They may come from opposite sides of the reality TV tracks, but when The Only Way Is Essex star Pete Wicks met Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson on 2019 ’s Celebs Go Dating, they quickly formed a bromance.
Since, Pete, 32, and Sam, 28, have teamed up for a number of projects and we’re about to see them face their biggest challenge yet – moving in together to take part in Channel 4’s The Celebrity Circle For Stand Up To Cancer. The pair will be playing a game where celebrities hide in a social reality world either pretending to be another celebrity or being themselves to trick other famous faces also playing.
We chatted to the duo about their arguments and how they’ve managed to remain besties.
Why did you want to do The Celebrity Circle?
Sam: Who doesn’t want to live with Pete?! It’s like being a scientist, going into the wild and seeing how other species live.
Pete: Sam wanted to do it together and I didn’t. Living with Sam was the most painful experience of my life!
So you didn’t work well together?
Pete: No, badly!
Sam: Or brilliantly.
Pete: Sam’s the creative one who comes up with mad ideas. Then I put things into practice because I’m more logical.
