Sam, who rose to fame on the third series of the ITV2 dating reality hit, initially hit back over the trolling comments as he expressed his ‘upset’ at what fans had to say.
Some of the comments that Sam received included: “I thought he was wearing a gum shield,” while another joked, “Like a fresh piano.”
Someone else penned: “Are there even gaps inbetween them or are they just 2 blocks.”
One fan even was left comparing the star to the 1994 film character The Mask.
Now the Geordie Shore star has insisted that he has been “forced” to make a change to his signature smile by seeking out even more dental work in Turkey.
Sharing a video of him enjoying a luxury first class flight to the surgery hotspot on TikTok, Sam said that the comments he received had left him seeking a fix to stop the trolling.
In the clip, he said: “I can’t believe I’m doing this but here I am on the way to Turkey.
“I absolutely love my veneers but to be honest, waking up every single day with thousands and thousands of comments and messages saying ‘they are the worst teeth I’ve ever seen,’ it makes you feel a bit insecure, it gets you down.”
Explaining how he loved their look, he then confessed: “I’ve been made to come and get them done, or re-done, by everybody’s comments so I hope you are all proud.
“It has cost me £3,500 to get the flight to get them done because of all of your comments.”
Some fans were then more sympathetic toward the ex of Chloe Ferry as he expressed his disdain with one saying: “If you love them keep them. Don’t change for anybody.”
As another added: “Bro noooooo, they look great my guy.”
However, many were left unconvinced, especially as he insisted he was correcting the ‘Turkey teeth’ look by heading right back to Turkey.
Many of his followers argued that Sam was in ‘on the joke’ and he was instead going to get his real veneers after living with temporary teeth until they were ready.
One fan wrote: “I feel he’s been pulling our leg this whole time and they were just his temps and he’s going to get his proper ones now they’ve been custom made….”
A second posted: “There temporary ones. he is going back to get his real veneers. He is taken the p*** with everyone.” [sic]
Before a third added: “They were 100% his temporary veneers now he’s going back to get the proper ones in.”
