Pete Wicks shares wild lifestyle changes from Strictly Come Dancing

Pete Wicks, a contestant on the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing, has shared insights into how the competition has significantly altered his lifestyle. At 36 years old, he is partnered with professional dancer Jowita Przystał, 30, and they recently performed a paso doble to The Prodigy's song 'Breathe'. As they prepare for their next routine, set to Post Malone's 'I Had Some Help', Pete has expressed surprise at his new early bedtime, often going to bed by 9:30 PM on Fridays, a stark contrast to his previous 'party boy' lifestyle. This change reflects the demanding nature of the competition and the commitment required to succeed. Despite being on the lower end of the leaderboard after their first performance, Pete remains optimistic about his journey on the show. He has hinted at a close bond with Jowita, even sparking rumors of romantic feelings. Jowita, who has previously won the competition, is now in her third season as a professional dancer on the show, having had notable partners in the past. The series continues to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with fans eagerly anticipating the next performances and results.
