Watch the moment Sam Thompson is left bleeding after Pete Wicks punches him during stunt gone wrong
SAM Thompson has been left with a bloody face after filming for a funny sketch with pal Pete Wicks went wildly wrong.
Former Towie star Pete accidentally hit MIC’s Sam in the face while acting out the stunt for social media.
The 37-year-old Essex star pretended to punch his friend in the entertaining video – but it soon backfired.
Former Made In Chelsea reality star Sam, 32, and Strictly star Pete shared a behind-the-scenes clip showing the moment he falls to the ground in agony.
Sam groaned: “Oh my God!”
Pete worriedly inquired: “Is he bleeding?”
A concerned Sam asked the cameraman: “Is it really cut? Am I going to have to get it stitched up?”
He then shouted to Pete and joked: “You just battered my f****** eye.”
He shared: “You wanted the behind the scenes so here you go! He did run after me and was very sorry.”
Sam captioned the video: “Blood was spilled in the making of this.”
Famous friends, such as Celebs Go Dating‘s Anna Williamson, commented: “All in the name of work, lads.”
Geordie reality star Vicky Pattison mocked: “He does his own stunts, people.”
Strictly’s Jowita Przystał penned: “Omg, you two,” along with a smiley face.
Meanwhile, happy chappy Sam’s ex, Love Island beauty Zara, 28, is now dating One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, 33, following her break up with I’m A Celeb winner.
Back in March, Louis and Zara were spotted on a cosy dinner date at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh, after a fellow diner secretly snapped the pair together.
Sam and Zara split after five years, with him calling it one of his “lowest points”.
The couple spent last Christmas apart, with it confirmed soon after that they had ended their relationship.
