Pete Wicks is sympathising with his dance partner Jowita Przystal as they dive into rehearsals for their forthcoming Strictly Come Dancing performance. The TOWIE star will return to the iconic ballroom when BBC One's dance competition airs on Saturday night (October 12), after he and Jowita advanced to week four following their Movie Week display. Pete surprised everyone by donning an animal-print loincloth and going barefoot as he and Jowita danced the samba to the George Of The Jungle theme, earning a score of 26 out of 40.

There was a near-miss during their routine when some complex footwork almost resulted in Jowita being thrown across the floor, but Pete managed to maintain a firm hold, preventing any mishaps. Now, leaving George of the Jungle behind, they are focusing on their next challenge, a Quickstep to The Jam's Town Called Malice, reports the Manchester Evening News . Heading to rehearsals on Wednesday (October 9), Pete conducted a Q&A on his Instagram during a traffic jam.

One of the initial questions put to him was: "Are you proud of what you have done on Strictly so far?? You should be!! Loving it." In a heartfelt post, Pete shared a snapshot of himself and Jowita performing as George and Ursula on the dance-floor, expressing: "I'm trying my best, I am loving learning something new and hope I am blessed enough to keep going but that's down to you guys!" He also praised his partner, saying: "Also, @jowitaprzystal is the best teacher!" When asked by another follo.
