Strictly: Pete Wicks addresses his 'illegal' move
Strictly Come Dancing was back on Saturday night as the celebrities and their professional partners got all dressed up for Halloween week.
Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal performed a Viennese Waltz to the tune of Frank Sinatra's That's Life, as he donned the iconic Joker costume.
The pair received unanimous praise from the judges and were awarded a grand score of 31, highlighting Pete's improvement from week to week. Anton du Beke said it was Pete's "best dance of the series," before adding: "It's not perfect yet but it was terribly, terribly good."
Head judge Shirley Ballas expressed: "I saw some lovely footwork, the frame I can really see you're trying to keep it up... when you play this back tonight you are going to be very, very proud of yourself like I am."
It seems that the judges weren't the only ones full of high praise for Pete and Jowita, as fans at home flocked to Instagram to share their reactions. One viewer commented: "So good!! Can't believe how much Pete has improved over the weeks."
Another person wrote: "WHAT A DANCE!!! So nice to see Pete's confidence and how much improvement he is making!
"Jowita with her incredible choreography once again. I just honestly couldn't be prouder. Get voting for this team."
Somebody else gushed: "Better and better each week! You're exactly what SCD is all about. Buckle up the final @p_wicks01 it's coming for you."
Yet another expressed: "I'm loving watching these two. Every week Pete gets better and better. Jowita is definitely bringing out the best of him. I'd so love to see them in the final."
