Pete Wicks has become the eleventh celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing as he narrowly misses out on a place in the final to Tasha Ghouri.

Now, the star has spoken out about his experience on the BBC series. During Sunday’s results programme, Pete, 36, and his dance partner Jowita Przystal faced the dance-off against Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and her professional dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Pete wrote: "The past 3-4 months have been nothing short of incredible. I spent 12 weeks saying my time in the show was gonna be over and each week I was wrong…until now.

I couldn’t be happier with the way it ended, there is no one I would have rather been in a dance off with than Tasha. She is the most beautiful dancer, the most beautiful person inside and out and I’m so proud of her for making the final because she deserves it so much. "The only reason I stayed in the show for so long is because of you, the people.
