Viewers question judges' leniency towards Strictly contestant Pete Wicks

independent.co.uk — November 30, 2024 at 10:01 PM UTC

Viewers of "Strictly Come Dancing" are expressing confusion over the judges' comments regarding contestant Pete Wicks. Despite scoring low, Wicks continues to advance in the competition, leading some fans to question the judges' leniency towards him. On November 30, Wicks and his partner scored 26 for their Waltz, prompting criticism from fans who feel the judges are too soft on him. In contrast, other contestants, like Chris McCausland, received harsher feedback for minor mistakes. Wicks, known for his time on "The Only Way Is Essex," has faced backlash for his continued presence in the competition. He recently shared on his podcast that he has received threatening messages, including one wishing him harm.
