Our Factor 50 email brings all the goss direct to your inbox We have more newsletters Sam Thompson has shared a video glimpse at his best pal Pete Wicks ' dancing skills and joked that he'd pulled a muscle already just days after it was confirmed that the TOWIE star will join this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up. The reality TV star, 32, posted a video to his Instagram Story on Saturday which showed former TOWIE icon Pete, 36, wiggling his hips and dancing in the background while Sam sang the Strictly theme tune. Pete was first rumoured as a Strictly contestant a few weeks ago.
He is close pals with Sam's girlfriend Zara McDermott , who claimed she was physically and verbally abused by her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima last year, but that hasn’t stopped TOWIE star Pete pulling on his dancing shoes. In the video clip posted on Saturday, Sam told his 2.6 million followers that the best friends were in Brighton beach for the day as Sam documented their fun-filled day out for his social media fans.
He filmed himself singing the famous Strictly theme tune as he panned the camera across to best pal Pete who danced in the background before striking a pose. Speaking to the camera, Made In Chelsea star Sam said: "Look at that!" After dancing, Peter appeared to bend over in pain before saying: "Done my groin!" Sam ignored Pete's injury and said.
