Strictly's Pete Wicks confesses act he 'refuses to do' for a woman
Strictly Come Dancing's Pete Wicks has confessed there's one act he won't perform for a woman. He recently revealed all on his Staying Relevant podcast with Sam Thompson
You may often wonder what rules celebrities have in place when it comes to their love lives, and it appears Pete Wicks has a pretty big one. The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant recently revealed all as he appeared on the Staying Relevant podcast with his best friend, Sam Thompson, and he made a candid confession about his future wife.
When talking about relationships, Pete, 37, was asked how he'd propose, and there's one thing he appears to be set against doing. He made his thoughts clear when Sam quizzed him on his future proposal plan, but it's clear he's not interested in what it will look like on social media.
In a clip posted on Instagram, Pete said: "I'm not overly interested in hiring videographers and f***ing people to capture every single moment of it. I don't need f***ing 'How Long Will I Love You' in the background."
When asked if he'd rather get married abroad or at home, he added: "It depends whatever's poignant. If it was poignant for us that, I don't know, you know something really important to us happened at the M1 services, I'd do it there.
"It doesn't matter where it is - it's about the person. I'd be on my knee whilst I tell her how much she means to me, 'I've never been in love before until I met you, and I knew from that moment that it will only ever be you'."
Sam joked that he'd need to say a bit more than that to seal the deal, but Pete quipped that you can say a lot with your eyes. It's fair to say the candid confession got a lot of people chuckling.
While Pete's future wife may not get every moment of their proposal captured, it looks as though many of his fans agreed with his stance. They couldn't help but laugh at the way he made the confession.
One said: "Aside jokes...whoever steals his forever heart is a lucky woman, he has a good heart." Another wrote: "I mean I'd say that was a perfect proposal to be honest!"
A third replied: "The picture that Pete painted of his proposal was just perfect! I actually shed a tear." Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: "Yes - love this!"
However, whatever Pete's ideas about love may be, it doesn't seem to be the main thing on his mind at the moment. This week he has been on a quest to try and find dogs a new home.
As the presenter of TV show Pete Wicks: For Dogs' Sake, he meets hundreds of dogs every year who are in desperate need of a home; however, he was left so touched by the heartbreaking story of Theo that Pete is now calling on kind-hearted Mirror readers to help.
Adorable Theo, who is only four-years-old, has a life-limiting heart condition, which means he may only have up to a year left to live. Pete is on a mission to find him a loving home so he doesn't have to spend his final days in kennels.
To help out even more, the star has even offered to pay for all Theo's medical bills himself to lessen the financial pressure for anyone who is kind enough to adopt him.
"I'm not afraid to admit I'm very emotional when it comes to dogs, but it hit me very hard, like a ton of bricks," Pete says. "It's impacted me quite a lot and makes me emotional now thinking about it…if you could meet him and just two minutes with him, he is this big, slobbery angel on Earth."

