Strictly Come Dancing fans were left baffled on Saturday night over a 'wardrobe blunder' on the show.

During the latest instalment, Pete Wicks appeared on stage wearing a grey shirt and black trousers with his hair sweptback. Just seconds later, Shayne Ward also appeared on stage wearing a grey shirt and black trousers with his hair sweptback, leaving viewers confused.

Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: "Why is shayne dressed as pete? #strictly", a different account wrote: "Shayne and Pete look alike this week #Strictly!", another joked: "me and my friend when we copy each others homework : #strictly" while a different account added: "Shayne there, seems to be morphing into Pete Wicks! #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing #StrictlyComeDancing24 #SCD."

It comes after DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles became the third contestant to leave Strictly after a nail-biting dance off against former Coronation Street actor Shayne last weekend.

Nick, 62, and his professional dance parter Luba Mushtuk received 21 points out of 40 from the judges for their Charleston to Rain On The Roof from the film Paddington 2 and was second from the bottom of the leaderboard last weekend.

When asked by host Tess Daly about his time on the show, Nick said at the time: "I've really, really been surprised by how much I've loved doing it and by two things that happen.

"One is how much you care each week, and the other is how much you don’t want to let down your partner. The only reason I could do this is simply because of Luba’s changes, she's been amazing. There are some amazing dancers up there, and I will love watching the rest of the series."

A tearful Luba added: "I’ve never met someone as determined as you, and I remember you saying that if you do your best, you’ll be very happy. I think you did more than your best. Thank you."

Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
