Sam Thompson recently shared that he will undergo surgery that will temporarily affect his ability to speak. The TV personality confirmed the upcoming operation during a conversation with his close friend Pete Wicks on their podcast, Staying Relevant. This revelation coincided with Pete sharing his own health issues.
The 37-year-old former TOWIE star mentioned that he had a fall at home over the holidays and is seeking advice for the incident. Sam chimed in during the discussion, highlighting that both he and Pete will be undergoing surgery this year. Pete hinted at Sam’s surgery being related to a potential music venture, indicating that Sam is having surgery on his vocal cords.
Sam clarified to Pete that he has a cyst on his vocal cords, which necessitates its removal, leading to three days of vocal rest following the procedure. According to the NHS, vocal cord nodules are benign swellings that develop from prolonged vocal strain.
Despite the upcoming surgery, it is uncertain whether Sam’s new girlfriend will support him throughout the process. Sam had previously shared his relationship status with Pete on their podcast, expressing excitement about his new relationship with Talitha Balinska.
Sam and Talitha went public with their relationship last month and celebrated Christmas together. Recent photos shared by Sam on social media, including a cozy snapshot with his cat, sparked rumors about his relationship status. However, a subsequent Instagram post featuring Sam and Talitha together with smiles and a red heart emoji dispelled any doubts about their relationship.
