Strictly star Pete Wicks refuses to quit BBC show despite training with three broken ribs after horror injury on another reality show


The former TOWIE star, 36, suffered the brutal injury after being knocked out while filming Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

The star had been tasked with jumping out of a helicopter into a lake when he knocked himself out with his backpack, hitting the surface at full speed, and was left face down in the water. Pete revealed on his Staying Relevant podcast that he is most worried about his ribs while training for the BBC show and is nervous he won't be able to get the dances right 'After Pete was knocked unconscious and broke his ribs in 2022’s series, his return to try and pass selection was a big deal and the first time [ex-Special Forces lead instructor] Billy Billingham and the directing staff have allowed a celeb to try out twice.'
