During tonight's episode of Strictly Come Dancing, judge Craig Revel Horwood was not impressed with one particular couple's performance. He called for Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał to be disqualified from the show due to what he deemed a "totally illegal" choice in their dance routine.
The couple, consisting of The Only Way Is Essex star Pete and professional dancer Jowita, had chosen to dance to the Oasis hit "Don't Look Back In Anger." However, their Rumba sparked fury in Craig, who pointed out that the lifts they used were against the rules. "There were two lifts, and in a Rumba, one foot should always remain on the floor," he explained while giving his verdict. "A professional would definitely be marked down for that, and I even think it warrants a disqualification, darling. We must follow the rules."
Host Motsi Mabuse quickly reassured Pete and Jowita, as well as the audience and fans, that they would not be disqualified. Despite the criticism, Craig did commend the couple for their commitment and hard work. "I can see very clearly that you have been studying and studying and studying," he said.
Pete and Jowita have become a fan favorite pair, with some even speculating that they may have developed feelings for each other during filming. This was further fueled by a supposed kiss between the two during their American Smooth routine. However, Pete has denied any romantic involvement, stating that there was no lip-locking involved.
In other news, comedian Chris McCausland brought viewers to tears with his emotional routine alongside partner Dianne Buswell. Their Waltz to "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Gerry and the Peacemakers was a beautiful tribute to Chris' hometown of Liverpool. The combination of his solo dance, heartfelt steps, and touching VT led to an emotional performance that resonated with many.
Last week's live show also caused a bit of controversy with contestants Wynne Evans and Katya Jones. During their performance, opera singer Wynne placed his hand on Katya's waist and kept reaching it further around her midriff until she removed it with a smile. Additionally, he attempted to high-five Katya, but she seemed uninterested. However, Katya has since stated that she was not uncomfortable and that it was just a "silly joke."
