BBC Strictly star Pete Wicks 'could leave show' as fans hit back

Fans of BBC show Strictly Come Dancing have asked who is voting for Pete Wicks as the reality star remains in the competition despite finishing at the bottom of the leader board twice. The 36-year-old is set to leave the show at the weekend, according to online bookies.

As a complete non-dancer, former TOWIE star Pete was one of the big underdogs on the BBC show from the start. And while he has now finished bottom of the leader board twice, there is clearly a lot of support for him out there as on both occasions he hasn't ended up in the dance-off.

He has sailed through with pro-dancer partner Jowita Przystal as other celebrities have been sent packing. In a high scoring night in the Tower Ballroom for Strictly's Blackpool special, Pete and Jowita aimed to impress the judges with a cha cha cha to Right Said Fred's hit 'I'm Too Sexy'.

POLL: Will you be visiting the German Market this year?

Pete wasn't keen on the song choice from the start and he went onto make a number of mistakes during the routine on Saturday night. This left him and Jowita four points adrift at the foot of the leader board on 27 out of 40, having got just a 4 from Craig Revel-Horwood, EdinburghLive reports.

The duo looked shocked when Strictly host Tess Daly announced they were safe. But some fans hit back at the news, with one asking on social media: "Who the hell is voting for Pete?!"

Brumwish 2024 - buy a gift for a child in need

BrumWish 2024 is Birmingham Live's festive drive to get thousands of gifts to children and young people across our city - among them the homeless, the vulnerable, kids in care, kids who are poorly or struggling, and kids who have little.

There are THREE simple ways to help.

1. Buy a new gift from the Brumwish 2024 Amazon giftlist. In just a click your donation will be whizzing its way to our volunteers at Edgbaston Stadium.
2. Donate money to the appeal fund hosted by Thrive Together Birmingham - this will help pay for gifts for kids with specialist needs or specific wishes.
3. Buy a gift and, even better, rope in friends, neighbours and workmates to do the same, then drop off your pressies at Edgbaston Stadium, Edgbaston Road, B5 7QU on Friday 6th December, 10am - 3pm; Saturday 7th December, 10am - 1pm; or Monday 9th December, 10am - 1pm.

Thanks to our partnership with #Toys4Birmingham, every single gift will find a good home in the loving care of a child living in B&Bs or hotels, hostels or refuges, children receiving support from specialist organisations and charities, and families being supported by children's centres and charities around the city.

Making up the Brumwish and Toys4Birmingham gang are Thrive Together Birmingham, Birmingham Playcare Network, Warwickshire Cricket Foundation (the charitable arm of Warwickshire County Cricket Club), Birmingham Forward Steps and BirminghamLive/Birmingham Mail.

Thank you to Amazon UK and the amazing team at the Sutton Coldfield depot for their support.
