Mark Wright is CONVINCED Peter Andre will win Strictly Come Dancing

Mark Wright is hanging around outside Peter Andre’s house. “PETE! PETE, MATE! PETE!” Peter Andre cautiously sticks his head through a window. “OI, PETE! LET’S DANCE THE TANGO AGAIN, MATE!” “Mark, it’s 4am. We’re not doing this again. I need sleep, Mark. SLEEP.” “OH GO ON MATE – JUST A LITTLE TWIRL?”

Yeah, so it turns out Mark Wright is a big fan of Peter Andre’s dancing skills – he’s even tipped the Mysterious Girl singer to bag the prestigious Strictly Come Dancing trophy at the end of the current competition.

Speaking to the Mirror, the Essex boy said Pete definitely has what it takes to win.

“He is going to do very well. And even if he doesn’t win the entire series, he’ll still make it to the end,” he said.

“The guy is charming, he's really loved and he’s obviously going to be able to dance because he’s been a pop star.”

Huh. Try telling Kavana that, Mark.

The ex-TOWIE star opened up about his time on the show, admitting that he missed wife Michelle Keegan loads while he was training, but it had to be done.

“As long as you make sure you get enough personal time so that your home life is as perfect as can be, then you’re fine. You just have to balance it. That’s all,” he added.

Catch the Strictly contestants’ first dance on Saturday 25 September on BBC1 from 9pm.
