<\/p>\nTOWIE hunk Pete Wicks proved his friendship with I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2019s Sam Thompson as he opened up about his awkward intimate wax with Made In Chelsea hunk.<\/p>\n
On Monday (November 27), his best friend joined Tyler West on Kiss FM as he discussed his pal\u2019s first week on the ITV reality show. But it didn\u2019t take long before the show went off the rails when the 35-year-old was asked how close the pair have grown over the years. <\/p>\n
It was at this point that the TV star shared what has to be their most embarrassing story to date. He told the host: \u201cI took Sam for a waxing, and I had to hold a piece of his anatomy because it had shrivelled up so that she could wax it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a real struggle just between the index finger and thumb because I just had to pull it up and stretch it out so that the wax could be applied.\u201d Tyler couldn\u2019t help but ask: \u201cHow long did this go on for?\u201d to which Pete chuckled: \u201cThere wasn\u2019t much to wax mate, I'll be honest with you. It didn\u2019t go on for too long.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As Tyler struggled not to laugh during his take, Pete insisted: \u201cThis was recorded and there is video evidence" before he added: \u201cI don\u2019t know two mates that are closer than that.\u201d Later on in the interview, Tyler asked Pete to reveal something that he\u2019s never told his pal.<\/p>\n
Despite the show derailing during his hilarious waxing tale, the ITVBe star went on to shower his friend with praise. He gushed: \u201cDespite the fact that he looks at me like his dad, I actually look up to Sam.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I've never told him that, because he\u2019s one of the happiest, most genuine people I know. And I love that about him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI would never tell him that because there\u2019d be tears and he\u2019d never let me live it down, but that is the God\u2019s honest truth. I think he\u2019s a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful human being, and I wish I was more like him.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was at this point that the former Strictly star asked him if he was crying to which Pete confessed: \u201cI\u2019m just really emotional\u201d as he pretended to wipe a tear away from his cheek. The dynamic duo first became friends when they appeared on the reality dating show Celebs Go Dating back in 2018. <\/p>\n
After striking up an unlikely friendship, the pair have gone from strength to strength. The pair have gone on to launch their own podcast and TV show together as well as pulling various pranks on each other online.<\/p>\n
