TOWIE Star Pete Wicks' odds to win Strictly Come Dancing
Reality TV star, Pete Wicks, is predicted to be one of the least likely contestants to win Strictly Come Dancing this year, following his debut on the competition. Harlow-born Pete Wicks, who is paired with professional ballroom dancer Jowita Przystał, has appeared on the show for three weeks.
Speaking on his podcast, Staying Relevant, with best pal Sam Thompson, Pete spoke of his fears about joining the dancing competition. He said: “Another problem I have, as was probably well illustrated there, is that I don’t really like to be touched”.
Sharing his first night fears, he joked: “The worst thing that could happen is that I go there on the first day, having tried to remember this dance, never having danced at all in front of £10m people, and Sam will be in the front row, just before I do it. I feel like all that’s going to happen is my head is going to go ‘oh god!’ and I’m going to forget. I hope to God, I do not catch eyes with you.”
