Strictly Come Dancing fans were distracted by Pete Wick's outfit choice as he hit the dancefloor on Saturday night. The show returned for its annual live show from Blackpool as the eight remaining couples performed at the resort's iconic Tower Ballroom.

However it was Pete's turn on the dancefloor - and his costume choice - that got viewers at home talking. Reality star Pete and his partner Jowita Przystal danced a cha cha to I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred.

At one point he lay on top of the other dancers and later danced with his back to the audience. He finished the routine wearing a pink fluffy jacket.

Judge Shirley Ballas called the performance “very entertaining, I don’t think I’ll forget this evening for as long as I live”, and praised the “good isolation, clean neckline”.
