BBC Strictly Come Dancing couple given 'free pass' through this week and into Blackpool

BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers have rushed to slam the show for seemingly giving a couple a "free pass" to Blackpool. BBC viewers fans have all rushed to make the same prediction about the star's upcoming dance on Saturday night's live show.

Strictly Come Dancing fans are convinced a celeb's next dance will see them through to Blackpool. ITV The Only Way Is Essex star Pete Wicks is part of Strictly's class of 2024 and the Channel 4 Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins favourite is partnered with pro dancer Jowita Przystał.

Last week two were bottom of the leaderboard with 22 points but this Saturday the pair are performing their Couple's Choice to The Best by Nicotine Dolls. One person wrote on Reddit: "Couples choice for weakest dancers. Definitely helping get Pete through."

Another added: "Pete's couples choice is gonna see him sneak through again isn't it." A third commented: "The producers have given up on trying to even keep in JB and Shayne who are probably due to face each other in the DO with Chris & Pete playing the CC card."

And another said: "I think this was the best time for Pete and Chris to do their couple's choice. oth have had a couple of rough weeks now, and this could help them build back their momentum." Another said: "I’m loving Pete! He’s new to me too having never watched Towie or any of the other tripe. I defo pre-judged him as a bad boy, womanizer, cocky etc…

"But he’s full of self doubt & the way he talks about his mum, Nan etc says a lot - he’s a complex character but I like him a lot & I hope he does well. I think he got the perfect partner as Jowita is a sweetie." It comes after former pro Ola Jordan said Pete was on "borrowed time" on the show.
