IAC: Sam opens up about his ADHD diagnosis<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026Get Me Out Of Here! campmate Sam Thompson bravely opened up about his ADHD diagnosis on tonight’s show detailing how it affected him. The Made In Chelsea star turned radio presenter was questioned by JLS singer Marvin Humes about his health condition.<\/p>\n

Sam was only diagnosed last year and as they sat by the Creek along with This Morning presenter Josie Gibson he revealed the details to his campmate. \u201cThere are loads of people who are actually like of a certain age who get diagnosed way later,” he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the low bits happen it goes low. But then the highs are really high. My girlfriend Zara is so steady and it\u2019s so good for me. My timekeeping is terrible,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get quite selfish, not just with her [my girlfriend], with everyone, my mates or whatever. My listening to Zara\u2026 I\u2019m just finding myself staring off at something completely different. You sort of feel like you\u2019re a bit of a k*** sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josie was quick to empathise with him as she chimed in: \u201cBut you would not be Sam without it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would just always say you\u2019ve got loads of energy. Your energy is crazy bro and it\u2019s what makes you great,\u201d Marvin added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeird no one spotted it beforehand at school,\u201d Sam pondered. \u201cBut if you look at all of my report cards, every single one says the same, it says: \u2018Likeable enough guy, but lacks focus\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s staring at you in the face. If I\u2019d known as a kid, not much would have changed, but how you feel about yourself probably changes. I remember crying into my textbook because I couldn\u2019t understand the words going into my head. You want to do good. You don\u2019t want to be mischievous or anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The scene intercut to the Bush Telegraph where Sam admitted: \u201cI\u2019m not ashamed of having ADHD in any way. But I know that I would have felt better about myself at school if I\u2019d been diagnosed with it at a younger age. I really was just like, \u2018I just suck at everything.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be a dad at some point. That\u2019s another thing, we\u2019ve got to get a handle on it. You\u2019ve got to look after a child,\u201d he told his campmates. This led Marvin to assure him: \u201cYou would be the most incredible dad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
