Sam Thompson shared his concern over his close friend Pete Wicks when Wicks unexpectedly went silent for 24 hours after their joint trip to Las Vegas. The two celebrities developed a strong friendship while co-hosting the Staying Relevant podcast and had been on a trip to Vegas in 2025, a notable occasion for both as it marked their first time there together. Their dynamic has seen them share memorable moments, including Wicks congratulating Thompson on his recent win on I'm A Celeb.

During a discussion on Alan Carr's Life's a Beach podcast, Wicks explained that he decided to take a day off for himself after the whirlwind trip, which alarmed Thompson and their team who began to fear for his well-being. The abrupt silence led to concerns that something serious might have occurred, highlighting the deep bond and worry that often accompanies close friendships, especially in the public eye.

The incident emphasizes the realities of celebrity life, where public figures maintain intense schedules that can lead to stress and the need for personal time. As both stars navigate their careers, such moments of disappearance can understandably lead to heightened anxiety among friends and colleagues. This instance serves as a reminder of the importance of communication and mental health, particularly for those in high-pressure environments such as the entertainment industry.
