like of a certain age who get diagnosed way later. When the low bits happen it goes low. But then the highs are really high."
Sam explained how ADHD influences his life. The TV star also heaped praise on his girlfriend Zara McDermott.
He said: "My timekeeping is terrible. I get quite selfish, not just with her [my girlfriend], with everyone, my mates or whatever. My listening to Zara … I’m just finding myself staring off at something completely different. You sort of feel like you’re a bit of a kook sometimes."
Sam regrets that he wasn't diagnosed with the condition earlier in his life.
He said: "I know that I would have felt better about myself at school if I’d been diagnosed with it at a younger age. I really was just like, ‘I just suck at everything.'"
Meanwhile, Josie quit the latest Bushtucker Trial after huge spiders were dropped on her head.
The TV presenter shouted "I'm A Celebrity....Get Me Out Of Here!" after he accepted that she couldn't overcome her phobia of spiders.
Prior to the trial, Josie admitted: "I've got a serious phobia of spiders.
"I'm the only idiot in the world who would sign up to 'I'm A Celebrity' with proper phobias."
Despite this, Josie, Marvin, Fred Sirieix, and Danielle Harold still managed to claim four out of ten stars for the camp.
