Strictly Come Dancing fans all issue same complaint as Pete Wicks performs

Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts were swift to voice their grievances just moments into today's episode.

The BBC's Latin and ballroom contest returns with a fresh instalment, following the sparkle and spectacle of Blackpool, which witnessed singer and television personality Wynne Evans exit the competition after a dance-off with Montell Douglas.

This week, the remaining seven celebrities - including Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell, Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe, Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal, Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola and Tasha Ghouri and Alijaz Skorjanec - will showcase their individual routines in their pairs as well as participate in the danceathon.

However, viewers seem to have the same gripe about Pete Wicks' performance as he took centre stage to kick off the show. As the episode got underway, one viewer posted: "Losing the will to live at Pete still being here. This is a week 3 dance. Absolutely no progression #Strictly," while another chimed in: "Every week I play a game of "which song are they going to murder this time? We have found an early contender for tonight #Strictly.", reports the Mirror.

A third commented: "Crikey, the singers are being drowned out by the music, but based on what I can hear, that might be a good thing for this one. Poor Pete, it's all I can focus on. #Strictly," with a fourth adding: "They are murdering this song. And the song doesn't go with Pete's dance, it feels off #Strictly."

Viewers took to social media to express their displeasure at the song choices for the tango routines on Strictly, as one viewer posted: "This music doesn't go with the tango #strictly," while another said: "This is a terrible song for a Tango. #strictly." A further comment read: "Weird choice of music for a tango. #strictly."

In the latest turn of events on the BBC dance programme, Wynne Evans and his partner Katya Jones were voted off after falling short in the dance-off. He said at the time: "It's been wonderful, I've got to say. I feel like it's what Strictly is all about. If I can come and do Strictly and last until week nine, then anybody can get out there and dance and have a brilliant time.

"Strictly is such a brilliant family, such a precious family, that I want everybody here in this room and at home to look after it for the generations to come because it is a wonderful, wonderful thing."

Katya Jones also spoke fondly of their time together, saying: "To be honest with you, the smile hasn't left my face since the first day of our training, since the day we got partnered up. You have made this experience so joyous and so full of laughter for me. I'm sure everybody was jealous because you're the kind of guy that everybody wants in their life. You bring light, you bring laughter, you bring charisma, you fill up every room you walk into with those qualities."

Meanwhile, Pete managed to escape the danger zone last week, despite facing critique for his rendition of 'I'm Too Sexy' during the show's Blackpool segment.
