Pete Wicks is Strictly’s worst dancer, can’t ‘keep his hands’ off his partner and is in a love triangle… yet may clinch the glitterball for a VERY surprising reason, TV insiders reveal to KATIE HIND
As a seasoned observer of reality TV and its colorful characters, I must say that the enigmatic figure of Pete Wicks has managed to captivate audiences like no other in recent years. With his charming bad-boy persona, he’s been able to turn heads on shows such as TOWIE and now, Strictly Come Dancing.
On Saturday evening during Strictly Come Dancing, Tess Daly declared Pete Wicks had advanced to the quarterfinals. Even Pete himself doubted whether it was an error in her announcement.
As a lifestyle expert, I find myself reflecting on Pete’s latest performance on the BBC dance show. For the third time in four weeks, I found myself at the bottom of the scoreboard. It’s clear that my days on this show might be numbered. The charismatic reality TV star, known for his long locks and fame from The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), shares my view that the dance-off is looming large, given my position as the least skilled celebrity performer.
In a dance competition, Pete, aged 36, and his partner Jowita Przystal received a score of 29 out of 40 for their tango routine to Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey. On the other hand, contestants Montell Douglas and Jamie Borthwick were pitted against each other in a direct performance, with Douglas scoring 37 and Borthwick scoring 32.
And it was EastEnders actor Jamie and his partner Michelle Tsiakkas who were booted off.
Pete shared with It Takes Two that he’s felt like he might be leaving since week one, so each week has been unexpected. However, this week’s development might just take the cake as the most surprising yet.
On that surprising evening, he clarified, “To be honest, I was a bit confused because I believed ‘they’ meant Montell had advanced when we were already among the final two.
With only three weeks remaining until the finale on Strictly, underdog Pete, who’s considered the least skilled dancer, has managed to make it to the quarterfinals. He could potentially win the coveted glitterball trophy if he keeps up his impressive performances.
The feedback from the show’s judges implies that his dancing skills have plateaued. However, it seems the audience, especially female fans of Strictly, are captivated by him, as evidenced by their votes. A source close to Strictly commented, “Everyone is surprised by Pete’s popularity. If it were solely based on the judges’ opinions, he wouldn’t be here anymore.
What makes ‘Pirate Pete’, the rough-around-the-edges, heavily tattooed flirt, so alluring? His moniker originates from his likeness to Captain Jack Sparrow, portrayed by Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. Those who know him describe him as incredibly charming and a mischievous rogue.
In a casual and engaging style, we could say: With a brooding stare and a rugged hairdo cascading over his chiseled muscles, Pete, who’s quite the ladies’ man in Hollywood, appears more like a professional wrestler than a graceful ballroom dancer.
According to the source, it appears that the women in particular are extremely fond of him. Many viewers of Strictly, who might not have been familiar with him since he’s from TOWIE, have been immediately captivated by him.
As an utterly smitten admirer, I can’t help but share the electrifying vibe that fills the studio air – even the crew and spectators seem to be under his spell! It appears that the allure of ‘The Pirate’, Pete Wicks, is irresistible, especially for the female viewers. A swift glance at social media confirms this, as hundreds of comments shower him with adoration. One fan, in particular, can’t help but gush: “Saturday nights just got a whole lot better, watching Pete Wicks’s thighs!
Another said: ‘Good lord, Pete Wicks brings sexy every single week.’
Despite trying to maintain a stern demeanor, matriarch Shirley Ballas couldn’t help but exhibit a gleam of approval as she assessed Pete. Fans have speculated that the show’s chief judge may have been overly generous in marking the attractive celebrity, awarding him an eight, while another judge gave a mere four in week nine.
She shared with him: ‘Your hips moved back and forth quite noticeably. It was quite amusing, and I believe this night will stick with me for a while.’ However, it wouldn’t have surprised Pete given his reputation as a well-known charmer on TV. In the past, he’s openly discussed having three-way relationships and even pursued Carol Vorderman, who is 63, when she publicly confessed to enjoying romantic encounters with younger individuals.
Initially, Pete gained recognition in 2015 through his recurring role on ITV2’s TOWIE. There, he garnered a reputation for his tumultuous relationship with fellow cast member Megan McKenna and constant allegations of infidelity. Since that time, he has been involved with several prominent reality TV personalities, such as Amber Davies from Love Island, Megan Barton-Hanson, and Chloe Sims, a colleague from TOWIE.
Previous year, following his trip to Australia to back his friend Sam Thompson on ‘I’m A Celebrity’, he was spotted showing affection towards actress Danielle Harold once she left the program.
Lately, there have been rumors connecting him to Maura Higgins, a well-known contestant on Love Island, who is currently participating in the jungle.
People who are familiar with Pete believe that his public persona is more intentionally crafted than outsiders might assume. It seems he’s employing a network of popular entertainment friends, such as Sam, 32, the winner of I’m A Celebrity, his partner Zara McDermott, 27, who was also on Strictly, and Vicky Pattison, 37, another winner from I’m A Celebrity, to foster connections with fans as a strategic move to remain on Strictly Come Dancing.
Among themselves, this close-knit group flaunts an astounding 13 million followers on Instagram specifically – consistently utilizing the platform to champion Pete and ensure his continued participation in the contest.
Moreover, we encounter Jowita in this context. Interestingly, while the male professionals seem cautious with their interactions with celebrity partners due to past incidents involving Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, it seems that the female pros do not share the same reservations regarding their conduct.
On weekends, I find myself affectionately engaging with Pete – whether it’s a gentle touch on his arm or a warm embrace – as we make our way to the dance floor. It’s just part of our shared rhythm and lifestyle.
However, if the gossip is accurate, they seem to have grown quite close. It’s been speculated that Pete, in particular, might be involved in a love triangle with Maura and Jowita. Maura, aged 34, firmly states she’s single, while Pete’s publicist seems content to let viewers assume their relationship status is dating.
According to an informed source, ‘Their connection has been sparking for quite a few weeks now, but it’s become more noticeable lately. It’s clear to everyone around them – they seem to be almost magnetically attracted to one another.’
30-year-old Polish beauty Jowita, who has previously been linked with former Strictly dancer Pernice, might discover that Pete isn’t ideal for a long-term romantic relationship. According to one of his friends, ‘He tries to give off the impression of being a mischievous rogue, but he rarely makes commitments.’
‘He’s good fun to start with and then it ends in heartbreak, but women just love the bad boy vibe he puts out there.’
It appears that a significant number of people are fans of “Strictly,” consistently casting their votes weekly to ensure Pirate Pete remains on the program.
