FANS queued in their dozens today (Sunday, 3 November) to get a picture and signature with TV celebrity and Strictly contestant Pete Wicks who was visiting Waterstones at Lakeside, West Thurrock. 

A queue snaked out of the book store and through the centre's atrium.

The Essex-born personality, who is promoting his latest book, 'Never Enough' has featured in a wide range of reality TV shows since making his name when he joined The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) in 2015.

Last month the personality, who has a raft of romantic assignations to his name, announced he was quitting reality television after being 'banned' from some dating shows. 

Viewers will find out tonight if the celebrity and his dance partner Jowita Przystał have survived week seven of Strictly. The show airs at 7.20pm on BBC1.
