I think he&#8217;s a superstar just the way he is. It just takes a bit of time if you&#8217;re not used to it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s like having a big child&#8230; that&#8217;s how he sees me, I like to think it&#8217;s brotherly, but I think he sees me as his dad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He is quite obviously aggravating, however, that is the Sam that we know, and love and I specifically love. I&#8217;m hoping that he can continue being the happy puppy that he is.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Sam struggles with boredom and a lot of things because of his ADHD and autism but that shouldn&#8217;t be seen as a bad thing. I have read a lot of comments and it&#8217;s something that I believe shouldn&#8217;t define him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;People should embrace that because he&#8217;s entertaining and that&#8217;s what the show is about. He should be defined by the fact that he&#8217;s a really fun, positive guy and that&#8217;s his personality aside from having ADHD and autism.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It comes after Tony admitted the referee &#8216;saved his life&#8217; during his infamous fight against Oleksandr Usyk on Sunday&#8217;s episode.<\/p>\n<p>The boxer was soon quizzed over his career by his fellow castmates after entering the jungle last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fighter bowed out from the ring with 30 out of 34 wins in 2018, after losing to Oleksandr Usyk &#8211; who is set to be Tyson Fury&#8217;s next opponent on December 23.<\/p>\n<p>In his final match at the Manchester Arena, Tony looked to get back up after being knocked out &#8211; but referee Terry O&#8217;Connor stopped the fight.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday&#8217;s show, Tony was quizzed by Jamie Lynn Spears, Sam and Fred Sirieix about his final fight, which saw the end to his ten-fight winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>Sam asked: &#8216;What was it like fighting Usyk?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Tony replied: &#8216;Too hard. Obviously he&#8217;s amazing. I&#8217;ve fought stronger people, I&#8217;ve fought quicker people, but I&#8217;ve never fought someone like him who has got everything. He works you out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He downloads what you do. He&#8217;s downloading all the data in front of him. It takes him three rounds to do it. With me, it took him eight. And then he does it, he pulled the trigger.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/27\/19\/78253181-12796951-Funny_moment_Sam_Thompson_was_keen_to_compare_the_size_of_his_ha-a-7_1701113499859.jpg\" height=\"358\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Funny moment: It comes after Sam was keen to compare the size of his hand to his hero&#8217;s\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/27\/21\/78108193-12796951-Pals_Last_week_Sam_s_best_pal_Pete_Wicks_said_his_friend_should_-a-11_1701119777253.jpg\" height=\"688\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Pals: Last week Sam&#8217;s best pal Pete Wicks said his friend &#8216;should not be defined by his ADHD and autism&#8217; and fans need to &#8217;embrace&#8217; Sam&#8217;s excitable personality\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/27\/19\/78151787-12796951-Pete_admits_that_although_the_Made_In_Chelsea_favourite_can_be_a-a-6_1701113437449.jpg\" height=\"428\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Diagnosis: Earlier this year, Sam was diagnosed with ADHD and autism after undergoing tests in his Channel 4 documentary Is This ADHD? and said the realisation was a &#8216;weight lifted off his shoulders&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But I was exhausted, like.
