Pete Wicks looks like the thrilling long haired bad boy who winks and spins you around with extra oomph on the Waltzers at the fair. (*Very* fond memories from my long-gone teenage years…)

Crew member here! Aah I’ll not have the Jamie slander, he’s a wee dote (as me mam would say)! Heard us all debating which Krispy creme doughnut flavours we liked best and next thing he’s come in with 4 dozen of them for all the crew despite not eating them himself. Shows probably the most gratitude and interest of the gang to all crew members and I think it comes from working on a soap for many years. (Incidentally he says he wants to come and work behind the camera with us once he’s been voted out)! He’s a lovely wee fella. Always spots whoever looks a bit sad or nervous and makes a beeline to go and cheer them up. Having fun with it all but doesn’t much care about winning in fact none of our celebs do this year really, or even the pros (except one who I shan’t name)! They’re all just there for the craic this year a great bunch.

But that’s not the reason I’m here! It’s about your beloved wan, Mr Wicks. Not only is he another lovely fella, but when I tell ye he’s even more magnetic in the flesh oh my GOD. Surprisingly always smells absolutely divine as well. Stop dribbling! ;)

A marvellous summation with thrilling OV comments on Twitter. I hate to say it, and I know it's not allowed these days, but I have a bit on an 'agin' coming on for Jamie. When you were off in the Galapagos he was acting a bit of a prat then. Is it goofy/immature or does he have a "I'm-above-all-this-so-I'm-going-to-mess-about" thing going on? Time will tell and we will be watching 👀 No one likes anyone too big for their shoes...even creepy Shirley child shoes! Love this show!

There’s a bad bit of me thinks Jamie is cheesed off that he won the Christmas episode and is now doing merely “okay” in the regular show. I think that’s why he’s behaving like a bit of a class clown.

The same bit of me loved when Chris said on the results show that Jamie’s family were delighted they could now see him on TV without being forced to watch eastenders 😂

This is so joyful Marian, who doesn't have a crush on Pete? Oh my days, I may or may not have watched him several times or googled him or spent too many hours watching TOWIE.
