BBC Strictly's Pete Wicks shares 'absolutely ridiculous' tattoo after inking 'goes wrong'

's has revealed the moment he got a 'ridiculous' tattoo after an unexpected moment.

The former Towie star and his professional dance partner Jowita Przystal have been busy in training as they prepare to grace the dance floor this Saturday night (October 26) for Halloween week.

Ahead of their spooky performance, Pete has spoken out about an awkward moment that left him with an 'absolutely ridiculous' tattoo.

When asked if he has ever had a paranormal experience before, the star admitted: "I don't know. I don't necessarily believe but I also don't definitely disbelieve."

He then revealed: "I have got a ghost tattooed on me. I used to present a podcast called Just a Little Prick about tattoos and interviewed tattoo artists whilst they tattooed me. And the tattoo artist who did the ghost was apparently the oldest working artist in the world."

Pete added: "He was 93 and I expected him just to be doing like a little tattoo or something like that so I let him do whatever he wanted, but I didn't realise it was going to be Casper the Friendly Ghost, who looks like a fat baby. It is absolutely ridiculous."

It comes after the podcast host faced the notoriously difficult rumba with his dance partner last weekend.

The pair performed to the Oasis track 'Don't Look Back in Anger' while sporting a 'wet' look. At the time, Pete admitted he was not a fan of the dance and they ended up achieving a score of 22.

The low score didn't stop them being automatically sent through to tonight's iconic Halloween special, where viewers will see the duo appear as the Joker and Harley Quinn during their Viennese Waltz to That's Life by Frank Sinatra.

And it appears that despite having commitments away from the training room, he and Jowita have been putting the work in as they were still in rehearsals at 10pm on Thursday evening (October 24).

Pete filmed a video which was posted to Jowita's Instagram Story and he didn't seem too happy as he said: "It's 10 o'clock on a Thursday and we've just finished training and Jowita has a surprise for me... I got quite excited until I saw what it was..."

He then called the professional dancer over and she was wearing a silver mask, only showing her nose and mouth.

As she threw some moves around him, Pete said: "She's been dancing like that for the past 15 minutes which has been a struggle. Look at the... Go away you weird, weird borrower."
