While the main programme is filmed on the sunny Balearic island, Aftersun is shot back home at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.

Sam also hosts his with best pal and TOWIE favourite Pete Wicks, 35 - where he opened up on a long-running telly rivalry.

The pair were chatting about Bradley Walsh and his son Barney being chosen to front the BBC's Gladiators re-boot.

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'

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."
