Pete Wicks is the lowest-scoring celeb left in Strictly Come Dancing, but his popularity with the viewers means he's avoided the dreaded dance-off so far.
In his latest dance last weekend, Pete and his pro partner Jowita Prystal Cha-Cha-Cha'd to Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy, with the star leaving the show's head judge Shirley Ballas hot under the collar.
The couple scored 27 out of 40, receiving just a 4 from judge Craig Revel Horwood, who said: "You fought the dance, uncoordinated, behind the beat, bent leg but huge fun." Finishing bottom of the leaderboard, the star looked shocked not to be in the dance-off with Jowita, 30, revealing: "He prepared a speech and everything."
Pete, 36, is enjoying success off the dance floor too - he is thought to be dating Love Island star Maura Higgins. The rumoured couple were spotted looking extremely cosy at the Mirror's recent Pride Of Britain Awards.

Back in 2019, Pete was seen playing confessions-based drinking game Never Have I Ever with his Towie co-stars and he took a sip when "Never have I ever had a threesome" was the topic up for discussion. This means the star confirmed he had had a threesome and he spoke about the encounter again last year on Fubar radio.
When First Dates waitress Cici Coleman asked: "Have you had an audience?" in relation to sex, Pete admitted: "Yes... There were only three people." "Oh you mean that kind of audience!" said shocked Cici, adding that she was: "Talking a bit more about like, you know, your neighbours are watching, that kind of vibe."

The podcast host, who fronts Staying Relevant with fellow reality star Sam Thompson, has spoken of settling down one day. "I'm nearly 36," he told The Times. "I want to get married and have kids. I've been blessed with so many opportunities, but what's the point if I can't share them with anyone?"
Whether the star's future wife is Maura remains to be seen. The Irishwoman, 33, is set to be one of the late entrants on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, joining the camp at a later date with Reverend Richard Coles. If Pete fails to avoid another Strictly dance-off, could we see him jet out to support her?
