Pete Wicks has told how he and Jowita Przystal as they shared an update from the training room ahead of week one of Strictly Come Dancing 2024.

The new series kicked off last weekend with the pre-recorded launch show which saw Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman welcomed the new crop of celebrities to the ballroom for the first time as the 15 pairings for this year's BBC One dance contest were unveiled.

During the show, it was revealed that reality star and podcast host Pete has been paired with Jowita, who won the competition back in 2022 with wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin.

When asked by Claudia if having Jowita by his side makes it all worthwhile, Pete enthusiastically responded: "Oh, 100%! The little pocket rocket? I’ve got this in the bag now, I’ve changed my mind – I’m going to win it."

Jowita then shared a snap of themselves in training ahead of the first live show on Saturday (September 21) where the first dance has been confirmed as a Paso Doble. But Pete didn't seem too confident as he replied to his dance partner: "Yes to you…couldn’t have asked for a better partner! I’m sorry in advance."

Now, Pete has revealed that he and Jowita got a bit of a ticking off for not posting on social media this week about their progress in rehearsals. In a video posted to his Instagram Story, Pete said: "Right, so, we've been told off.

"We've been told off because we haven't done any social media together from rehearsals. So today we're going to do a Q&A. So you can ask Jowita and I anything, and we're going to answer your questions in our little breaks."

Giving a hint at how hard he is working on his dance moves with Jowita, the former TOWIE star quipped: "There aren't many breaks, to be honest with you, but we will answer any questions. So you can ask us anything." Jowita also called on Pete's followers for help, chipping in: "Also, we need a team name. We don't have anything, so if you have any suggestions, please help us out."

Later, they returned for the promised Q&A where one of the questions they had been asked was: "What's the best thing about each other?" Pete was the first to answer, sweetly saying: "That's easy for me. She is a little ray of sunshine, and I look forward to coming here everyday. She makes me happy."

Jowita then said: "The best thing about Pete, he makes me laugh so much. And he's the most hard-working person I've ever met in my life."
