Janette Manrara will do "everything she can" to get Peter Andre to the 'Strictly Come Dancing' final.
The professional dancer is partnered with the 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker on the current series of the BBC One celebrity dance contest and is determined to see him reach the final.
She said: "Pete deserves to be in the final and I'll do everything I can do get him there."
Peter, 42, previously confessed he was worried his busy schedule would prevent him from winning the competition, but Janette believes they can do it together.
She told OK! magazine: "He's got so much potential. I think he can blow the roof off this competition. I see that in him. It's my job to get it out of him."
Meanwhile, Peter has promised he will sing at Janette's wedding to fellow 'Strictly' star Aljaz Skorjanec if they make it to the final.
He said: "She is hardcore in training but I love Janette like a sister and get on with her so well. When it's training time, it's training time.
"If we get to the final I'll sing at Janette's wedding!"

Anton Stephans has been tipped as the early favourite to win 'The X Factor'.
Simon Cowell's act topped the polls on the first weekend of the live shows, getting almost twice as many votes as Louisa Johnson, according to leaked figures obtained by The Sun newspaper.
However, Seann Miley Moore - who landed in the bottom two on the second live show at the weekend and was eliminated after a sing-off with Mason Noise - came in third place on the first live show, revealing how quickly viewers can change their minds.
Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Anton lied about his traumatic childhood in care.
The wannabe singer, 45, previously claimed he was adopted at the age of seven because of his turbulent relationship with his biological parents Kenneth and Pauline, but a close family friend has since rubbished the alleged "sob story."
A source said: "Anton wasn't adopted, if he was he'd have adopted parents. No one knows why he is saying things like that. It's all rubbish."
The insider added: "He has been telling stories like this for years and it has finally come back to bite him."
And it seems his childhood isn't the only thing Anton - who goes by several names - has lied about as the University of Cambridge reportedly told the publication it has no record of him ever graduating there, despite him previously claiming he'd left with a double first in English and History.

George Lamb is a "terrible" actor.
The 35-year-old presenter has admitted he has no plans to follow in the footsteps of his father Larry Lamb - who has starred in 'EastEnders' and 'Gavin & Stacey' - by becoming an actor because he doesn't think he's "up to it".
George exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I tried it once in a short film and I really didn't believe myself. I thought I was terrible. I always thought it was really easy and I thought, I don't know what all this buzz is around it but I find it really difficult. Generally, I don't really like reading fiction that much, I much prefer to read non-fiction so getting myself to believe something is difficult and so trying to get people to believe me [is even harder]. I'm not bad at lying or fibbing but learning whole big passages of text where I've got to believe I'm a medieval king, I don't know if I'm up to it frankly."
The former 'Big Brother's Little Brother' host also insisted he would never return to the show, which is now known as 'Big Brother's Bit On The Side'.
Asked if he'd ever considered returning, he explained: "Not for one minute. I had a great time. I was really lucky to get that gig. I did something like 300 shows. There are not many jobs in the world where you can get all that live experience. It was definitely a great step towards the latter part of my career, so I'm grateful for it but I'm all good, thanks."
Meanwhile, George recently spent 24 hours exploring the culinary and cultural delights of Rotterdam, with Platinum from American Express.
Showcasing the best of The Netherlands' vibrant second city, George got a taste of the benefits available to Platinum Cardmembers across travel, lifestyle and dining. To watch the video, visit https://youtu.be/T16rZJ1iE3Y

Peter Andre thinks his nerves are holding him back on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'Mysterious Girl' singer - who is partnered by Janette Manrara - is amazed he can confidently play a concert in front of thousands of fans yet when it comes to the more intimate setting of the show's dancefloor, he is riddled with anxiety.
He said: "One of my downfalls in my nerves.
"I'm working on that because that inhibits me giving it my all.
"I play the O2 Arena and don't get nervous, but with this I am...
"The other week I was up at the Trafford Centre in Manchester - I performed three songs in front of around 10-15,000 people. I didn't even have time to rehearse but I was fine.
"It's very different when you are being judged and I don't want to let Janette down."
And Janette admits she's had to make their routines less complex than she'd like because Peter's musical commitments have shortened their rehearsal time.
She said: "I always try to put a lot of content in my routines.
"But because we've had limited time in the past, I couldn't give Pete a routine that would be insanely difficult. I have to be realistic.
"I would rather Pete go out there and give a good performance than try and push him to do something that ends up looking horrible on the night."
Peter is thankful Janette is a tough partner who won't let him have an easy time in rehearsals.
He told OK! magazine: "She's pretty strict. But she is encouraging. If I do something right, she will say excellent. But if I do something wrong...
"From the first show I said I want a partner who'll tell me what to do. I don't want somebody telling me it's great when it isn't.
"Janette is assertive and pushes you. But she does that because she knows you can do it."

