Pete Wicks pokes fun at Sam Thompson's ex Zara McDermott's famous 'you can!'

Sam Thompson broke down in tears as pal Pete Wicks surprised him to mark half way of his 'intensely painful' 260-mile Soccer Aid Challenge on Wednesday. The I'm A Celeb star, 34, who a 'significant' injured his calf earlier in the week, threw his arms around his friend, 37, before telling MailOnline the reunion 'made his day'. As Pete strolled up, Sam became overwhelmed to see the friendly face amid day three of him cycling and running another whopping 49 miles. The TV star has been given the task to travel a mammoth 260-mile journey on both bike and foot to deliver the match ball to its new home in Old Trafford, with the hope of raising much-needed funds for Unicef. He told MailOnline: 'Seeing Pete half way made my day. the pain is so intense but this has put a smile on my face'.
