Sam Thompson statement shared after his ‘tears’ at TRIC Awards with Pete Wicks

Sam Thompson’s TRIC Awards celebrations turned emotional as he was spotted crying and hugging Pete Wicks outside the afterparty.

Sam, 33, and Pete, 37, had just won Best Podcast for Staying Relevant. The TRIC Awards took place at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Tuesday.

According to The Sun, photographers spotted the pair outside after the bash. Pictures showed them deep in conversation late into the night.

The Sun said Sam looked visibly upset. He gestured animatedly, then pulled Pete in for a hug.

What sparked Sam Thompson’s emotion at the TRIC Awards?

The images raised questions because the exchange looked intense. Sam threw his arms in the air while talking to his close friend.

Moments later, he appeared tearful and hugged Pete on the shoulder. But Sam’s representative said the emotion came from the scale of the win.

A representative for Sam told The Sun: “Sam and Pete were absolutely thrilled and very emotional to have won Best Podcast Award at the TRICS for the second year running.

“Staying Relevant is such a passion project for them so to receive such a special accolade twice felt all the more special. Happy tears were flowing from the whole team.”

That statement points to joy, not fallout. Still, only those involved know exactly what they said outside.

Earlier, the night looked very different

The podcast launched in 2022. Since then, it has expanded into live tour shows and a paperback book.

Before the emotional scenes, Sam and Pete celebrated in much lighter fashion. The Sun shared footage of Sam reacting wildly when Staying Relevant won.

He jumped around in excitement and sent a chair flying. When he accepted the award, Sam said: “That’s mad! Wahey!”

Pete then joked that Sam had prepared a speech. Sam replied: “No! I just didn’t wanna say the word f***, oop!”

He quickly covered his mouth after swearing. Pete fired back: “Don’t do that!”

The podcast’s Instagram account also celebrated the result. In a post, the team wrote: “SECOND YEAR IN A ROW BABY.
