The Strictly Come Dancing star said he was left with multiple injuries following the unexpected fall, just days before he was all smiles at an event
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Pete Wicks has been left injured following a nasty fall. Last week, the former TOWIE star was all smiles while attending The Fashion Awards, but admits he almost didn’t make it to the event.
Just hours before, the 37-year-old said he suffered a fall which resulted in a “smashed” up face, an injured knee and a broken tooth.
Reflecting on his appearance at the awards ceremony on his Staying Relevant podcast, he told Vicky Pattison: “I nearly didn’t make it because I had a fall at the weekend.
“So, I bashed up my knee and smashed my face on the floor and broke my tooth.” Pete didn’t share what caused the fall, but revealed that his dentist was currently in the process of making him a new tooth.
Asked by his co-star if he had a chipped tooth, he replied: “No because I went to the dentist on Monday to have a, kind of like a, fake tooth while they make me a new tooth, which I go to get fitted on Saturday.”
After revealing his accident to his good friend Vicky, she couldn’t help but tease him.
“I simply can’t with you saying things like that,” she laughed.
“Like, I already feel old. If you’re going to start saying things like, ‘Oh, I had a fall’ and ‘God, my knees are playing up because of the weather’, like, I swear to God it’s doing nothing for my mental health because I’m older than you.”
In a further conversation about age, Vicky reflected on her stints on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and Strictly Come Dancing.
After Pete mentioned that it had been “a decade” since she became the Queen of the Jungle, Vicky said such shows are “a young woman’s game”.
“I really underestimated the advantage I had going in the jungle as a 27-year-old woman, like pretty much physically me at my prime,” she shared.
“Like my f*****g body now, like I swear to God, [if] I sleep on a mattress that’s not my own, I feel like I’ve been hit by a car. Like I’m so old, like physically.”
Vicky went on to say she doesn’t believe she could sign up to the jungle now and also suggested she may have done better on Strictly if she was younger.
As for Pete, he participated on the BBC dance competition last year with his professional dance partner Jowita Przystał.
The dancing duo made it all the way to the semi-final before losing to Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec in the dance-off.
Reflecting on his experience on the show, he said he was “over the moon” when he was voted out after finding the dancing tough.
For Vicky however, she admitted to being left in tears for a week when she lost her place on the show.
