Strictly's Pete Wicks faces calls to be 'axed' from show by fans after latest routine

Pete Wicks was the first celebrity to take to the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor on Saturday 23 November, and within minutes fans were rushing to social media to say that it is time for the reality TV star to go home.

With only seven couples remaining, Pete and his professional partner Jowita Pryzstal danced a Tango to the eighties hit song Easy Lover, but viewers were less than impressed with the dance, Pete’s moves, and even the choice of song. “Rubbish opening to the show actually!!!

Definitely in the dance off,” wrote one viewer, while a second said: “I actually cannot believe it is WEEK TEN and Pete Wicks is still here.” Another fan commented: “While Pete’s posture and line are so improved, I’m gonna be so sad if Pete isn’t in the b2 and someone else goes this week,” and a fourth added: “Overall, it’s a decent performance but time to go.” Pete and Jowita’s choice of the Philip Bailey and Phil Collins hit didn’t go down well either. “Not only was that an appalling choice of music for a Tango the singing was atrocious,” said one fan, and a second said: “And straight away we have an incomprehensibly inappropriate song to go with a tango.” Another asked: “Anyone else thought the music was much quicker than the dance?

So weird.” Earlier this week, Pete admitted he was “petrified” to appear on this week’s Strictly, as the show will feature a first ever Samba-Thon.