The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge plays the role of Winnie, an antique tiger who has a passion for inflating balloons and lost her puff in the episode titled 'Winded Winnie', which will premiere on the Disney Junior channel early next year.
Alesha said of her new role: "'Doc McStuffins' is such a powerful role model for young girls that I jumped at the chance to voice a character. It's also one of my daughter's favourite shows!
"I love that the catchy songs and warm characters from the series are able to teach young children about the importance of self-care, good health and caring for others in such an adorable way. I had a lot of fun in the studio voicing the character and I can't wait for my little girl to see me on it next year!"
The 37-year-old star thinks it's "wonderful" her two-year-old daughter Azura will get to hear her mum voice a character from her "favourite" show.
She added: "Doc has become her new role model and her best friend, and we can't go anywhere without Doc, so when I got the call to do this it was a no brainer. I'm a big fan of the show, and, yeah, my little girl's going to get to hear my voice in her favourite show which is wonderful."
Alesha follows in the footsteps of the US President Barack Obama's wife Michelle Obama and 'Downton Abbey' stars Joanne Froggatt and Lesley Nicol, who have previously guest starred in the children's show.
Alesha Dixon's episode of 'Doc McStuffins' airs on Disney Junior in 2016.

Lady Colin Campbell has signed up for 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
The 66-year-old star - who is best known for her biographies on members of the royal family including Princess Diana - has reportedly arrived in Australia ahead of the new series of the reality show.
Lady Colin - who is also known as Georgie Campbell - was born with a genital defect which led to her being registered as male and brought up as a boy until her late teens, despite her and her family knowing that she was female.
She previously revealed how her parents injected her with male hormones and claimed her father tried to encourage her to commit suicide by saying the "solution" to her problem was "rat poison".
Despite her marriage to Colin Campbell lasting less than two years, she has kept his name.
In 1992, her book 'Diana in Private: The Princess Nobody Knows' - in which she detailed Diana's struggle with bulimia and her affair with James Hewitt - was "dismissed as fantasist" until the information was corroborated by other royal biographies.
Lady Colin is set to join 'Hollyoaks' actress Jorgie Porter in the jungle as well as rumoured contestants Stephanie Constantine, Kieron Dyer, Vicky Pattison and Duncan Bannatyne.

Mel B is to host the UK version of 'Lip Sync Battle'.
The former Spice Girls singer - who was axed from 'The X Factor' earlier this year - will front the hit show when it launches in the UK next year.
She said: "It's great to be asked to present this show.
"Who doesn't love letting out their inner diva?
"The US version has me in fits of laughter and I can't wait to see how the UK show contestants give it their all. I'll be sure to keep everyone in line!"
While LL Cool J hosts the US version of the show alongside model Chrissy Teigen, it's yet to be revealed whether Mel will have a co-host.
Channel 5's commissioning editor Steve Regan said: "When looking at top talent you don't get much bigger than Mel B. Mel has attitude, experience and unmistakable swagger, all vital ingredients for this high-energy show.
"She is the perfect fit and we couldn't be happier to have her on board. If you thought the US series got gutsy, watch out world - the Brits are coming."
The programme sees two celebrities go head-to-head in a bid to out-perform one another while lip-syncing to famous songs.
Some of the most memorable performances on the US version included Anne Hathaway singing Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball' and Terry Crew's topless rendition of 'A Thousand Miles'.

Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat sometimes "disagree" over 'Doctor Who'.
The 57-year-old actor - who plays the titular Time Lord in the BBC sci-fi series - has confessed he and showrunner Moffat don't always see eye to eye when it comes to the "direction" of the show.
He said: "I think Steven's fantastic and the team we have are fantastic, and to be honest my hand are pretty full just playing the Doctor.
"I trust Steven completely. I have my ideas about where we should go and what the character should be like, and generally we always agree on those.
"Sometimes we don't, but it all comes out in the wash and I think it's good to have creative relationships when you can disagree with people."
Capaldi thinks the reason they sometimes disagree is because everyone has their own "very personal idea" of what 'Doctor Who' should be.
According to Digital Spy, he added: "I think everybody has their own idea of what Doctor Who is and it's not the same - everybody doesn't agree, and that's the way it should be.
"So I'm not interested in sticking my oar in where it's not necessary, but I will make my feelings felt if I feel it's going in the wrong direction."

Susannah Constantine has reportedly been offered £200,000 to join 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!'
The fashionista, who is known for co-fronting the BBC's 'What Not to Wear', is set to ditch her designer wardrobe for jungle gear after she was dished out a large sum of money to head to Australia and star in this year's reality TV show.
A source said: "We have been after her for years, so this is a major coup. Susannah hasn't done much telly recently but hopes being on the show will kick start her career again.
"She's a woman who knows her own mind and is not afraid to speak out when she thinks something is wrong."
Show bosses are confident the 53-year-old designer will provide endless entertainment for viewers as they watch her struggle to live without her lavish accessories.
The insider added to The Sun newspaper: "We expect her to clash with the campers and definitely ruffle feathers.
"Fans will have a lot of fun seeing her stripped of her usual clothes and slum it in the jungle for the next few weeks."
Meanwhile, it's believed Susannah, who last appeared on national television eight years ago, will be joined by former footballer Kieron Dyer, 36 in the Australian outback.
A source explained: "Sports stars do notoriously well on the show as they bring with them huge amounts of supporters. As an ex-England player he'll bring a huge audience."
Other celebrities being lined up for this year's show include 'Geordie Shore' star Vicky Pattison, rapper 50 Cent, 'Weakest Link' host Anne Robinson and James Arthur.
'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!', which is fronted by comedy duo Ant and Dec, will hit screens on November 15.
