The reality star and podcast host just missed out on a place in the final after he was voted off during the semi-final of the BBC One dance contest on Sunday night (December 8) alongside dance partner Jowita Przystal.

Pete and Jowita performed twice during the penultimate episode of the series during the latest live show Saturday night (December 7) alongside their four fellow semi-finalists as they all fought for a place in the upcoming grand final.
