Sam Thompson's mum Karen has opened up about watching her son on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, revealing she isn't enjoying watching the ITV show.<\/p>\n

Made in Chelsea star Sam, 31, has proven to be a hit with TV viewers so far in the jungle, and Karen, who is also mum to MIC star Louise Thompson, appeared on Hits Radio Breakfast Show on Wednesday, 6 December to chat to Fleur East about her son's jungle stint.<\/p>\n

She became tearful as she was shown a video Sam had filmed for her before jetting to Australia, where he said he hoped she was proud of him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the video, Sam said: "Hello mum, you can't reply because I'm not actually here I'm in the jungle but I just wanted to say that I miss you and I hope you're proud of me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"As you know very well I've wanted to do this show for a very long time and I'm in there, we're living the dream, or I've been booted out but I still managed to do it for a little bit of time."<\/p>\n

Karen was taken by surprise by the prerecorded message. She exclaimed: "Oh my God. I'm going to cry. You shouldn't have shown me that, it's really horrible being a parent. I hope people do like him. <\/p>\n

"Not everyone likes everyone, but we are all so unbelievably proud. From my father, who I don't think has ever watched the show before, and my mother says 'Oh my goodness your father goes round everywhere telling everybody'." <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Earlier in the radio interview, Karen admitted she hasn't been enjoying watching I'm A Celeb as she finds it "nerve-racking" seeing her son on-screen. <\/p>\n

"It\u2019s nerve-wracking as it\u2019s my little boy, my child! I dread it every evening, but he is just being himself and he seems to be happy, and he looks well and that\u2019s the main thing," the mum-of-two said. <\/p>\n

Karen also revealed one of Sam's habits has made its way into the jungle as she's spotted she's been collecting sticks and twigs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She explained: "He\u2019s managed to pick up loads of sticks and branches to wander around with, and I don\u2019t know whether he does it at work, but he\u2019s never been without something sword or light sabre like in his hand to wander around with."<\/p>\n

"So, the jungle is a great place for him because they\u2019re everywhere – he can literally go around picking up swords and light sabres!"<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
