"Last time I stood here I was working," he said. "I was building it with my dad when I was working in construction, so I was making the floors - that's why they're all wonky.
"Last time I was here I was building the place with my dad. It's just mad."
Sam rose to stardom through TikTok, after posting music covers during the first coronavirus lockdown in March 2020.
He came second in Eurovision in May, making it the highest place the nation has finished since 1998, just losing out on the top spot to Ukrainian rap group Kalush.
He's become a fan favourite since his Eurovision success and it was only announced this week that he was joining the #CapitalSTB lineup.
Despite the little notice, he certainly didn't disappoint! He had fans up on their feet, dancing along and even dads singing all the words.
