Mere months after their sell-out night at London’s O2 Arena, Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks are taking their podcast success to even greater heights.
The duo have announced that their company Staying Relevant Productions, which makes their hit show of the same name, has now acquired Sam’s sister Louise and her fiancé Ryan Libbey’s podcast He Said, She Said.

The show, which Louise and Ryan began last year, will be relaunched under its new ownership on Wednesday, and in a clip from the episode, the couple cement their partnership sharing they are asking Pete to be a godfather to their son Leo, four.
Louise and Ryan had previously teased that they were ‘in transit’ on their podcast’s Instagram account, as well as posting a video hinting they were ‘moving house.’
However, Daily Mail can now reveal that this move was in fact a nod to their podcast’s new home, with this being the first show Sam and Pete have acquired outside of their own since they launched Staying Relevant Productions in 2024.
In an exclusive look at the episode, Louise suggests to Ryan that Pete would be a ‘cool godparent’ in their son’s life.

It also features sweet videos of Pete and his best pal Sam playing with Leo, with Louise also confessing that the TOWIE star has also taught her son a ‘wildly inappropriate’ phrase.
She tells Ryan: ‘Pete doesn’t necessarily like that many adults but he’s very good with kids and animals.
‘I think it’s really important for Leo to have lots of cool godparents around him.’
As Ryan questions: ‘Where are you going with this?’ Louise replies: ‘Well I was thinking she could ask Pete because I did notice that him and Pete have this really strong bond. They actually have so much in common. They only eat ice creams both of them.
‘His new favourite thing to say, which is so inappropriate and for anyone listening, please don’t judge.
‘You know what his new favourite thing to say is, he says it 100 times a day now – ”blood of hell!”
Laughing, Ryan says: ‘He sat down and was like ”blood of hell”
Louise then shares: ‘Everyone would ask ”hows your holidays been? Did Father Christmas come?” and he would have gone ”blood of hell” and then they would have said ”so who have you spent some time with?”

As part of the podcast acquisition, Staying Relevant Productions will devise and implement a new social media strategy to work in tandem alongside the production of He Said, She Said to expand its digital presence in a bid to better serve both new and existing audiences.
Speaking to Daily Mail about the news, Sam said: ‘I am absolutely buzzing – to be able to work so closely with my sister and Ryan really is a dream.
‘I think anyone who knows me knows I would make any excuse to see them more and what better to now be officially professionally attached! Bring it on!’
Pete added: ‘I love Louise and Ryan, so do the entire Staying Relevant production team, so this partnership was a no brainer for us.
‘They’ve created something really special with He Said, She Said so we look forward to taking it to new levels and heights in 2026 and beyond.’
Louise went on to say: ‘I’m so excited to be moving ‘He Said She Said’ to Staying Relevant Productions.
‘The podcast has always been about real conversations, told with honesty, humour, and heart, and this feels like the perfect home for its next chapter.
‘Working with my brother’s team means we get to level up creatively while keeping everything that makes the show feel intimate, unfiltered, and genuinely us.’

Sam and Louise have shared their close bond in a string of hilarious social media videos since rising to fame on Made In Chelsea.
Meanwhile Pete, who met Sam on Celebs Go Dating back in 2017, launched Staying Relevant with the I’m A Celebrity winner back in 2022.
Since launching their podcast Staying Relevant in 2022, Sam and Pete have turned the show into their own company, and in September they sold out a night at London’s O2 Arena
Following a nationwide tour in 2024, the duo sold out a night at London’s O2 Arena last September, and have since published a Sunday Times bestseller about their close friendship.
Last year the Pair spoke about their bond in an interview with YOU Magazine, with Sam saying: ‘I’ve always been attracted to calm, strong older male friends. I need a big-brother character who balances me.’
Pete previously told Daily Mail: ‘All of my strengths are Sam’s weaknesses and vice versa, all of his strengths are the things I’m not so good at, and that kind of marries up really nicely.
‘It’s weird, it’s kind of cliche, it sounds like I’m talking about my wife, he’s kind of like the missing puzzle piece – he’ll read this and he’ll f*****g love it as well – but it’s a very weird relationship.
‘We’ve never had a row in the years of being mates, and we talk every day and spend a lot of our time together, but it just kind of works, but I think a lot of that comes from having complete trust in the other one.’
