Pete Wicks reveals secret health issue
On the Staying Relevant podcast in May, Pete discussed his recurring health issue. He shared: “I may have to go back to having an eye patch. I’m going to tell the truth here.
“I used to be called Pirate Pete, it’s a weird nickname, but actually it was my mum that first called me that when I was a kid because I had a lazy eye when I used to get tired.”
Sam then giggled as Pete asked: “Why are we laughing at my affliction? So I had this eye patch to try to correct it, which it did, so that was great.”
However, he added: “The bad eye is coming back as I’m getting older, it’s going for a walk.”
‘It is getting quite bad’
Sam then asked: “So what are you going to do?” Pete replied: “I have to go and see an eye specialist to see whether or not we can re-train it or whether I am going to have some kind of surgery.”
Misunderstanding the diagnosis, Sam proclaimed: “They are going to get rid of the eyeball!” Pete then clarified: “I’m not going to have it removed.”
Pete also revealed Loose Women star and pal Olivia Attwood brought up his eye. Pete said: “I’ve started noticing, it was Liv that [bleep]ing noticed it. It was Liv that mentioned it then.”
Pete then admitted it was getting worse as Sam agreed: “It is getting quite bad.” Pete snapped back: “Well great, I’m glad I don’t feel conscious about it,” before revealing his eye appointment was in a “couple of weeks”.
Watch Pete on Sunday Brunch on Sunday (November 16) at 10am on Channel 4.
