In his podcast Staying Relevant, he said he had received some bad news that day, but he also confirmed that he had not cried.
“I didn’t cry, I didn’t really cry. I want to let everyone know that now.
‘Look, you can’t get around that. I actually got some bad news, so I was actually really sad. I’m not going to lie, but I was.’
Sam explained that Pete had taken him to the back of the hotel to comfort him and give him a shoulder to cry on.
He explained: ‘I let it go, I let it all out. I headbutted Pete on the shoulder. I get a pat on the armpit and he’s such a good friend who’s like “I’m always here for you blah blah blah” and I feel sorry for myself.’

He ended: ‘I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Everything is fine now, but it was a tough old time.
