They’ve got the most heartwarming ‘bromance’ on TV and now, Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson and former TOWIE cast member Pete Wicks — who is currently wowing audiences with his dance routines (and outfits) on Strictly Come Dancing — are back as the red carpet live hosts at the Pride of Britain Awards.
The pals, who host the hit podcast Staying Relevant together, reveal it’s set to be another inspirational year. No doubt, tears will be shed as they meet some of the incredible winners, along with sharing a few jokes with the likes of Ant and Dec on the night.
Here, the best friends share their thoughts on why the special event is such an honour to be a part of, and give an insight into Pete’s Strictly experience, including what Sam — whose girlfriend Zara McDermott competed last year — truly thinks about his mate’s moves...
Hello, you two! So, how does it feel to be back working with Pride of Britain?
Sam: It’s an absolute honour. We were so thrilled to be asked to present last year, so to be asked again is amazing, and there’s no one I’d rather do it with than my best pal, Pete.
Pete: I hate to agree with Sam, but he’s right. It genuinely is such a special event, and it’s one that we’re both so thankful to be a part of.
Were there lots of tears last year? How do you plan to keep it together this year?
Sam: As everyone knows, I’m the emotional one out of the two of us, so it’ll be hard for me to hold it together, but hearing the inspirational stories are what makes it really worth it.
Pete: The thing is, this is where the nation’s real heroes are celebrated. They’re the best of all of us. Regular people and unsung heroes who have been extraordinary and brave. It is impossible not to be moved.
