Both Vicky and Pete are two of the celebrity judges on new E4 reality TV series, The Underdog: Josh Must Win.

Joined by Love Island's Amber Gill and DJ Nick Grimshaw, it is there mission to guide normal lad Josh to victory in a new programme.

Josh is a sweet-faced wrestler and owner or four dogs and, if he wins, the whole cast scoop a portion of the prize pot too.

Yet with such a huge cash fee at stake it's understandable tempers would flare on the panel, who are secretly watching and controlling the action.

Now a teaser clip released by E4 shows Vicky, dressed in a red jumpsuit, slapping a wet fish around Pete's face.

He is dressed in an orange jumpsuit and lets out a squeal of pain as the scales hit his cheek.

The rest of the stars appear stunned yet it remains to be seen why Vicky acted as she did - though it is bound to be in light-hearted jest.

The panel are tasked with bringing the prize pot up to a potential maximum of £100,000.

Meanwhile, Josh is completely unaware all of this is happening - and that he has a team of four famous faces in his corner.
