When asked if he will fall victim to the TV ‘curse’, she told us: “Oh gosh who knows! “We've obviously had a few messages and lots of encouraging words – but I have told him to maybe focus on the dancing and not the ladies. But that’s Pete, that’s Pete’s private life.” She added: “He’s such a wonderful friend and I’m very, very proud of him.
I watched the first show on Saturday and I thought he looked a little bit nervous, a little bit reserved to start with and I could see his relief when he completed the group dance. “I am his biggest cheerleader and I hope to get down to the studio so I can cheer him on in person too. Pete’s career couldn’t be any bigger right now, but I think this is just going to blow it.
