Pete Wicks will be channelling Joaquin Phoenix for his Strictly movie week routine.
The TOWIE star and his professional partner Jowita Przystal will be taking to the floor on Saturday with a special movie-themed dance and Pete is looking forward to taking on a new character.
He said: “Much like dancing, I’ve never acted before. So it’s not a case of levelling up, it’s learning. It’s hard to be anyone other than myself, but I think it’s time I started being someone else. Being me hasn’t worked too well so far!”

When asked: “If you could recreate any iconic movie dance scene on the Strictly dance floor, which one would it be, and why?”, he replied: “The Joker dancing down the stairs. It’s the only one I know, but it’s iconic.”
Pete also revealed he has been compared to an iconic movie villain in the past.

He said: “Scar from The Lion King would do a great Paso Doble. I’ve been compared to him before.”
The pair were also quizzed on their perfect movie night or day and shared similar answers.
Pete said: “Raining, log cabin in the middle of the woods, fire going, cold night. Couple of bottles of Malbec and cheese board,” while Jowita answered: “Snowy night, log cabin! A big bowl of salted popcorn.”
Meanwhile Strictly judge has given their thoughts on the rumoured relationship between two of this year’s stars.
Craig Revel Horwood said he has noticed “chemistry” between Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal, as rumours continue to swirl around the pair. The duo are safely through to next week’s show, but already fans believe their on-screen banter may be more romantic.
TOWIE star Pete, 36, is competing in this year’s edition BBC competition with Polish professional Jowita, 30. After just a couple of dances, the pair have already entranced the judging panel and viewers at home, but now it seems that Craig has seen sparks fly between the two.
“There is a lot of giggling going on and chumminess with Pete and Jowita,” Craig said in an interview with Best magazine. “It’s probably due to the face he’s a bit of a card – he’s very funny; their chemistry will make for some fab-u-lous dances, I’m sure of it!”
