Somehow former Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson has managed to do the impossible and turn his love of reality TV into a fully-fledged career.

He's now the co-host of the official Love Island podcast called Love Island: The Morning After with Love Island 2022's Indiyah Pollack and a regular on Aftersun which airs every Sunday.

His new role started in 2023 with the Winter Love Island series and luckily fans adored him and Indiyah so much that they returned for the current summer series.

It's clear from Sam's latest comments on Aftersun that he adores the show and loves keeping everyone up-to-date with his thoughts on each series.

His 60-second round-ups at the beginning of each episode genuinely bring us (and him) so much joy. In fact he even shouted, 'I LOVE these things!' when Maya told him to take it away.

But as much as Sam loves it, he's also not afraid to mock it, and now that the summer series of Love Island 2023 is here, we've been rewatching iconic Sam Thompson TikToks including his reaction to his girlfriend Zara McDermott's ex Adam Collard re-entering the villa and of course the video where he spoofs the Love Island introductory tapes.

And we can't lie, they're absolutely spot on. Wearing the blonde wig you'll have no doubt seen before if you follow Sam, the reality star pretended to be four imaginary islanders heading into the villa. But we wouldn't be surprised if any of them actually walked on to the show.

In the side-splitting video, Sam dons some of Zara's bikinis to become two fictional women called Amy and Jessica. But he also took aim at the boys of the villa, pretending to be a posh man called Tarquin from Fulham - sound familiar? - and a lad with an incredibly questionable Mancunian accent.

Stand-out lines from the skit include: 'Yeah, I do definitely like the attention - but I am here for love', 'Yes, I had an affair with a footballer, no I can't say who - let's just say I definitely mounted him' and the classic, 'Girls don't really like me, I definitely have more male friends than girls - I'm one of the lads really.'

But - as Zara commented - his best line was: 'If I was to describe myself in 3 words, it would be fun, funny and just overall a good laugh.'
