Sam Thompson reveals how his Amazon Alexa helps him in his daily life
The 31-year-old TV star - who was crowned the King on the Jungle on the 2023 series of 'I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!' -is fronting Amazon and the ADHD Foundation's campaign to raise awareness for how people suffering from the disorder can tackle their daily challenges.
Now, Sam has showcased how he utilises his Amazon Alexa to keep himself in check by setting reminders to keep his morning routine on track.
He said: "My ADHD can make it difficult for me to leave the house as I can get easily distracted and overwhelmed with my thoughts running a million miles an hour.
"Setting up an Alexa routine has been transformative for my morning routine and I think so many others with ADHD would benefit from using this guide."
The 'Made in Chelsea' alum stars in the short film 'Leaving the house with ADHD', which presents the challenges posed to Sam in his day-to-day life as a result of his struggles with the disorder, and how his Amazon Alexa allows him to navigate those hurdles.
After starting his morning routine, Sam is seen frozen and overwhelmed by the increasing number of thoughts in his head that are vying for attention.
In an effort to calm his mind, the screen star says "Alexa, help me leave the house", which activates the device's morning routine, allowing him to start his day with confidence.
As well as the film, Amazon have unveiled a helpful guide that ADHD suffers can use to learn how to utilise their Alexa devices in an effort to keep them organised.
Meryem Tom, Amazon Alexa UK’s Managing Director, said: "We’re thrilled to learn individuals with neurodiversity find daily support with Alexa.
"By collaborating with Sam and the ADHD Foundation to produce this guide and film, we hope to empower those with ADHD to try out different Alexa features and set up a personalised routine to support them in their everyday."
