Strictly Come Dancing's second celeb name 'revealed' as unlikely star 'joins Nick Knowles'

Pete Wicks has reportedly signed up for Strictly Come Dancing, despite the news that his best friend Sam Thompson's girlfriend Zara McDermott faced turmoil while being on the show

However, it comes after the claims of misconduct on the show towards Zara McDermott - a close friend to Pete - with her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima having admitted to 'kicking her once' during rehearsals. Pete has previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating, Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and The Real Full Monty where he stripped naked for charity. On Tuesday morning, 16 July, Zara told fans via social media that she had “wrestled with the fear of opening up” as she “was scared about public backlash”.
