Pete, who is paired with Jowita Przystal on Strictly, told the blind comedian that he assumed he would be able to beat him and his partner Dianne Buswell.
But as the weeks have gone on, the reality star and Jowita have fallen behind the pair.
Speaking to his rival on his and Sam Thompson's podcast Staying Relevant, Pete told Chris: "We are by far the weakest dancers.
"Annoyingly though, you're f***ing much better than me and it f***'s me off. It really f***'s me off.

"If there's one person at the start of this I thought I could probably beat, it was going to be you. And as it turns out, I can't. And it really f**'s me off."
Laughing, Chris told Pete: "That makes me so happy. That makes happier than getting a 10 off Craig."
Pete asked Chris if he thinks he will ever get a 10 from judge Craig Revel Horwood.
Fellow semi-finalist Chris replied: "No. Well he goes, 'Well the arms are low, the shoulders are high, the knees weren't straight, blah, blah, blah'.

"So on Saturday I thought, I'll cut this off before he gets into it.
"I said, 'Oh, Craig, before you start, I just want to say I've been listening to your new album. I think it's brilliant. We were saying it's probably a 10 out of 10, weren't we Dianne?'"
Strictly's Pete Wicks breaks down in tears as he escapes dance off and reaches the semi-finals time
Pete asked: "Have you actually listened to the album?"
Chris said: "Have I f***. Imagine what that would do to social media."
Pete and Jowita have found themselves in this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing semi-final despite a "disastrous" dance on Saturday.
The pair landed at the bottom of the leaderboard, yet the public vote meant they avoided the dreaded dance off.
Gladiator star Montell Douglas and pro dancer Johannes Radebe left the show after going up against Love Islander Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Škorjanec.
Pete broke down in tears after learning he and Jowita were not going home despite their waltz, which had gone wrong.

Pete has now been described as a 'People's Champion' and insiders think it could even end up walking away with the Glitterball Trophy.
A TV insider said: “It seems that when it comes to Pete, there’s been a surge in backing among the viewers at home who see him as a potential ‘People’s Champion’.
“After years of complaining about people with dance experience excelling on Strictly, he is someone who’s obviously a complete amateur who’s thrown himself into the contest and embodies the spirit of the show.
