Pete Wicks Announces Fourth Series of Award-Winning Dog Rescue Documentary
Former TOWIE star Pete Wicks has confirmed exciting news for fans of his heartfelt documentary series For Dogs' Sake, revealing that filming for a fourth installment will commence shortly. The television personality made the announcement during a recent episode of his podcast Staying Relevant, which he co-hosts with Sam Thompson.
Return to Filming and Charitable Impact
Wicks disclosed that production for the new series will begin in just two weeks, with hopes for a release later this year. The show first launched in January 2025, featuring Wicks volunteering at Dogs Trust rehoming centers, and has since produced three successful series that have resonated deeply with audiences.
During the podcast discussion, Wicks mentioned encountering his television rival Alison Hammond, who films For The Love Of Dogs at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. He remarked, 'It just goes to show how amazing these charities are', highlighting the positive impact of both programs in promoting animal welfare causes.
Emotional Moments and Award Recognition
The award-winning series, which received a TV Choice Award, doesn't shy away from difficult realities. Previous episodes have covered:
- High-stakes veterinary surgeries for rescue animals
- The care and rehabilitation of abandoned puppies
- Heartbreaking encounters with terminally ill dogs
One particularly emotional moment featured Wicks meeting Theo, an Italian Mastiff suffering from serious health conditions including dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia. The dog, who had experienced malnutrition in his previous home, was given just twelve months to live despite his young age and cheerful disposition.
Wicks was visibly moved during this encounter, telling cameras: 'I'm just heartbroken. Such a beautiful dog, he's got so much soul and so much personality, he should be in a home.' The veterinarian involved noted that finding Theo a suitable home would require 'a special someone to come forward and take on the burden knowing it's not going to be for a particularly long period of time.'
Personal Life Developments
The announcement about the documentary series comes amid personal developments in Wicks' life. Recent weeks have seen speculation about his relationship with Olivia Attwood, following their public display of affection in London last month. Attwood separated from footballer Bradley Dack in January, and sources close to the couple confirm their romance began after her split.
During their podcast appearance together, the pair discussed wedding plans without directly addressing their relationship status. Attwood mentioned her preference for a Las Vegas wedding, while Wicks joked about attending her hypothetical hen party. Both avoided explicit confirmation of their romantic involvement during the broadcast.
A friend of the couple commented: 'Their passionate romance only started in the last few weeks, since she has split from Bradley. Pete has been a shoulder to cry on and there for Olivia during this really tough time.'
Future Projects and Continued Advocacy
As Wicks prepares to return to filming For Dogs' Sake, the series continues to serve as an important platform for highlighting the work of animal rescue organizations. The show's success demonstrates public appetite for content that combines celebrity involvement with genuine charitable work.
With three successful series already completed and a fourth in production, Wicks' documentary has established itself as a significant contribution to animal welfare programming on British television, blending emotional storytelling with practical support for rescue organizations.
