TOWIE star Pete Wicks 'signs up for Strictly Come Dancing days after it emerged his close pal Zara McDermott was abused by her professional partner Graziano Di Prima'


The reality star and podcast host, 36, is best pals with Zara McDermott's boyfriend Sam Thompson, and his appearance on the show is set to be his biggest TV gig yet.

The reality star and podcast host, 36, has signed up for the show just days after it was alleged that his close pal Zara McDermott was physically and verbally abused by her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima last year. Nick previously joined forces with Strictly professionals including Katya Jones and Luba Mushtuk, for a special episode of DIY SOS, where they transformed a performing arts school in North Tyneside. The presenter, who announced his engagement to girlfriend Katie Dadzie last year, previously offered his thoughts on Strictly when fans discussed how CBBC star Molly Rainford was in the bottom two, while footballer Tony Adams avoided elimination.
