It wasn’t the kind of kiss you’d give a friend, it was very passionate. "Maura and Pete seemed to be really into each other and kept looking into each other’s eyes before kissing again a number of times. They were all over each other.
They looked totally in love and weren’t trying to hide it from anyone." Pete Wicks reveals Zara McDermott 'pushed him' to do Strictly Pete also sparked romance rumours after posing for loved-up photos with Faye Winter at Vicky Pattison's wedding. Among the photos, shared by Faye on her Instagram Stories, the pair were seen cuddling up with Pete giving her a bear hug from behind.
In another, he is seen getting down on one knee in a mock proposal. The next picture saw them giving each other the finger as they scowled at each other. The jokey pictures were later shared by Pete, who added to them "There she is" with a black heart next to it.
Pete explained that he often finds that women "like the idea of him" but struggle to deal with the "reality" of dating him. He is hoping that his stint on Strictly will help him to "let go" and "enjoy himself". The TV star told Lorraine that it was Zara McDermott who encouraged him to do the show - despite claims that she was "kicked and hit" by Graziano Di Prima.
"Zara was the one that kind of pushed me to do this because she loves the show. I was quite honest about the fact I had never actually seen it. "The first time I saw Strictly was the first live show last year when Zara was on and I just thought wow, this is amazing - but I never imagined myself doing it.
Sequins, all that stuff, is not necessarily my style." He added: "I am petrified. I'm like a Ferrari from the waist down and Volvo from the top half.
I've got the hips but nothing else." Speaking to Zara's boyfriend and best pal Sam Thompson on their Staying Relevant podcast he said: "It's the last thing I think anyone would ever think I would do. "I've never thought about doing it.
I've never really watched Strictly. You do like a taster day where I had to see how I got on for an hour with one of the pros."
