Pete Wicks, the charming and talented Strictly Come Dancing star, has recently been the target of backlash and criticism from online trolls. However, amidst the negativity, his loyal fanbase has flooded him with praise and support, helping him sail through to the quarterfinals alongside his partner, Jowita Przystał.
Despite their unwavering support, Pete has faced a tough journey on the show, even receiving death threats from viewers who believe he should have been eliminated already. But with determination and hard work, the Towie alum has continued to improve week after week, earning him a spot in the quarterfinals.
This weekend, for Musicals Week, Pete and Jowita performed a beautiful waltz, with Pete channeling the character of Tony from West Side Story and Jowita playing his lover, Maria. Although there were some noticeable mistakes in the routine, the judges still praised Pete's progress and improvement, with Shirley Ballas calling it "extraordinary."
However, not all of the judges were as impressed, with Craig Revel Horwood criticizing Pete's footwork and giving him a low score of only five points. Despite this, Pete remained humble and apologized to Jowita for his mistakes, showing his dedication and determination to improve.
As a result of their lower score, Pete and Jowita landed at the bottom of the leaderboard, causing some viewers to express their thoughts on social media. While some believe it may be time for Pete to bow out of the competition, many others praised his progress and reminded others that he is what Strictly is all about - someone who is not a professional dancer, working hard and improving week after week.
The emotional performance even brought some viewers to tears, with many taking to social media to express their admiration for Pete and Jowita's chemistry and storytelling. However, not everyone agreed with the judges' scores, with some feeling that Pete deserved a higher score for his efforts.
After a clip of their dance was shared on the official Strictly Instagram page, fans flooded the comments with supportive messages, applauding Pete for his incredible progress as a "non-dancer."
Speaking after the dance, Pete shared how much he has grown to love dancing, despite starting out with no experience. He also thanked his partner Jowita for always supporting him and making him feel like he was truly dancing on the floor.
However, Pete also opened up about the toll that the show has taken on him, revealing that he has received death threats from viewers. He reminded everyone that at the end of the day, Strictly is just a dance show and not worth wishing harm upon someone.
Despite the criticism and negativity, Pete's fanbase has continued to support and carry him through the competition, hailing his progress as "outstanding." However, his presence on the show has also rubbed some people the wrong way, with some claiming that the show has tried to portray him as a "joke" act.
But through it all, Pete remains grateful for the opportunity to be on Strictly and continues to work hard to improve and make his partner proud. As the competition continues, we can't wait to see what other amazing performances Pete and Jowita will bring to the dance floor.