Britney Spears deletes her Instagram after most bizarre rant yet
Britney Spears is no longer on Instagram – with some speculating her ex Sam Asghari's recent comments have something to do with it (Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP, File) Britney Spears has vanished from Instagram following what may be her most unfiltered rant to date. The pop icon's Instagram page, once a chaotic but direct line to her 40 million followers, disappeared on Friday, with her profile link now redirecting to a message that simply reads: 'Sorry, this page isn't available.' The departure from the platform comes without any warning or explanation, but just days after the Toxic singer unleashed a blistering tirade aimed at two of her ex-partners, accusing them of cruelty. 'I dated two f****** complete a**holes,' she wrote in a now-deleted post. 'I realized I loved their dogs more than them and I think it's because their dogs bowed to me every time I entered the room!!!' Without naming names, Spears, 43, described the men as 'cruel humans' who failed to acknowledge her or even hold her hand during their years-long relationships. Britney's Instagram departure comes after a rant about her exes (Picture: Instagram/@britneyspears) She has become known for her frequent Instagram posts, particularly those in which she dances (Picture: Instagram) 'I choose animals over people anyday!!! I'm so turned off by humanity and the way people have literally … I have no words!!!' Some have speculated that the rant was in response to a series of recent interviews given by her third ex-husband, actor and fitness trainer Sam Asghari, who spoke publicly about the highs and lows of their short-lived marriage. The couple split in 2023 after just 14 months, with Asghari recently admitting their very public relationship boosted his career, but also complicated his life. 'When you're in such a public relationship, that gives you that platform,' Asghari told Page Six. 'It sort of gave me that platform for who I am.' He also acknowledged that being known primarily as Spears' husband made some casting directors hesitate, calling the experience 'a double-edged sword.' Asghari recently spoke out on how his marriage to Britney helped and hurt his career (Picture: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) The pop singer has made sudden exits from Instagram several times in the past(Picture:) In a separate podcast interview earlier this month, Asghari claimed he had pushed for a prenuptial agreement before marrying Spears in 2022, to protect her amid what he described as a lifetime of being exploited. 'It's very sad,' he said. 'I wanted to make sure that I'm the person that didn't do that.' Fans quickly connected the dots between Spears' angry outburst and Asghari's recent comments, though she never named him directly – nor her other unnamed ex, speculated to be one of her previous high-profile partners. Spears, who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James, 18, with second husband Kevin Federline, has deactivated her Instagram multiple times in recent years. Often, she's gone dark following criticism, media attention, or what appears to be emotional distress. Whether this latest exit from Instagram is temporary or a longer-term break remains to be seen.

Katie Price shares rare snap of boyfriend as she makes gushing tribute
Katie Price and JJ Slater have been an item for some time after JJ found fame when appearing on Married At First Sight, but have kept a low-profile on their romance recently Katie Price has shared a rare snap of her boyfriend JJ Slater as she made gushing tribute for a special occasion. JJ is celebrating his 33rd birthday as he has girlfriend Katie by his side. The mum-of-five took to her Instagram story to share a new photo of her by her boyfriend's side for the special day. Alongside the snap, she simply wrote: "Happy Birthday @johnjoeslater." Katie, 47, and JJ have been an item since they first met back in early 2024. The pair have faced scrutiny throughout their relationship due to their 14-year age gap. They have also been plagued by split rumours but have very much confirmed they are still together in Katie's birthday post. Speaking about JJ, Katie said: "He's the most kindest, genuine, easygoing, chilled person. But do I feel my most happiest and do I feel free? No. It's not a reflection on him, maybe that's what I need to change for myself." The sweet birthday tribute comes after JJ was rushed to hospital again overnight last month and updated fans on his health battle. He shared a worrying photo from hospital which showed a syringe in his arm. He explained the reasons behind why he went this morning after uploading the photo to Instagram. He wrote: "Hate to see it. The reality of living with type 1 diabetes. Late nights in A&E." JJ was taken to hospitals just a few days before Christmas in 2023 after losing 1.5 stone in three weeks and his blood sugar levels were found to be dangerously high. Doctors diagnosed him with type 1 diabetes and he now needs to inject himself with insulin four times per day and regulate his food intake. The star has been open about his health ordeal and how it has changed his life. He was diagnosed after a series of blood tests when his weight had dramatically decreased. Tests showed that he was at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, which can be life-threatening. JJ told the MailOnline: "The first signs were that I always felt thirsty and needed to go the toilet in the middle of the night. I was waking up 4-5 times needing the toilet. "Then I started to lose weight quite quickly. I lost about a stone and a half in three weeks, but I was still eating the same and going to the gym every day. The average person's blood sugar is 4-7 and mine was 34, so mine was super high and there are a lot of complications that come with that. "Your blood can become acidic, which is called DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis)... they were afraid that my glucose was so high that the process had already started. Luckily, it hasn't so being diagnosed before that happened was crucial."
