Sam moaned of the choice: "F**ck me we are getting over taken by Bradley Walsh's son he's not even genuinely just been like 'I'll do it'

"He's the new nemesis - Barney is the new f**king nemesis."

Revealing his current rival - and jokingly sparking feud speculation - Pete added: "Roman Kemp has been taken over by Barney Walsh."

Sam continued: "Do you know what I always knew I had aimed too high with Roman Kemp being a nemesis I always knew it.

"He's Jordan North's f**king nemesis that's where they are at.

"Barney Walsh is our nemesis and he's not even in the game."

In a previous episode of the podcast, where Sam's girlfriend Zara McDermott joined the pair, she told how she would like to see Sam on The One Show.

He cattily swiped about Roman taking jobs and said: "Roman Kemp is on The One Show - my nemesis has beaten you there."
