The Pet Shop Boys will then be back during Sunday night's (November 17) crucial results show with their latest single, a cover of Mott The Hoople’s All The Young Dudes, which David Bowie wrote, before the latest couple to leave the competition is revealed.

But back to the couples and one of them set to perform in the famous Tower Ballroom are Pete and Jowita who made it through to week nine of Strictly's 2024 series after an emotional couple's choice routine.

Former The Only Way is Essex star (TOWIE), who was visibly fighting back tears on the night, and Jowita went on to be praised for their "moving" performance to The Best by Nicotine Dolls, which was performed in tribute to Pate's late grandmother, Doreen.

It's been revealed that Pete and Jowita will be going for a change of pace this weekend as they're going to be performing a Cha Cha to I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred and the pair have been sharing details about their upcoming routine.

"Last week very much felt like me - this week very much does not," Pete admitted when speaking to Janette Manrara during Wednesday night's (November 13) episode of Strictly spin-off It Takes Two.

"Do you not think you are sexy?" asked Janette Manrara to which replied: "You have seen me dance. One thing about me dancing is that it is not sexy! I mean, the routine Jowita has got for it, it looks like something out of Magic Mike and I feel like it is going to be less 'Magic Mike' and more 'Tragic Pete'."

Jowita has since taken to Instagram with a snap of Pete practicing for their next routine and as well as sporting his black vest and matching black wide-leg joggers, his was also wearing his dance showes and a hat. "Pete's dressed up as...?" Jowita asked alongside a box on her Instagram Story so her followers could respond.

Elsewhere, she also confirmed they were in Blackpool with a selfie of herself, Pete and Jamie Borthwick as they headed in the ballroom. "It's real," she wrote alongside the happy snap with a love heart eyes emoji.
