Pete Wicks struggled to hold in his tears on Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing as he shared an emotional tribute to his late nan, who he called his 'best friend'
Pete Wicks was visibly emotional after his heartfelt dance performance on Saturday night, leaving viewers and judges sympathising with the reality star. The ex-TOWIE regular took to the Strictly dance floor with his partner Jowita Przystal for their Couple's Choice routine on Saturday, November 9, in an attempt to get through to Blackpool week.
After the emotional performance, which he did in bare feet, a visibly emotional Pete spoke to host Claudia Winkleman and said: "Been a tough week, but the one person I wish was here is my nan and she's not so it's the one way for her being here." Explaining why it was such a tough week for him, Pete revealed he hadn't listened to the Tina Turner song all the way through since Doreen's funeral. "This is going to be a tough one for me based on the fact that I’ve not heard the song all the way through, up until this week, since my nan’s funeral. My nan was my best mate, and we played this at her funeral because it was her favourite song.
