Sam Thompson has revealed Pete Wicks is likely to travel to Australia for I’m A Celeb if he’s booted off Strictly Come Dancing.

The TOWIE star, 36, has every reason for a trip Down Under as his best friend Sam, 32, is hosting the spin-off show and his partner Maura Higgins, 33, is tipped to head into the Jungle.

When asked who he would miss most, Sam said: ‘Probably Zara because Pete is so stressed with Strictly! I’ve never seen a man so stressed with his dancing because he’s having to learn a whole new skill.

‘I’ve got to say my girlfriend, I don’t want to get in trouble!

‘Pete did say if he gets booted out of Strictly he might come out and see me! We’ll get to have another bridge reunion.’

A trip out to Australia is looking less likely after Sunday night when it was revealed Pete would be heading to Blackpool for the Strictly finals.

Scoring 38 points, Pete wowed the judges with his Couple’s Choice dance dedicated to his late Nan.

But if he gets booted off in the next two weeks, Pete will still have plenty of time to fly out and support Sam and his rumoured girlfriend.

Pete seemingly confirmed his romance with the Irish Love Island star after the pair were seen kissing outside a restaurant in East London last month.

Rumours were circulating that Pete was involved with his Strictly partner Jowita Przystal, 30, but shortly afterwards reports he was kissing Maura at a private bar at the Pride of Britain awards emerged.

The couple have been linked for over a year so it would come as no surprise if Pete made an appearance Down Under to support Maura.

The Celebs Go Dating star went out to Australia to meet Sam when he won the show last year and enjoyed a holiday at the luxury Marriott H๏τel with other friends and family.

It comes after MailOnline revealed Zara McDermott, 27, would again not be joining her boyfriend of five years as she has to stay in the UK to film her latest BBC documentary on stalking.

Arriving at Brisbane Airport on Sunday, Sam told MailOnline: ‘I don’t know if Zara will be coming out, that’s a good question. 

‘Maybe, if she’s not working, maybe. That would be nice, if she could come out it would be really nice to see her.

‘I called Pete when I was on the layover. He smashed his dance I watched it on the flight, it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. He deserved that ten from Shirley. So beautiful.’
