Pete Wicks first graced our screens in TOWIE back in 2015, at the age of 35. He remained a regular cast member for seven years until he decided to leave in 2022. During his TOWIE tenure, Pete made appearances on numerous other reality shows, such as Celebs Go Dating, Celebrity MasterChef, Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls and The Celebrity Circle. In 2022, he also featured in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins but had to bow out early due to an injury. This prompted him to have another go at the show this year, despite suffering further.
Pete also stripped for last year's The Real Full Monty Christmas special, raising awareness about cancer and its symptoms and now he's also attempting to wow the judges in this year's Strictly Come Dancing, partnered with Jowita Przystal.
Given his extensive television career, it's not surprising that Pete has amassed a considerable net worth, boosted by his various entertainment and business ventures over the years. Let's take a closer look...
What is Pete Wicks' net worth?
Popular Net Worth estimates Pete's net worth to be between £3-4 million. In addition to his TV work, Pete has found success in other sectors, contributing to his earnings.
How has Pete Wicks earned his money?
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. 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.
