Pete Wicks was able to take a rare break from his Strictly rehearsals this week as he jetted off to Italy for the wedding of his TV star pal. 

The former TOWIE star, 36, shared an emotional post where he was seen with former queen of the I'm a Celebrity jungle Vicky Pattison as she married Ercan Ramadan at Castello Monaci in Salento.

"I am so blessed and lucky to call you a friend," Pete continued. "You are a wonderful person and have always been there for me, my life is better with you in it. This is your day and you deserve it more than anyone. Congratulations."

The newlywed star commented: "I have never been more grateful for you... I know how hard you're working with Jowita - can't believe you sacrificed a couple of hours for me. Love you x."

However, it is believed that the Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is currently single. The star, who has been dubbed by his podcast co-host Sam Thompson the "heartthrob" of this year's Strictly line-up previously opened up about his relationship status in an interview with The Times Magazine.

"I'm nearly 36. I want to get married and have kids. I've been blessed with so many opportunities, but what's the point if I can't share them with anyone?," he admitted.

"Right now, I'm not ready to wholeheartedly commit to a romantic relationship because I don't fully understand myself yet.
