Pete Wicks Advances to Strictly Semi-Finals

Pete Wicks has advanced to the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing, despite consistently placing at the bottom of the leaderboard, sparking outrage among fans who question his presence in the competition. Following last Sunday's results, in which Tasha Ghouri found herself in the dance-off despite being a top performer, many on social media labeled the situation a 'fix.' Former Strictly dancer Ola Jordan defended Pete, asserting that public votes justify his continuation, highlighting his improvement over the weeks. Despite receiving criticism and even death threats, Pete expressed his gratitude and disbelief at making it through, noting the surprising support he has received. Insiders suggest that Pete's charm and dedication have earned him the title of 'People's Champion' among viewers, who appreciate his amateur status and effort rather than technical perfection. The ongoing debate around contest fairness continues as the show progresses towards its finale.
