Sam Vanderpump Reveals End-Stage Liver Disease Requires Urgent Transplant

Sam Vanderpump, the 28-year-old nephew of Lisa Vanderpump and star of the UK reality show Made In Chelsea, revealed he has been diagnosed with end-stage liver disease and requires a liver transplant to survive beyond four to five years. He shared this grim prognosis during a recent episode of the show, explaining that his doctors indicated there is no hope for his liver to improve, but he remains optimistic about maintaining his health until a transplant is possible. Previously, Sam was hospitalized with sepsis and complications due to a genetic liver condition and polycystic kidney disease, which increased his risk of kidney failure. Despite these challenges, he is engaged to Alice Yaxley, with whom he is expecting their first child, and their relationship has been strengthened through these health struggles. Sam has also used his platform to raise awareness about the shortage of organ donors, hoping to inspire others through his openness about his condition. His story highlights both the personal impact of serious chronic illness and the critical need for organ donation support.
