Pete Wicks has opened up about his incredibly tough stint in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins which kicks off tonight
Pete said he got the upper hand after a few hard knocks from Jen and he accidentally struck her in the back of the head before she fell to the ground.
The ex Brookside actress, who wore protective headgear, was shaken and she burst into tears with Pete also breaking down.
He explained how at first he refused to take part in the challenge and raised his concerns with chief instructor Rudy Reyes.
He said: “I got quite upset about it because I really didn’t want to do it.
“We had just done a run through the desert. I spoke to Rudy about it and he said look you have to do it or we’ll beast everyone… just get her out quick.
“There are lots of reasons why I don’t like that sort of thing. But Rudy explained to me some of the things he’s done in a real life situation and it’s never something you’re going to enjoy doing but it’s part and parcel of what it is.”
Pete continued: “I do 100% regret that. I felt f***ing awful because that’s just not me. If it had been one of the boys it would have been different, but I think Jen of all people – I really loved Jen – and it was not nice to be put in that position.”
The reality TV star – known for his long hairstyle – has revealed that the experience of taking part on Celeb SAS Who Dares Wins had brought old trauma and anger management issues to the forefront.
Pete revealed: “It made me realise a lot about the things I have bottled up over the years and made me angry all the time and I deal with things my own way.
“Things that I probably buried my head in the sand about, which affected me on a daily basis, and I didn’t realise that because I’m so used to going on autopilot and making a joke out of everything and being fine all of the time.”
Pete found fame on The Only Way is Essex, but has since appeared in a long string of reality TV shows.
He’s currently filming for Celebs Go Dating for a third consecutive series as he continues to look for a fairytale romance.
A source said: “Pete is going back onto Celebs Go Dating for a third series to see if they can find him a match.

“It is third time lucky for Pete and he thinks this time could be luckier for him than before.
“Obviously the agency has their work cut out with finding Ms Right for Pete and they will be pulling out all of the stops.”
