Pete Wicks, a regular on The Only Way Is Essex for seven years until 2022, has also appeared on numerous other reality shows including Celebs Go Dating, Celebrity MasterChef, Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls and The Celebrity Circle. In 2022, he participated in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins but had to withdraw early due to an injury.

Despite this setback, he decided to try again this year, but unfortunately injured himself again during the show, according to OK! Last year, Pete stripped down for The Real Full Monty Christmas special, raising awareness about cancer and its symptoms. Now, he's trying to impress the judges on this year's Strictly Come Dancing, dancing alongside Jowita Przystal.

Given his extensive TV career, it's no surprise that Pete has accumulated a significant net worth, bolstered by his various entertainment and business ventures over the years. So what is Pete's net worth?

According to Popular Net Worth, Pete's net worth is estimated to be between £3-4 million, reports the Mirror.

Besides his TV work, Pete has found success in other sectors, contributing to his earnings. Most notably, he co-hosts a podcast with his best mate, former Made in Chelsea star and 2023 king of the jungle, Sam Thompson.

The podcast is aptly named Staying Relevant. The comedy podcast sees the duo delve into every aspect of fame, as well as what it takes to stay in the limelight.

Pete and Sam launched their podcast in 2022, which has since been nominated for awards and amassed over five million downloads. The duo have also taken their successful comedy show on the road.
