NEW Strictly Come Dancing recruits Pete Wicks and Sam Quek have been spotted enjoying a boozy night out together ahead of the live shows.
Both Pete, 36, and Sam, 35, were pictured chatting away and then sharing a joke as they hung out at the Strictly cast hotel.
They were also spotted walking arm in arm down a corridor of the hotel, as they clutched their wine glasses and enjoyed drinks, as they let their hair down ahead of Strictly.
The animated pair looked at ease in each other’s company, as they strolled along in relaxed clothing.
Olympic gold medalist Sam donned a black hoodie and sweatpants, while Towie star Pete opted for a zip up jacket, white top and green trousers.
Pete has been enjoying socialising recently, ahead of the launch of Strictly, and sparked romance rumours with Love Island star Faye Winter last month.
At Vicky Pattison’s wedding, Faye and Pete unable to resist the photobooth.
Among the photos, shared by Faye on her Instagram Stories, the pair were seen cuddling up with Pete giving her a bear hug from behind.
In another, he is seen getting down on one knee in a mock proposal.
The affectionate snaps come nearly a year after they were first seen getting close at the NTAs.
As well as Faye, Pete was also seen getting close to another Love Island star in recent weeks.
The Sun revealed last month that Pete and Love Island's Maura struck up a romance when they were spotted smooching at Broadwick Soho Hotel.
Pete is known for his string of romances with Towie stars Megan McKenna, Chloe Sims and Ella Rae Wise.
However, in recent years he's kept any romances close to his chest, focusing on his work particularly with partner-in-crime Sam Thompson.
Meanwhile, Olympic star Sam has had her husband by her side through her career and he'll also be there when she takes to the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor.
Sam Quek's husband Thomas Mairs is a property entrepreneur and was even featured on Channel 4’s Secret Millionaire.
He runs his own student housing business in Liverpool.
Sam and Tom have been together for eight years after meeting in a Liverpool bar.
They welcomed their first child back in March, 2021, after a "traumatic" C-section.
After hours of labour, baby Molly Doris was born.
Sam fell pregnant again seven months after her daughter arrived.
She gave birth in March 2022 to a son called Isaac Gregory Mairs.
