Sam Thompson left in tears over ADHD struggles as plans to become a dad led to diagnosis

Sam Thompson opened up on how his undiagnosed ADHD led to frustrating moments as a child before his desire to become a father one day helped motivate the Made In Chelsea star into getting a diagnosis.

In an exclusive interview with Mirror, he said: "Even from school I always got your bad report cards but they weren't like, ‘He’s a w****r’ it was more like, ‘He lacks focus or he doesn't try hard enough’. I just don't think that's true and I didn’t quite understand, I knew something was different. I remember crying into a textbook once at school because the words wouldn't go in, I couldn't focus on the book.

"Things like I realised something was different with me and then as I got older, a lot of colleagues and people that I worked with would be like, ‘Oh, you definitely have ADHD’ but I didn’t know what they meant."
