Former The Only Way is Essex star Pete said he noticed his skin has been “quite bad” after his appearance on the hit BBC show. It was a moment on a photoshoot however that left Pete wondering if she should take action.

He explained: “I had a photoshoot and the glam people that were doing up my hair and all that sort of f***** stuff, and I said my skin’s been quite bad recently and I’ve been doing Strictly and all the other stuff and she literally went to me, ‘yeah, there’s a lot of lumps and bumps there, have you thought about Botox?’ And I am thinking about it.
“I have no issue with people doing whatever to make them happy but my face is drooping and I do feel at 36 years old I should maybe start looking at something.”

Sam explained he thought there was one subtle reason why Pete may be having issues with his skin. He responded: “Can I tell you why that is? Because you don’t smile enough.”
Pete joked he was keen to avoid the procedures Sam has undergone previously because it “didn’t go well”. Sam explained he has tried salmon sperm injections which were “fine” but Botox “f******” him.

He continued: “Now I have nothing in my face and people are still telling me ‘why have you ruined your face?’ But I don’t understand because I don’t know what I’ve done. It’s worn off.”
Pete however was worried he would look too young if he had the Botox injections. He added: “I don’t want to look like a f****** kid. But I mean, because I lost a lot of weight on Strictly, the old wattle’s gone – my face has really slimmed.
“I’m still not really drinking by the way. I’m just drinking like a normal person now and I’ve been out a couple of times since the Strictly thing and I’ve had a few drinks but I’ve been going home at a normal time and I’m not drinking alone anymore.”
Sam quipped Pete was embracing 2025 with a “new year, new me” outlook.
