The reality star and podcast host is among the 15 celebrities who have signed up to take part in the BBC One dance contest this year
Pete Wicks has revealed his first struggle after signing up to Strictly Come Dancing . .
But this year, the roles will be reversed and Sam has already shared his excitement at watching Pete whip on his dancing shoes and bust some moves. Strictly fans will first see Pete in his sequins and find out his celebrity partner for the first time next month when the launch show airs on Saturday, September 14.
In a clip posted to the Staying Relevant Instagram page, Pete confessed: "I can't shimmy!" Sam then gave it a go with a sprinkling of the iconic Strictly theme tune thrown in, however, Pete told him: "Right, but you're doing the same as me. It's not a shimmy. We're twerking!"
