Strictly Come Dancing star Pete Wicks has shared how he learns the dance moves while rehearsing for the much-loved BBC show.
The 36-year-old revealed all when he appeared on the latest instalment of Loose Women alongside his dance partner Jowita Przystal. Talking about how they're currently doing in the compeition, the pair went on to discuss what goes on behind the scenes.
Jowita said: "I found a way that we work best, for example we write a script for every dance. So we have a story for everything and Pete has his own book and he write things in his own way, so yeah it doesn't make any sense," she explained.
Pete added: "I don't understand the name of what the steps are so I have to name them myself." When asked by Christine Lampard if he could name some of the steps he made up, he said: "Not on daytime TV."
But despite the rivetting discussion, fans were distracted and left swooning over Pete's dashing looks. One viewer on X gushed: "Would never normally justify watching Loose Women, but cor blimey Pete Wicks, just make me pregnant."
Another said: "Give me Pete Wicks over Olly Murs any day." Another said: "Pete with his wet hair pirate charm, getting all the loose ladies a bit excited and making them giggle at everything he says"
On Tuesday (October 1), Pete and Jowita caught up with their fans on social media by hosting a Q&A on Pete's Instagram Stories. One of the first questions asked was: "How are your trotters holding up?" to which Pete replied: "Interesting question and this week, badly. Why's that?" he asked Jowita who sheepishly replied: "Because you're barefoot..."
He continued: "Because I'm dancing barefoot. No shoes." Jowita then interjected to say: "But I clean the floor every morning I come here for you," to which Pete said; "She cleans the floor every morning, hopefully, they'll do the same in the studio but yeah, any of you foot fans out there you're in for a treat this week."
In addition to this, Pete was also asked what his biggest challenge will be this week. The pair admitted it would be "smiling more" before they were asked how things are going so far in training.
"We've just finished eight hours of dancing and I'm shattered, my feet hurt, I'm very sweaty..." Pete said as Jowita interjected: "But it's amazing, right? I just stepped on your foot like three seconds ago, unfortunately, and because Pete's barefoot it's quite painful. I'm so sorry."
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on BBC One.
