Pete teased the other projects that he has in the pipeline in an interview with The Daily Mirror . He said: “It's a different year for me, I've obviously taken a step back from TOWIE for a number of different reasons, the timing was right. I've got so much going on, I'm just about to start a brand-new TV project but it's going to be a very busy year.” Carol, meanwhile, can currently be seen on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.
