Jowita Przystal addmited that Pete Wicks didn't have the easiest of weeks in the lead up to his latest appearance on Strictly Come Dancing. Speaking of appearance, the reality star and podcast looked completely different as he took to the dancefloor with his dance partner.

After Pete channelled George of the Jungle for his Movie Week routine the previous weekend, the former TOWIE star was seen debuting another new look on Saturday night (October 12) - a jet black Elvis-inspired quiff - as he and Jowita performed a Quickstep to A Town Called Malice by The Jam.

While it impressed viewers, Craig Revel Horwood was quick to point out that his hip rolls didn't belong in his routine. But the performance still landed Pete and Jowita a very respectable 29 points out of 40.

It was then on Sunday night (October 13) during the latest results show that it was confirmed Pete and Jowita had made it through to week five of the BBC One dance contest, which will take place this Saturday night (October 19).

Following the programme, Jowita took to Instagram with a snap of her and Pete, in which he was lifting his top to show off the 'tattoo' of Craig holding a '10' paddle that had appeared on his torse.

Alongside the post she wrote: "Thank you !!!!!!!!!! We are over the moon we can dance for you again. I know this week wasn’t the easiest but @p_wicks01 you are a true fighter and thank you for being you! I cannot wait to come back to the reh room with you tomorrow and create another beautiful story. But my question is…. Shall we keep the tattoo? [crying laughing emojis]."
