I'm A Celebrity 2023 champion Sam Thompson has revealed a surprising new career away from reality television. The 31-year-old will be voicing the character of Security Man Sam in the new Pixar movie Inside Out 2.

Sam was tagged in a post on Instagram by the Disney UK official page as they shared a behind-the-scenes clip of the former Made in Chelsea star in the studio recording his voiceover.

In the video, Sam excitedly expressed: "Hey UK Pixar fans, it's Sam Thompson here and I can't believe I'm saying this but I am playing Security Man Sam who gets himself into a sticky situation with our friendly emotions in the new Pixar film Inside Out 2.

"I'm so excited. I'm in the studio now. Bucket list tick, this is amazing." The clip went on to show Sam walking into the studio for the first time, as well as speaking to the character director and delivering his lines.

Disney UK captioned the post: "Feeling pure Joy in the recording booth with @samthompsonuk as Security Man Sam! Make sure to check it out in the UK theatrical version of Disney Pixar's #InsideOut2, in cinemas on 14th June."
