Pete Wicks has revealed that he ‘prefers dogs to people’ ahead of his new documentary Pete Wicks: For Dogs’ Sake airing.
The former TOWIE and Strictly star, 36, has admitted that he couldn’t stop crying while filming ’emotional’ documentary about rescue hounds.
Pete owns two rescued French bulldogs – Eric and Peggy – who has one eye and he regularly posts about his love for them on social media.
Speaking in a new interview with The Radio Times he said of making his new documentary: ‘It might sound harsh, but it’s true – I prefer dogs to people. I don’t think you realise how much dogs will change things until you have one.
‘Filming the series was a privilege, but also emotionally difficult. I don’t mind saying that. I cried several times. It’s heartbreaking when you witness a dog arrive after a bad start in life, you can see the sadness in their eyes.
‘It’s a series I’ve been desperate to do for a decade. Why? Well, it’s estimated that there are around 100,000 dogs in UK rescue centres. But only one in five people who get a dog, get a rescue.’
