"He's got my vote": I'm A Celeb fans praise "kind" sporting legend

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! viewers have praised former rugby league star Sam Thaiday for his kindness to other campmates while in jungle. 

In one clip, Thaiday was seen helping Reggie Sorenson - who emotionally shared the story of her worsening eyesight - navigate her way around the camp. 

I'm A Celeb's social accounts shared the clip of Sam guiding Reggie up a set of stairs towards the bathroom and making sure there were no spiders in the toilet, before Reggie told the cameras, "He is really my guide dog in here."

The show wrote alongside the video, "The world needs more Sam Thaidays!"

Many viewers agreed, with one person saying, "So good to see a different side to Sam Thaiday rather than the guy on the footy field. What a nice, kind man."

"He creates such a safe space for Reggie and is so thoughtful in all he does," another said.

"Loving getting to know Sam," another said. "Legend on the field... Legend of a gentleman."

"Sam's one of the nicest humans out," a third wrote. "He's like that in real life. I've met him and treated me just as nice."

"What a true gentleman and support for Reggie!" someone else said. "He has my vote!"

"What you see, is what you get with Sammy," yet another agreed. "A heart of gold."
