"They told my mum that if I had got to hospital 24-48 hours later, I wouldn't have made it.
"By calling the ambulance, my girlfriend literally saved my life."
Sam's liver and kidney disease has been an underlying condition through his life.
Yet it has laid dormant for the past 28 years.
After being released from hospital on Christmas Eve, he has vowed to raise awareness of his condition and sepsis on the next Made In Chelsea series.
Sam's parents are Simone and the late Mark Vanderpump.
Mark's sister is Lisa Vanderpump - a huge reality TV star in the US.
Talking of her role on Bravo series RHOBH Sam previously said: "My aunt is always extremely supportive and proud of me.
"She always gives her two cents, though – she wouldn’t be her if she didn’t keep me in check and give me advice."
