Strictly Come Dancing bosses fuming over Pete Wicks appearing on rival show at the same time

Clash of TV appearances

Bosses at Strictly Come Dancing are reportedly upset over Pete Wicks juggling appearances on both the BBC dance competition and Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins simultaneously. While Pete struts his stuff on Saturday nights on Strictly, he is also starring in the intense reality show on a rival network.

Strictly's fresh line-up

According to insiders, the clash has irked BBC bosses who prefer their line-up to feel fresh. The decision to have Pete on a competing show during the same week as Strictly's live shows has raised concerns that his presence on another network diminishes the specialness of their cast.

Unexpected frustration

Despite taking a chance on Pete, who is not their typical booking due to his history on various reality shows, Strictly decision-makers were taken aback by the timing of the Celebrity SAS airdate. The show was filmed in New Zealand last summer, and its launch coinciding with Strictly's live shows was not anticipated.

Pete's Strictly bubble

While Pete is caught in the middle of this TV scheduling clash, fans are speculating about his relationship with his pro partner Jowita Przystal. The pair's close interactions and Jowita's appearance on Pete's podcast have sparked rumors among viewers, leading to speculation about a possible "Strictly curse."
