Pete Wicks’s Strictly rehearsals thrown into chaos as Towie hunk battles flood
PETE Wicks’s Strictly rehearsals were thrown into chaos today.
The former Towie star, 36, is one of the famous faces taking part in this year’s series of the BBC show.
Pete and dance partner Jowita Przystał are currently 12th on the leader board, in front of Dr Punam, Paul Merson and Toyah Willcox.
The reality favourite has got just four days until his next live performance – and has been putting in the practice time.
However it didn’t look very easy getting to training today after getting caught up in all the rain.
Pete shared a video of himself looking out the window of his car with very high water surrounding him near Brent Cross, London.
He joked: “Should have got a boat to the studio today.”
Pete added Robin Schulz’s remix of Mr Probz song Waves in the background.
The UK has been hit with heavy showers today, especially through the south east of England.
The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms in the south east until 10pm today.
On Saturday night Pete and Jowita performed their routine to George of the Jungle.
The pair scored 26 out of 40.
In recent weeks the pair have raised a few eyebrows after growing close.
Earlier this week they fulled romance rumours after she made a very flirty comment.
In a backstage clip shared on Strictly‘s Instagram account, Jowita playfully teased Pete about his bold look, joking, “I still think you should keep that outfit.”
Meanwhile others have said that they two ‘look like they’ve been a couple for ten years.’
Over the weekend they also cosied up together at the backstage drinks party following their steamy foxtrot.
Meanwhile it has been reported that Pete is ‘head over heels’for Jowita.
The Strictly source told The Mail On Sunday: “Pete has fallen head over heels for Jowita. He thinks she is amazing in every way.
“The feeling is mutual from her side and things have definitely progressed between them. They are all over one another behind the scenes, in a way that a loved-up couple would be.’
“It appears that we may have the first Strictly romance of the series, which is so exciting. They are the talk of the show.
“The other contestants are really happy for them. They are always smiling. It’s lovely. It will certainly brighten up the show following the dreadful saga around Giovanni (Pernice) and Amanda Abbington.”
