The Instagram update comes amid romance rumors between the reality star and his professional dance partner Jowita Przystal.
On Monday, Jowita gushed about her partner after the couple reached the fourth week of the competition, following filming week on Saturday.
While Toyah Wilcox became the latest celebrity to be voted off the show during Sunday’s results, Pete and Jowita celebrated the chance to dance again as rumors of the pair’s romance continue to rise.
Jowita described the TOWIE star as ‘incredible’ on her Instagram as she thanked fans for their continued support.
She wrote: ‘And it’s already been a week. I can’t thank you enough for all your support!
‘Your love and kindness mean the world to us. We can’t wait to start another week x
‘@p_wicks01 you gave it your all last night, your hard work and commitment is incredible x’.
Referring to their George And The Jungle themed Samba, she added: “I’m changing ‘George is lucky, I think’ to ‘Ursula is very lucky to be dancing with George.’

The Mail on Sunday has revealed tongues are wagging on the set of the BBC One dance show because the couple are so in love with each other.
Strictly insiders say it has become an ‘open secret’ among the cast and crew that they fell for each other after being linked in August.
One said: ‘Pete is in love with Jowita. He thinks she’s great in every way.
“The feeling is mutual on her part and things have definitely progressed between them. Behind the scenes they are all busy with each other, like a couple in love would be.’
After the couple’s sizzling dance on Saturday, Pete left judge Craig Revel-Horwood blushing with his George Of The Jungle themed routine, but Jowita was also impressed by his skimpy costume.
A backstage video of the pair, posted to the Strictly Instagram account, shows Jowita teasing Pete about his wild look and telling him: ‘I still think you should keep that outfit’.
Commenting on the flirty video, Jowita also posted a love heart for her rumored love interest, saying, “So proud of you!!!!! My king of the jungle! ‘
The judges awarded the pair an impressive 26 for Movie Week – with Craig and Motsi delivering sixes and Shirley and Anton sevens.

Pete later said of the George of the Jungle routine, “I absolutely hate the movie, but I absolutely love the Samba.” George likes the Samba.’
Jowita turned to her co-star and looked up at him, “I imagine you have an idea. You never say no and you always want to be fully involved. You are my number one George. Better than the movie.’
Speaking about their romance, the source also told The Mail: ‘It looks like we might have the first Strictly romance of the series, which is so exciting. They are the talk of the show.
‘The other participants are very happy for them. They always smile. It’s beautiful. It will certainly liven up the show after the terrible saga surrounding Giovanni (Pernice) and Amanda Abbington.”
It’s believed the pair hit it off ‘instantly’ and hung out very publicly at the National Television Awards early last month.
It wouldn’t be the first time that Jowita – the Polish ballroom supremo who guided Hamza Yassin to victory in 2022 – has been in a relationship with one of her Strictly co-stars.
She had an affair last year with former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, 34, and was also linked to dancer Arduino Bertoncello.
Before that, she was in a long-term relationship with her dance partner Michael Danilczuk.
