Reality TV star completely unrecognisable in extraordinary throwback snap<\/p>\n

You wouldn’t know it was him! Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson<\/a> looks unrecognisable in a throwback snap with his reality TV sister Louise Thompson<\/a>. Posting a birthday tribute to Louise on her 36th birthday, Sam shared an Instagram<\/a> post with a series of photos of the siblings over the years.<\/p>\n

In his sweet post, Sam wrote: “Happy birthday to my best friend! The person I look up to the most in this world<\/a>. You\u2019ve been there for me every single day of my life at my highest and my lowest.<\/p>\n

“I am grateful for every minute that I get to annoy you. love you mate and I couldn\u2019t ask for a better sister\u2026.ps 36! you\u2019re now officially a KAREN here are some photos than you probably don\u2019t want anyone to see.”<\/p>\n

The photos showed the pair as children, with one showing them wearing matching denim dungarees, while another showed them with snorkels on paddling in the sea. One photo shows the pair looking very mid-2000s, with Louise commenting on the snap: “Sorry I am dying over slide 5. Look at both of our barnets?”<\/p>\n

Another added about the photo in question: “It’s giving Skins vibes,” referencing the iconic E4 series, which ran from 2007-2013. Sam and Louise, who have less than three years between them, have a strong bond.<\/p>\n

He recently revealed that he had started therapy after his sister ‘nearly died three times’ during the traumatic birth of her son Leo in 2021. The I’m A Celeb star shared that almost losing his sister was “one of the worst experiences” of his life and that he rushed to the hospital as soon as he heard what happened.<\/p>\n

Talking to fellow Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing on his podcast, Great Company, Sam said: “Louise nearly died three times, one was giving birth, the second was she had a haemorrhage in her uterus when she was at home, that was a really scary one.<\/p>\n

“I was at the ITV<\/a> Palooza and my mum called me and was like ‘you need to get to the hospital now.’ I was quite p***ed and it was 11pm and I got to Chelsea hospital and it was post Covid, hospitals<\/a> were still locked down, and I managed to sneak into the hospital. I managed to get into the room where Ryan [Louise’s partner] was and he was on the floor. That was one of the worst experiences of my entire life.”<\/p>\n

Louise had to have an emergency caesarean when she gave birth in 2021. During the birth, she haemorrhaged, causing her to almost die. Following the traumatic near-death experience, Louise suffered from PTSD and post-natal anxiety. She was also since diagnosed with Lupus and Asherman’s syndrome – where the walls of the uterus or cervix start to stick together due to scar tissue – and she suffered a second haemorrhage, resulting in the need for a stoma bag.<\/p>\n

Sam added: “Louise has to go through it, I mean f*** me I’ve never seen anyone as strong as she is, but that was one of the hardest times in my life by an absolute mile. I remember the doctor came in, twice, and went we can’t stop the bleeding and I was like, ‘Oh my f***ing god’. That was something I will never ever, ever forget that.”<\/p>\n
