‘Me and Sam have got such big things planned for this, although I need to constantly reign him in on his crazy ideas. We think the fans are going to love what we’ve got in store though!’

Sam, who was crowned King Of The Jungle during I’m A Celebrity 2023, added: ‘As if I thought this year couldn’t get any more crazy, we’ve only gone and added more tour dates after it sold out in under an hour.

‘Two of my all-time favourite things are Pete and the podcast, so the fact we can road trip for even longer makes me so happy. Next we’ll be going global!’

Tickets for the new dates go on sale at 12pm on Thursday December 21.

Staying Relevant was launched by Pete and Sam in 2022. It has recently celebrated over 5 million downloads and has hit (and held) the coveted No.#1 Comedy chart spot on numerous occasions.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 31, was sensationally crowned King Of The Jungle for the 2023 of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on Sunday night.

Sam jumped into the arms of runner-up Tony when hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec lan Donnelly announced the results, before admitting he was ‘overwhelmed’.

He said: ‘I’m really overwhelmed, I didn’t think I’d even be invited on the show. I don’t know what to say.’

Asked what he had to say to those who had voted for him, he tearfully said: ‘I’m so grateful, thank you so much. I’ve dreamed of doing this show for years and years and you’ve made a boy’s dream come true.’

Tony wasn’t too disappointed to have finished second as he felt his new friend was a more than worthy winner.

He said: ’10 days ago, I knew. I knew when I first met him, I’ve never met a person like him… He deserves it more than anything and I couldn’t be happier.’

Sam is set to reach new heights of success after his I’m A Celeb win – and i s even said to be lined up for This Morning.

The tour will kick off in April, just a few months after Sam’s stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! where he has emerged as a viewer favourite

All of the eliminated I’m A Celebrity campmates had backed Sam to win the 2023 series.

Speaking to Ant and Dec after her elimination, Danielle said: ‘Sam, please vote for Sam… he’s such a trooper, he’s such a great guy.’

‘[Sam’s] literally become a brother to me. We’re both a bit crazy, bubbly and loud, probably got on everyone’s nerves down there… he made me laugh so much,’ she went on.

‘I thought [his energy] was brilliant, I’m egging it on. You need someone down there with energy constant, when you dip, you need someone to bring you back up, and that’s Sam.’
