He also praised his girlfriend, former Love Island star and Strictly contestant Zara McDermott.
Sam explained: "My girlfriend Zara is just so steady and it is so good for me.
"When she goes steady I go like that [up and down] so it is so nice to have someone keeping you going."
He continued: "My time keeping is terrible and sometimes I get quite selfish and it's not just with her it's with everyone.. my listening to Zara whenever she's talking, sometimes Zara will listen to me and I'll come back full of energy like 'oh you'll never guess what I've just done' and I'll say what have you done to her and as she's explaining I find myself staring off at something completely different.
