EXCLUSIVE: TV favourite Pete Wicks opens up about his Strictly experience, new autobiography, the friend who's like 'a brother' to him and why he's determined to make memories
Pete Wicks is in demand. Even by the former TOWIE star’s standards he’s a busy man, having just released his powerful memoir Never Enough, hosted a lively red carpet at the National Television Awards with BFF Sam Thompson and begun rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing . Yes, the tattooed, swearing Essex charmer is hitting the dance floor for the show’s 20th anniversary, and it doesn’t seem to have sunk in yet.
The celebrity cast list this year is a “rag-tag bunch” who are already getting on like a house on fire, he adds. “Nobody really knows what they’re doing but we’re all there to have a good time and enjoy this adventure. There’s a lot of camaraderie, banter and funny people.” The former reality star, who describes himself as a “bloke’s bloke”, says he’s the last person he’d have imagined signing up to the dance competition. “I’m just a normal bloke from a council estate. I’ve done some mad stuff over the years, but the last thing I ever thought I’d do would be covering myself in sequins and learning dances I can’t pronounce the names of!”
Physically, this experience could be a shock to the system as Pete hasn’t seen the inside of a gym for the past nine years. But he’s ready for anything, he declares – including criticism from the famous judges. “They’re the experts – you gotta take it on the chin. I’m more than ready for that. But I am quite mouthy, so… let’s see! I just want to enjoy myself.”
