In the recent results show of Strictly Come Dancing held on November 24, 2024, Pete Wicks, a contestant and reality television star, faced backlash from fans after he finished at the bottom of the leaderboard but still advanced to the quarter-final round. The outcome led to disappointment among viewers who questioned the fairness of the results as it meant that EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick and his partner Michelle Tsiakkas were eliminated following a dance-off against Montell Douglas and her partner Johannes Radebe. During a follow-up appearance on the spin-off show It Takes Two on November 25, 2024, Pete addressed critics regarding his performance, stating, “It’s obvious I am the weakest dancer here and that is completely fair.” Such candidness reflects both his self-awareness and the intense scrutiny competitors face in reality television, especially in a public voting and performance-based competition like this one.
