Made In Chelsea star Sam Vanderpump has revealed that he has been given a life expectancy of four to five years unless he can get a liver transplant. The entrepreneur, 28, who is the nephew of Lisa Vanderpump, has been diagnosed with end-stage liver disease after he was born with two rare conditions: congenital hepatic fibrosis of the liver and polycystic kidney disease. Sam shared about his health problems on an episode of Made In Chelsea on Monday, telling his co-star Ollie Locke: 'There is no hope of my liver getting better and he said I wouldn't be having this call with you if I thought you could make it through the next four or five years. They're sending me for liver transplant assessment, so yeah.' He was asked about how he is feeling now, and said: 'The way I look at it is I'm healthy now, hopefully I will remain healthy all the way up until I'll get a call and go in for surgery, and then I wake up and I'll be healthier.' Although he had pre-existing liver and kidney conditions, Sam lived a normal life until his health took a turn for the worse in December 2024 when he got the flu. He suffered a severe asthma attack and weeks of flu-like symptoms before he was diagnosed with sepsis, and his organs stopped functioning properly, and he feared he was facing death. Thankfully, Sam recovered and was discharged fromthe hospital before Christmas, but is now on a list waiting for an organ transplant. Following his life-threatening battle with sepsis, Sam proposed to his girlfriend Alice Yaxley, and the couple is now expecting their first child together.
