Strictly Come Dancing star, Vicky Pattison, shares a close friendship with former TOWIE favourite, Pete Wicks, who took to the dance floor on the BBC show last year
Strictly Come Dancing pals, Vicky Pattison and Pete Wicks have shared a close friendship for years. The Geordie Shore star, 37, who was the 11th celebrity to be announced as joining the BBC show today, is following in Pete’s footsteps, after he slipped into sequins for the series last year.
The pals are so close, that Pete, 36, was a ‘flower girl’ for Vicky’s lavish wedding last year, with the reality star telling Lorraine ahead of the bash: “Pete is embracing his role of flower girl. He’s going to arrive tonight and I have no doubt going to show us some fantastic moves as he walks down that aisle.’
She added: “When we found out he had the Strictly gig we’d already planned him coming to the wedding so he’s flying in and out very fast. He’s a really good friend so this has been conflicting for him.” It comes as Vicky lifted the lid on her Strictly signing on This Morning today.

Earlier this year, Pete and Vicky looked delighted to bump into each other in central London.
Warmly embracing each other with a friendly smooch in February, they appeared happy in each other’s company outside the Bauer Media Group studios in Hampstead as they caught up in the capital after Vicky’s appearance on Kiss Radio.
The pair have been friends for more than a decade and in September, Pete shared a sweet photo from Vicky’s lavish wedding to Ercan Ramadan.
In a sweet post, he called his best friend Vicky ‘one of my biggest supporters’.
Congratulating the bride, who looked gorgeous in a stunning lace dress, he said: “Couldn’t be more proud of you @Vickypattison.
“For 10 years you have been one of my best friends and biggest supporters. I am so blessed and lucky to call you a friend.
“You are a wonderful person and have always been there for me, my life is better with you in it.
“This is your day and you deserve it more than anyone. Congratulations.”
An emotional Vicky thanked her friend for taking time out of his busy Strictly schedule, gushing: “I have never been more grateful for you.
“I know how hard you’re working with Jowita Przystal – can’t believe you sacrificed a couple hours for me. Love you x.”
