Sam Thompson grilled about flirty messages with Love Island's Helena

Sam Thompson was given a grilling live on air as he appeared on This Morning after it was revealed he'd exchanged flirty messages with Love Island's Helena Ford. In August 2025, the former Made In Chelsea star recounted how he'd been invited to the ITV2 show's Hideaway, the Love Island villa's private room, after Helena, 29, made a steamy remark about him. Helena made the offer to Sam in 2017 ahead of the Love Island final, in which she had asked where to apply to 'sit on Sam Thompson's face'. Sam revealed on his podcast with Pete Wicks that when he met face to face with Helena at the filming of Love Island's spin-off Aftersun, she made yet another cheeky jibe asking 'if the Hideaway was free' there and then.
