Strictly Come Dancing contestant Pete Wicks has found himself in hot water after a controversial performance that involved what judge Craig Revel Horwood deemed as “illegal” moves. During a Rumba routine with partner Jowita, Pete was criticized for including lifts, which are against the rules of the dance. Craig even went as far as to suggest that Pete should be disqualified for not following the guidelines.
Despite the backlash, fellow judge Motsi Mabuse stepped in to reassure Pete that they would not actually disqualify him. Craig did acknowledge Pete’s dedication and hard work, commending him for his commitment to improving his dancing skills. The show continued with other couples delivering impressive performances, from Couple’s Choice to Viennese Waltz to Quickstep and more.
In addition to the dancing drama, there was a separate controversy involving Wynne Evans and Katya Jones, whose on-air joke sparked backlash and speculation on social media. After video clips circulated, showing Katya looking uncomfortable, both dancers addressed the situation. Wynne expressed feeling “absolutely heartbroken” by the negative attention and clarified that the joke was meant to be lighthearted between friends.
Despite the ups and downs of the latest episode, Strictly Come Dancing continues to captivate viewers with its talented contestants and dazzling performances. The show airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, providing entertainment for fans of dance and reality television alike. As the competition heats up, audiences can expect more twists, turns, and unforgettable moments from their favorite celebrities and their dance partners.
