Pete Wicks had been a regular on The Only Way Is Essex for seven years until his departure in 2022. During his stint on TOWIE, he also made appearances on a host of other reality shows including Celebs Go Dating, Celebrity MasterChef, Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls and The Celebrity Circle. In 2022, he was part of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins but had to withdraw early due to an injury. Despite this setback, he decided to give it another shot this year, but sadly hurting himself again during the show, reports OK!

Last year, Pete bared all 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. 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 kicked off the podcast in 2022, and since its launch, it’s been up for awards and has racked up over five million downloads. It’s also topped the comedy chart multiple times and the pair have capitalised on its success by taking it on the road.

In other areas of Pete’s business ventures, he penned a book in 2018 titled For The Love Of Frenchies: The Dogs That Changed My Life. He also boasts a modelling career and a social media fan base of 1.5 million.

A recent study from HypeAuditor suggests that influencers with over one million followers can rake in over £1,000 per post – so it’s probable that Pete pockets a hefty sum from Instagram.

Meanwhile, Pete has had success collaborating with other businesses, using his platform to team up with big-name brands like Crystal Ski Holidays, Just Eat and Sky TV.
