Strictly Come Dancing's Pete Wicks fights tears after emotional dance routine
Pete dedicated his routine to his late Nan.
It was an emotional night for Pete Wicks on Strictly Come Dancing during the Saturday 9th November's show.
The former TOWIE star was dancing his Couple's Choice to Simply the Best which was dedicated to his beloved Nan, Doreen, who passed away in 2022.
The song was played at her funeral, and earlier in the week, Wicks admitted he couldn't listen to the song the whole way through before he started rehearsals for this routine.
As Wicks and professional partner Jowita Przystal performed their dance, it was clear to see Wicks was very emotional throughout, as he fought tears at the end of it.
