Sam Thompson has shared an emotional tribute to his friend Pete Wicks, jokingly admitting he wishes he were the one dancing with the Strictly Come Dancing star. In a video posted on Instagram, Thompson filmed Wicks rehearsing with professional partner Jowita Przystał, captioning it: "That should be me with him." The clip, set to Justin Bieber's song 'That Should Be Me', has gone viral.
Thompson, known for his role in Made in Chelsea, has been a vocal supporter of Wicks throughout his Strictly journey. However, his comments on This Morning sparked speculation about a potential romance between Wicks and Przystał. When asked about their chemistry, Thompson initially said, "I think they are in love," before quickly backtracking and insisting their relationship is platonic.
Thompson added: "He cares about her so much, the way he looks at her, I've never seen it before. I just want to see him happy, he is one of the best people I know." Fans have also noted the pair's close bond, with many commenting on social media that Wicks appears to have developed feelings for his dance partner.
On their podcast 'Staying Relevant', Thompson jokingly referred to himself as a "third wheel" as Wicks and Przystał shared a private moment. Przystał revealed they have a "code" and sometimes don't need to speak to understand each other. The interaction delighted fans, with one commenting: "Pete is in love and it ain't with Sam."
