Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison’s fans have said that they ‘can’t wait’ after she shared a career update with the help of her close friend Pete Wicks.

Vicky and Pete have been friends for a number of years, having been featured on Celebrity Gogglebox together and taken part in a huge Icelandic trek for the breast cancer awareness charity, CoppaFeel.

Last month saw the pair reunite for an episode of Pete and Sam Thompson’s Staying Relevant podcast. With Sam away visiting the I’m A Celebrity set at the time, Vicky and Pete got to speak about their separate appearances on Strictly Come Dancing.

The former Geordie Shore I’m A Celebrity winner was seen last year competing on the annual BBC dancing competition with professional dancer Kai Widdrington. The pair were a popular couple on the series which was eventually won by Karen Carney and Carlos Gu.

Vicky and Kai were sent home by judges Craig Revel Horwood,Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas after landing in the dance-off at the beginning of November with EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal and Julian Callion.

Back in 2024, Pete managed to make it all the way to the series’ semi-final with the help of Jowita Przystal. Sadly, their journey ended just before the final after being in the dance-off with Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec.

With their friendship now having Strictly to talk about, Vicky took to Instagram on Monday (January 5) to reveal that she and Pete were hanging out once again. Sharing a video, they could be seen lip syncing to a viral TikTok sound about ordering a vodka and tonic when the bar doesn’t have apple juice.

Writing on the video, where they sat beside each other in a restaurant booth, read: “Pov: Our attempt at dry January.

In her post’s main caption, Vicky revealed that they were actually spending time together for her and her husband Ercan Ramdan’s new reality show. Vicky and Ercan tied the knot to last year, which Pete was in attendance at.

“How’s everyone else’s resolutions going??! Not a bad start to 2026 really, got to film with this fella today for mine and @ercan_ram’s new show…Coming in March to @e4grams.

“And don’t forget to tune in tonight at 9pm to @uandw_ for the premiere of series 3 of @petewicksfordogssake,” Vicly wrote.

Pete replied to the post by poking fun at himself, saying: “Can’t believe I actually managed to lip sync in time…new year, new me.”

The rest of the comments section of Vicky’s post saw her and Pete’s fans expressing their delight at seeing them back together again and their excitement at Vicky’s latest TV project.

Pete’s former Strictly partner Jowita Przystal said: “Aww excited news, miss you.” @hthomaspictures added: “Can’t wait for the awesome show.”
