Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left feeling disappointed after Saturday night’s show as they believed that Pete Wicks was ‘robbed’ despite being one of the most improved dancers of the series. The reality star and podcast host, along with his dance partner Jowita Przystal, returned to the ballroom for the Halloween special, where they performed a haunting Viennese waltz to That’s Life by Frank Sinatra, inspired by Todd Phillips’ Joker film.
Their performance earned them their highest score of the series with 31 points out of 40, with the judges praising Pete for his improvement and commitment to the character. Despite receiving positive feedback, fans took to social media to express their frustration, with some believing that Pete and Jowita deserved even higher scores.
While some viewers felt that Pete and Jowita were ‘robbed’ and deserved 9s for their performance, others acknowledged the steady improvement Pete has shown throughout the competition. Many praised his acting skills and the way he embodied the Joker character, with some describing it as his best dance yet.
It’s clear that Pete’s dedication to his performances and his willingness to take on challenging roles have not gone unnoticed by fans and judges alike. As the competition continues, it will be interesting to see how Pete continues to grow and impress both the audience and the judges with his dancing skills and creativity.
