SAM Thompson was all hugs as he was reunited with his best pal in camp on a night out.
The King of The Jungle looked incredibly excited to be back with Tony Bellew as they partied in Liverpool.
Sam, 31, was joined by his ultimate bestie Pete Wicks as they met up with the stars of this year's show.
Taking a snap in the lift, Sam could hardly contain himself as he wrote: "Guess who we're going to see??" with a laughing-crying and eyes emoji.
Filming himself sneaking up on the champion boxer, he had the biggest grin, while Tony was none the wiser.

"Back where I belong," Sam wrote as he gently stroked Tony's ear.
Tony suddenly realised that Sam was behind him and he wrapped his arm around him, saying "Some things never f****** change do they?"
"Tony Bellew! Tony Bellew!" Sam shouted to the camera as Tony licked his finger and stuck it in Sam's ear.
In another snap, Sam was seen hugging Tony from behind, which was a common sight in the jungle.
Sam was elated to meet his hero Tony on the ITV show and didn't try and cover up hide his joy.
He would often run up and jump on the athlete and even gave him his "Teddy T" nickname.
The two created a close bond and even enjoyed time together on the beach with Tony's sons after the show wrapped up.
Soon after the show ended, Sam revealed that he was struggling to cope without Tony in a funny post on Instagram - where he sent Tony his first voice note.
Tony later took to his own page to share a cryptic post about friendship.
A man in the video said: "Stop calling motherf***ers man. Stop calling motherf***ers and see who call you.

Sam told Tony: "I slept really, really well last night mate, from about 9pm to about 8am."
He then added: "Don't feel obliged to reply to this voice note with a voice note, you can text instead.
"But I will be coming up to Liverpool incredibly soon."
