Pete Wicks, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, recently revealed that his dance partner Jowita Pryzstal has been dealing with an injury that may take months to heal. Despite this setback, Pete has continued to impress the audience and was even saved by their votes last Saturday after landing at the bottom of the leaderboard.
However, behind the scenes, the pair has faced some difficulties, as Pete shared on his podcast with I'm A Celebrity winner Sam Thompson. He explained that Jowita had suffered from whiplash on Monday, which is a neck injury caused by a sudden movement of the head. Although it usually takes two to three months to recover, it can cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving the head.
Despite the injury, Jowita has been pushing through and giving her all in their rehearsals. Pete even expressed that it would be a "miracle" if they made it through to the next round, which would be a couple's choice dance and one week away from the highly anticipated Blackpool show.
Last Saturday, Pete managed to avoid the bottom two despite receiving a low score for his performance as Freddie Mercury. He took to Instagram to express his gratitude and humbleness, saying that he was "overwhelmed" by the support. He also thanked Jowita for her hard work and acknowledged that he wouldn't have made it this far without her.
In their pre-recorded conversation, Pete also shared how emotional this week's song choice is for him. He revealed that he hasn't heard the song in its entirety since his father's funeral, making it a significant and emotional performance for him.
Fans have been rushing to show their support for Pete and Jowita, with many calling him a "national treasure" and expressing their hope that he will win the competition. This comes after the pair faced accusations of performing "totally illegal" lifts during their dance to Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger." However, they were not disqualified and have continued to impress the judges and the audience alike.
As the competition continues, Pete and Jowita will surely give it their all and continue to win over the hearts of the viewers. Don't miss their performance on Saturday at 6:35pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
