Reality star Sam Thompson has finally spilled the beans on the hilarious prank he pulled on his close friend Pete Wicks during their time together on *Strictly Come Dancing*.
After months of teasing and building up anticipation, Sam opened up about the cheeky stunt, which had fans in stitches.
The prank, which took place during Pete’s time on the popular dance show, had everyone talking, and Sam’s latest revelation has only added fuel to the fire.
Thompson, known for his appearances on *Made in Chelsea* and his close friendship with Pete,
explained how he orchestrated the playful prank while Pete was fully immersed in his *Strictly* experience.
While the show typically focuses on dance routines and the pressure of competition,
Sam’s prank served as a reminder of the lighter side of life and the fun that can be had even amidst the seriousness of the show.
In a recent interview, Sam revealed the details behind the prank that involved a mix of humor, misdirection, and a lot of planning. “Pete is always the one to prank me, so I thought it was time to turn the tables,” Sam confessed. “I know he was under a lot of pressure with the competition, so I decided to give him a little distraction—something he wouldn’t expect.”
The prank involved a series of phone calls, mysterious messages, and a few well-timed misdirections. Sam orchestrated a fake crisis involving Pete’s *Strictly* rehearsals, convincing him that the production team had accidentally misplaced his costume for the upcoming performance. As Pete is known for his sense of humor and good-natured spirit, Sam knew that he could get away with a harmless prank without crossing any boundaries.
The prank began when Sam sent Pete a series of texts claiming that his costume for the big performance had been lost. Pete, naturally, was concerned and began to panic, trying to figure out how he would manage without his outfit. To heighten the tension, Sam sent fake updates claiming that the costume was still nowhere to be found, all the while pretending to be part of the production team. The more Pete tried to figure out the situation, the more the tension built.
But, in true prankster style, Sam wasn’t done yet. He upped the ante by sending Pete a picture of the missing costume—except, of course, the costume wasn’t actually missing. It was simply a part of Sam’s elaborate plan to keep Pete on edge. The timing was impeccable, and Pete, completely unaware of the joke, kept trying to figure out how to save the situation.
Finally, after several phone calls and a few moments of intense confusion, Sam couldn’t hold the prank any longer. He burst out laughing and told Pete the truth—there was no costume crisis, and it was all just a joke. Initially, Pete was caught off guard, but as soon as he realized he’d been pranked, he couldn’t help but laugh along with his friend. “I have to admit, it got me good,” Pete said after the prank was revealed. “Sam always knows how to mess with me, but this one was next level. I was genuinely worried about that costume!”
The prank quickly became the talk of the *Strictly* set, with fellow contestants and crew members praising Sam for his creativity and Pete for being a good sport. The light-hearted moment gave both friends a chance to laugh together, something that can be difficult to do during the intense and competitive nature of the dance show.
Fans of both Sam and Pete were quick to share their reactions to the prank on social media. Many expressed how much they enjoyed seeing the duo’s friendship and how the prank brought a refreshing break from the usual stress and drama associated with *Strictly Come Dancing*. “That’s what we love about Pete and Sam—they keep it real and know how to have fun,” one fan commented. “This prank was hilarious, and it’s nice to see them having such a great time together.”
While Pete’s *Strictly* journey was filled with highs and lows, the prank added a moment of levity to what can often be a very intense experience. For Pete, it served as a reminder that even in the competitive world of dance, there’s always room for fun and laughter.
Now that the prank has been revealed, fans are eager to see what other mischievous antics Sam might have up his sleeve in the future. Pete, ever the good sport, is already anticipating the next time Sam will try to pull something on him. “I’m definitely keeping my guard up now,” Pete laughed. “Sam’s got a knack for this stuff, so I’ll be ready for anything next time.”
As for Sam, he’s just happy to have pulled off the perfect prank and kept his friend on his toes. It’s clear that their friendship is one based on laughter, fun, and, of course, a little bit of mischief.
