Strictly Come Dancing fans issue same complaint moments into show over Pete Wicks

Strictly: Pete Wicks performs dance to 'Easy Lover'

Strictly Come Dancing viewers wasted no time in expressing their discontent just moments into today's episode.

Following the excitement of Blackpool, which resulted in the elimination of singer and TV presenter Wynne Evans after a dance-off with Montell Douglas, the BBC Latin and ballroom competition has returned with a brand-new episode.

The seven remaining 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, are set to perform their individual routines in their pairs and participate in the danceathon.

However, viewers quickly noticed an issue with Pete Wicks' routine, which kicked off the show. One disgruntled fan wrote: "Losing the will to live at Pete still being here. This is a week 3 dance. Absolutely no progression #Strictly." Another fan added: "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."

A third viewer shared: "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," while a fourth fan wrote: "They are murdering this song. And the song doesn't go with Pete's dance, it feels off #Strictly."

Viewers expressed their disapproval of the song choices," as one wrote: "This music doesn't go with the tango," and another shared: "This is a terrible song for a Tango. #StrictlyComeDancing #strictly." One penned: "Weird choice of music for a tango."

In the latest Strictly Come Dancing news, Wynne Evans and Katya Jones waved goodbye to the BBC spectacle last week after a dance-off defeat.

Post-elimination, Wynne reflected warmly: "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."

Meanwhile, his dance partner Katya commented on their partnership: "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."

Pete managed to steer clear of last week's dance-off, despite facing criticism for his performance to I'm Too Sexy during Blackpool week.
