Pete Wicks is Strictly's worst dancer, can't 'keep his hands' off his partner and is in a love triangle... yet may clinch the glitterball for a VERY surprising reason, TV insiders reveal to KATIE HIND
Just what is the attraction of 'Pirate Pete', the scruffy, tattooed womaniser? With his brooding glare and shaggy mane draped on muscular shoulders, he looks more like a wrestler than a ballroom dancer.
His nickname comes from his supposed resemblance to Johnny Depp’s character Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates Of The Caribbean, and those who know him say he is ‘totally charismatic’ and ‘a very cheeky rascal’. Once dubbed TV’s biggest Lothario, he has boasted of having threesomes in past relationships and even pursuing Carol Vorderman, 63, after she admitted to enjoying liaisons with younger men. In a series where the male professional dancers are careful about their behaviour around celebrity partners following scandals involving Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, the female pros don’t appear to have the same scruples.
