BBC Strictly Come Dancing stars 'livid' as Pete Wicks halts show to say 'I'm so sorry'

Pete Wicks has declared he is "so sorry" after his routine in the BBC Strictly Come Dancing quarter final came to an end. The ITV The Only Way Is Essex star was vying for a spot in the semi final last week but made a major error in his routine.

Mid-performance, he was shown grimacing, after JB Gill and his professional partner Lauren Oakley topped the Strictly Come Dancing Musical Week scoreboard with an almost perfect score of 39. At the end of his routine, Pete was seen muttering "I'm sorry" to Jowita Pryzstal.

Judge Anton du Beke told him: I'm not gonna get over hypercritical on you, because that was a bit of a disaster down there. I don't want to dwell because it was a disaster." Craig Revel Horwood went on to list all the things wrong with it, but he did add he "wasn't bothered" by the mistakes.

When it came to the scores, Craig only gave Pete a score of five. While viewers were mainly agreeing with this mark, the Strictly stars in the studio with Pete were "livid". They where heard shouting out and booing, with one star saying: "What?"

Claudia then confessed: "They are livid about the five." Wicks is now the odds-on favourite to leave Strictly Come Dancing this weekend after finishing bottom of the judges leaderboard for 3 of the last 4 weeks. Wicks, despite those bottom place finishes, has still not appeared in the dreaded dance-off but UK betting sites now feel that this weekend will be time for him to do so and ultimately leave.

Montell Douglas follows Wicks in the market and she has previously been in the dance-off three times including last weekend where she beat Eastenders star Jamie Borthwick. The Gladiator and Olympic Sprinter Douglas has consistently scored well with the judges but viewers haven't warmed to her with the voting seeing her struggle to leave the bottom two.

Bet365's market though sees her winning again in the dance-off with Wicks and Douglas the top two favourites in the odds list.
