Sam addressed his followers: “2023, the year dreams came true. The best year of my life.
“I just want to come on here and say thank you and I love you. We’ve only just begun. 2024, let’s go!”
In the post’s lengthy caption, Sam added: “It’s been some year!
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tired, but when you are enjoying every second then it’s just the best feeling.
“The constant in all of that has been my digital family.
“We’ve been together annoying Pete or my sister for years and it’s always the place I come back to whenever I feel low.
“Thank you for making this the best year of my life, I LOVE YOU.”
