BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans instantly make Pete Wicks complaint in latest live show
by Jessica Sansome · Manchester Evening NewsStrictly Come Dancing fans were left with a complaint as Pete Wicks opened the latest live show. After his pink latex-wearing appearance last weekend, the podcast host and reality star was suited and booted as he returned to the ballroom.
Week ten of the BBC One dance contest got underway on Saturday night (November 23), and it saw the show broadcasting live back to Elstree Studios following last weekend's Blackpool extravaganza, where the remaining seven couples hoped to impress as the final edges closer into sight.
Pete and his professional dance partner Jowita Przystal began the latest live show with an elegant tango which landed him a score of 29 out of a possible 40, which he hopes will take him above bottom of the leaderboard.

Dressed in an all-black suit, Wicks guided and dipped his professional partner Jowita Przystal across the dancefloor to Easy Lover by Philip Bailey and Phil Collins.
Head judge Shirley Ballas hailed him as "quite an extraordinary performer" and that this week she loved that he was “focused on the job at hand". Meanwhile, Motsi Mabuse said the routine "really suits" Pete and complimented his top line.
But fans of Pete weren't happy with Pete and Jowita being made to go out first which has been dubbed the 'death slot' as it's proved unlucky for some couples so far in the hit dance show.
