Strictly viewers share opinion on Pete Wicks
Wicks, along with his dance partner Jowita Przystal did their couple’s choice to Tina Turner’s Simply the Best.
Previously, Wicks appeared on the Strictly spin-off It Takes Two sharing that this week's dance was in tribute to his late grandmother.
Sharing: “This is going to be a tough one for me based on the fact that I’ve not heard the song all the way through, up until this week, since my nan’s funeral.”
Adding: “My nan was my best mate, and we played this at her funeral because it was her favourite song.”
Wicks was emotional following his performance as Craig Revel Horwood said: “Besides all of the technical stuff I thought it was absolutely moving and absolutely beautiful."
The Strictly judges were not the only ones to have comments as viewers at home all said the same thing about the former The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) star.

Another said: "Blimey got emotional watching Pete on Strictly, I miss my Nan every day so I completely get it."
However, not everyone agreed as one added: “Oh the irony. NOT the best."
