Reality TV star Pete Wicks has made a surprising confession about his early relationship with fellow The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) cast member Sam Thompson – he "couldn't stand him" when they first met!
From Friction to Friendship
In a candid revelation, Wicks admitted their initial dynamic was far from the close bromance fans know today. "When I first met Sam, I genuinely couldn't stand him," the TOWIE star confessed during a recent interview.
The turning point came when Wicks saw Thompson's authenticity behind the camera. "I realised he wasn't putting on an act – that's genuinely him," Wicks explained, acknowledging how his perception changed after seeing Thompson's unfiltered personality.

The reality stars' friendship developed through:
- Shared experiences on the show
- Thompson's consistent personality off-camera
- Mutual understanding of reality TV pressures
Wicks now describes Thompson as "one of the most genuine people" he's met in the industry, a far cry from their rocky start.
