The Mirror (2023)

“Sam Thompson opened up on how his undiagnosed ADHD led to frustrating moments as a child before his desire to become a father one day helped motivate the Made In Chelsea star into getting a diagnosis.

In an exclusive interview with Mirror, he said: “Even from school I always got your bad report cards but they weren’t like, ‘He’s a w****r’ it was more like, ‘He lacks focus or he doesn’t try hard enough’. I just don’t think that’s true and I didn’t quite understand, I knew something was different. I remember crying into a textbook once at school because the words wouldn’t go in, I couldn’t focus on the book.”
