BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers demand star is booted off show because's it's 'time'

BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans have demanded a star leave the show - saying: "It's time." BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers hit out at the Only Way Is Essex star Pete Wicks during Musical Week after he came bottom of the leaderboard with Jowita Przystal.

Anton Du Beke said of the dance: “It is a classic waltz. It was a beautiful moment, really. I’m not going to get over-critical on you, because it was a bit of a disaster down there, I don’t want to dwell on this disaster.

“I don’t want to patronise you, because you’ve come so far in your dancing development. It’s extraordinary, you’re unrecognisable.” "Pete's time is up I am sorry but he cannot make a good semi-finalist in any world. It'll be a complete injustice if anyone else is eliminated over him this week," one X user wrote.

A second penned: "Sorry but Pete actually needs to leave tonight...it's his time." While a third said on Twitter, now X: "I'm sorry it's week 11 and Pete is tripping over his feet doing the most basic choreography...he needs to go."

And another wrote: "Why is Pete the ONLY contestant that never receives criticism? He messes up constantly, but they’re happy to ignore it, because it’s Pete? If it was ANYONE else, they’d be ripped apart and scored accordingly. #strictly"

Miranda actor Sarah Hadland and professional dance partner Vito Coppola scored 38 for their Charleston to Popular from the musical Wicked, with Coppola letting out a massive cheer at the end of the performance.

Judge Shirley Ballas said of the performance: “I am very into details, and at the beginning, every tiny detail, it looks like you’ve spent hours, and hours, and hours. For me, the lifts were flawless, if you don’t mind me saying, you beautiful princess, a lady in your 50s, not scared to let Vito throw you all over the place.

“In every shape or form, I can honestly say I loved it.”
